The Phantom is believed to have been used by the Lord Mayor of London from 1965-1967; there is a letter on file from 'The Private Secretary to the Lord Mayor' concerning the car in 1979. Also present are extensive records dating back to the time of manufacture: copies of original build sheets, buff logbooks, letters and notes from past owners, photographs, etc. Among them is a letter and invoices from Rolls Royce Ltd, Willesden relating to service history from the 1940s to the 1960s.
Also on file is a copy of an article in Motor (26th May 1979 edition). The magazine's tester was obviously enamoured of the Phantom: "I have this vision of how I would use CWR 450 were she mine. I would use her every year for a two-week summer jaunt to the French Riviera. We would spend the first week driving down there, and the second week driving back; we would travel entirely by country roads, lunching on French bread and Beaujolais by the roadside; we would amble along in our own good time, with dignity, and in comfort and silence; and we would have absolutely no doubt that the old girl would get us there and back without faltering. She inspires that kind of faith, for the quality really does endure."
During present ownership the car has been maintained by pre-war Rolls-Royce specialists Silver Chalice in Sheffield. Recently the Phantom was resprayed in cream over black and the brightwork re-chromed, the works being completed in 2018. Stored between 2018 and 2022, though regularly run up to temperature,the Phantom is described as in great condition both inside and out.
