Rolls-Royce Phantom VI Seven Passenger Limousine Coachwork by Mulliner, Park Ward Introduced at the 1968 Motor Show and listed as the world's most expensive car, the mighty Phantom VI was an exclusive cost-no-object car for a limited and discriminating clientele, indeed a Phantom VI was the motor industry's Silver Jubilee gift to Her Majesty the Queen in 1977. A logical development of the Phantom V which it supplanted, the Phantom VI retained the superlative MP-W bodywork, while replacing the old 6,230cc Silver Cloud III engine of its predecessor with the more powerful 6,750cc Silver Shadow V8. This unit was upgraded with full factory-fitted air-conditioning, with separate units in the scuttle and boot, serving front and rear compartments respectively, the air inlet grille on the scuttle being the principle external difference between the two Phantoms, along with new rear light clusters. Rolls-Royce Phantom VI bodies were coachbuilt in the Park Ward tradition with hand beaten aluminium panels using wooden panel bucks and rollers, pinned and clinched to a galvanised steel and alloy frame.
