I know some of you have no interest in old cars at all, but as you know, I have quite a love of some of the classic cars - here are some I saw recently on the net.

This great old Phantom III has been for sale in Germany for some time now.

The cognoscenti generally argue that the Phantom II is the greatest Rolls-Royce of them all but I have always preferred the Phantom III - it is one of my favourite cars of all time.






This wonderful 1938 Phantom III is for sale in the US.







I know it's not a Rolls-Royce, but I can't resist - my favourite vintage marque of all - Voisin - pronounce "vwu-zan" - this one is for sale in Germany - I love this car.

1934 Avions Voisin C 24






And finally, something a little more recent - LOL

This 1962 Rolls-Royce Phantom V with the open chauffeur's compartment is really beautiful.

hummm ... I need to be so rich to have a nice collection of those ..

so the sucide doors on the 100Ex concept was actually an old tradition in RR coupe ..

man those cars are so original .. u can smell the natural leather and wood from here lol

LOL - yes I know - I would love to own that Voisin but It is far too valuable to use as daily transport + it would look a little bit strange driving it around in the city.


Here's another Voisin I found on the net a while ago - Hmmmmm - this one is wonderful.

Rnds: i know it might look strange if u cruise arround the town with those classic cars ..

i remember a guy used to cruise with a car something like voisin or some old american classic .. man he was known all over the city .. everybody is staring trying to find out who is driving that car .. is he a sheik or or not lol .. u know .. but i don't mind having those in garage ..

They look good for the elegance shows, but i wouldn't want to drive one around.... Just too antiquated for me....

Have you ever seen a car interior in Louis XV style. This Phantom I was commissioned by an American businessman in 1927 as a romantic gift for his wife.

This is an extraordinary car (hideous but extraordinary), it took 20 years to finish (I'm not kidding), but then it was an Italian coachbuilder working on "Italian time"

It is a 1971 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI and was built by Pietro Frua at his coachbuilding company in Northern Italy.



Frua died before the body was completed and so the job passed through several other coachbuilders before finally being completed in 1992.

The interior is so magnificent, even King Louis XIV would have approved.



Frua had previously created this Rolls-Royce Phantom VI Drop Head Coupé for a Swiss gentleman.

The design of the standard Phantom VI is much more appealing to me, but these cars are incredible, if not for anything else, then for their extravagance and exclusivity.

Here's a picture of the Phantom VI compared with the current Phantom.

rnds, i'm really amazed with your "love" towards those old cars, you really know a lot about them.

But what i really can't understand is *** is going on with your avatars?!?

SDNR

LOL - what do you mean?

Tycoon

Lol, i've never seen such avatars as yours; some weird chairs (you had back at GCforums), then these like the current one... Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying you're or something... It's just funny!
