Phantom Revival

Eureka! I wondered what had become of the City of Belfast's Rolls-Royce Phantom VI limousine.

David Irvine discovered it.


The navy blue colour partly remains, though the car is now painted two-tone, grey on the sides.

The car was re-registered as WVO 338G.


The mayoral limousine was probably ordered at Stanley Harvey & Company Limited, Clarence Street West, Belfast.


Note the well-upholstered leather hide seating, with occasional seats.

The upholstery befits, and has supported, many illustrious and esteemed posteriors...


...and the drinks cabinet: The Bristol Cream or a wee dram today, my Lord Mayor?


It is known that the car was for sale on Ebay recently.

First published in August, 2012.
