The Rolls-Royce Phantom VI is a Limousines and other styles to buyer's choice from Rolls-Royce, built from 1968 to 1990, in the decade that gave the world the pony car and the mid-engined supercar. Under the bonnet: 6.2-litre (380 cubic inch) Rolls-Royce V8 engine.
How it came about
The Rolls-Royce Phantom VI is a British limousine made from 1968 to 1990 by Rolls-Royce. A total of 374 Phantom VIs were made, of which fewer than 40 were manufactured in the last decade of production. The exterior is nearly identical to the facelifted Phantom V, on which it was based.
The hardware
Power comes from 6.2-litre (380 cubic inch) Rolls-Royce V8 engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 2.5 t. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 145 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Phantom V; its successor was the Silver Spur Touring Limousine; assembly was at West Sussex, England, United Kingdom. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Peugeot 504, the Toyota Hilux, the Range Rover Range Rover — show what else the money bought that year. Its Rolls-Royce stablemates include the Rolls-Royce 100EX and the Rolls-Royce 102EX.
What it costs now
There is no federal ownership record for the Rolls-Royce Phantom VI — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
