Rolls Royce Phantom VI
Though it had been expressed that the days of motor cars of the like of the Phantom V were undoubtedly numbered in 1968 Rolls-Royce launched the Phantom VI as a logical progression keeping up the luxurious and high standards set in the past. The Phantom VI had a re-styled facia and was powered by an engine developed from that of the current Silver Shadow. An increase in capacity to 6,750 cc in 1979 was coupled with the introduction of a 3-speed automatic gearbox instead of the previously employed 4-speed automatic gearbox. This last specimen of a passenger motor car with separate chassis produced by Rolls-Royce was offered until 1991. The Mulliner Park Ward factory at Willesden, where with but very few exceptions all Phantom VIs had been fitted with handcrafted bodies, was closed in 1991 after a few additional sets of panels had been shaped for storage to be available in case of accident.
