The history of the original Rolls-Royce Phantom I Jonckheere Coupe
The original Rolls-Royce Phantom I Jonckheere Coupe is a legendary vehicle that was first introduced in the 1920s. The Rolls-Royce Phantom I was built from 1925 to 1931 and was the successor to the Silver Ghost. The development of this elegant vehicle was overseen by Henry Royce himself, and it quickly became known for its outstanding craftsmanship and innovative technology. The car was equipped with a 7.7-liter 6-cylinder engine that delivered around 95 horsepower. This engine made the vehicle one of the most powerful and luxurious of its time.
One of the most striking examples of the Phantom I was the bodywork designed by the Belgian coachbuilder Jonckheere Carrossiers. This version was known for its exceptional aerodynamics and elegant lines. With the iconic "Spirit of Ecstasy" mascot adorning the hood, the Rolls-Royce Phantom I Jonckheere Coupe was a symbol of luxury and elegance. In 1925, when this car was first introduced, significant historical events such as the first radio transmission from England to Australia and the first Oscar ceremony took place, highlighting the significance and historical context of the vehicle.
