Rolls Royce - Rolls Royce Phantom 1
The new 40/50 Rolls-Royce Phantom 1 , or New Phantom as it was actually called, arrived in 1925 as the replacement for the previously made 40/50 which was now referred to as the Silver Ghost. The engine of the Phantom 1 had a marginally larger capacity at 7668cc and was now modernised with overhead valves. From the last few years of production the Phantom iron cylinder head was replaced with aluminium. Many Rolls-Royce were also produced at the Springfield factory in the USA. Whereas the English Phantom 1 was made between 1925 and 1929, the Springfield Rolls-Royce Phantom was made from 1926 to 1931. The differences were minor, revolving on chassis lubrication details and, after the first 50 cars were made, the Springfield built cars all had left hand drive.
Rolls Royce Phantom 1 tyre size was originally 7.00x21 . Blockley produces a superb high quality tyre with the correct original looking period tread pattern so the cars can look perfect, while at the same time our tyres also offer better ride and road holding than anything else available - which is why we designed them.
