Before and after photos of the incredibly unusual 1925 Jonckheere Rolls-Royce Phantom Aerodynamic Coupe

the Raja of Nanpara Estate had already contained a polished aluminum 40/50HP Silver Ghost when he ordered Rolls-Royce’s latest Phantom. Upon arrival, the owner probably didn’t like the conventional Hooper cabriolet bodywork because it was eventually scrapped and replaced with what you see here.Almost 10 years old, this rolling chassis was then shipped to Belgium to the shop of Henri Jonckheere

Would you store a one of a kind concept car so long it deteriorated, lost all value, and then sell it? Kinda stupid isn't it. The 1954 Mercury XM800
