Anotace

This large slip cased Volume covers the Rolls-Royce Phantom 111 from the 1930's hundreds of Black and White photo's including full index of production with chassis numbers.

The book The Spectre Arises covers The Story of the Phantom III, the ultimate Pre-war Rolls-Royce. The author is Steve Stuckey, from Australia, and is the result of more than 30 years of research into the Phantom III. The Spectre Arises describes in detail the development of the most innovative Rolls-Royce of the pre-war era, with its 7.4 litre V-12 engine and independent front suspension. This is followed by comprehensive chapters about the coachbuilders and the bodies they mounted on the chassis, and histories of many of the cars. There are almost 500 illustrations, most from the 1930s and 1940s, including large numbers of original coachbuilder and dealer photographs, many never published before. Most examples of the 727 Phantom IIIs ever built are illustrated in the book.
