1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Special Newmarket Convertible Sedan by Brewster: One of 125Only 125 Rolls-Royce Phantom II chassis were produced with left-hand drive, numbered as the AJS and AMS series. Chassis number 234AJS, offered here, was one of only three of these cars bodied by Brewster as Newmarket convertible sedans, a style more often seen on the Phantom I, and is one of two of these delineated as Special models, indicating it had deviations from the stock design. In this case, such touches included the brightwork, finished in polished brass. Red over black with red interior. The Phantom II has been joyfully driven and maintained, retaining its original engine and coachwork, it is believed to have had only cosmetic restoration. The car has been well-looked-after mechanically, with the help of specialist friends in the Rolls-Royce world, and is running and driving well, having been enjoyed for regional events and local parades. It is sure to be a treasured possession for its next caretaker. Built for prominent politician Vance McCormick of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania One of just 125 left-hand-drive Phantom II chassis built A wonderful open AJS Phantom II, with fascinating local history Ideal for CCCA and other touring eventsPrice: $189,500

1 of 18 1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Regent Convertible Coupe by BrewsterThis handsome 1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Regent Convertible Coupe with Coachwork by Brewster is a matching numbers example and one of just 18 produced. A beautiful original example offered with documented history. Grey with burgundy interior. It wears a new soft-top, leather upholstery, and carpeting as well as reconditioned woodwork. An attractive car with just the right amount of patina. The older repaint is presentable but not perfect and shows its age in a few areas. Mechanically sound, it runs and drives well. A very straight car with a good door fit. As it was when new, the great characteristic of this style of coachwork is its versatility. Capable of offering full open motoring to breeze along in the sunshine, with none of the elegance of the car impeded, or proper isolation from the elements on colder or wetter days, this Phantom I can do it all. Anyone who has ever driven a well set up Phantom I will tell you that they are great tour cars. The 7.7 liter engine provides an overabundance of torque which makes them delightfully easy to drive. This engine is of course paired with a wonderful chassis with servo assisted brakes, and the exquisite deftness and precision of all the controls make the Phantom I one of the best driving experiences from the pre-war era.This Rolls-Royce Phantom I was delivered new to a Mr. John Brichetto, a bank president and land owner in Sacramento, California. Mr. Brichetto was clearly a man of great taste and means, and had the car delivered to him at The Hotel St. Francis, in downtown San Francisco. The car remained in his ownership until his death in 1934. The car dropped out of sight but remained in Northern California. After the war the car was in the ownership of Mr. Rafe Selfridge, a member of the Selfridge family, founders of Selfridge department stores in London, England. In the late 1950s Mr. Selfridge sold the car to his friend John Maxfield. Mr. Maxfield embarked on a fairly epic journey driving the Rolls from Barstow, CA to Gainesville, Florida. Mr. Maxfield continued to enjoy the car until 1973 when it passed to a fellow CCCA member Carter Farrar of Lakewood, Colorado. Mr. Farrar retained the car until his passing in 1998, when it was then sold on to Mr. Elliot Grossman in New York, who retained the car until 2012. From that point, the car was sold to its previous owner who replaced the soft-top, leather upholstery, and carpeting as well as reconditioned the woodwork. Today, this Rolls-Royce Phantom I Regent Convertible by Brewster is the perfect candidate for weekend drives and tours. Certainly a lovely addition to any collection.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Hershey event, 8 - 9 October 2025. rnOffered Without Reserve | $100,000 - $125,000 USD rnrnOffered from nearly 30 years of continuous enthusiast ownershiprnDelivered new to film pioneer Max A. SchlesingerrnAn active participant in the RROC since the mid-1950srnAttractive older restoration; a superb family tour carrn rnrnAmong the beautiful bodies produced for the American-built Springfield Phantom I was the Newport town car, an unusually well-proportioned formal car distinguished by crisp modern lines, including a hoodline extended back to the angled windshield, and a relatively low roof. This style was produced mainly for the succeeding Phantom II, but a handful were mounted to very late Phantom I chassis, often ones that had remained unsold for years following their construction-typical in the Great Depression.rnrnProduced very late in the final PR series of chassis, this Phantom I, chassis number S216PR, was also among the last of the model to have been delivered, warrantied to its original owner on 6 March 1935, nearly at the tail end of Phantom II production. The fortunate recipient was Max A. Schlesinger, the British-born proprietor of General Talking Pictures, and a pioneer of talkies as owner of the rights to the Phonofilm sound and film-recording process. His residence was noted as the Savoy-Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, with a business address, unsurprisingly, a stone's throw from Times Square and Sardi's-the Phantom I was at home at both.rnrnThe Rolls-Royce Foundation's ownership records for the car pick up in 1951 with Richard F. Blanchard of Morristown, New Jersey, who sold it the following year to Robert H. Babcox Jr. of Mentor, Ohio. Mr. Babcox enjoyed displaying the car occasionally in Midwestern events until 1964, when he sold it to Don and Audrey Fowler, also of the Buckeye State. The Fowlers would prove to be chassis S216PR's longest owners, maintaining the Rolls for over 30 years and, in that time, driving it extensively to events and in tours all over North America.rnrnIn 1996 the Fowlers sold the car to the current caretaker, whose family has now enjoyed it for nearly three decades themselves. It has continued to participate in Rolls-Royce Owners Club events, earning the current owner his first Guerrero Award for Best Personal Mechanical Restoration and First in Class at the 2002 Annual Meet. Clearly always a well-loved car, the restoration remains highly attractive, in very appropriate colors, with the original body number stamping in its woodwork and the original engine under the hood still present.rnrnNow offered from long-term care, this is a wonderful and much-loved example of the Phantom I Newport, one of Brewster's most elegant creations.rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
