[2] Other coachbuilders, including Hooper, Henri Chapron and Woodall Nicholson, built one or two bodies each on Phantom V chassis.
[1]From 1963 onward, the Silver Cloud III's 7% more powerful engine and new front wings (incorporating the latter's quad headlamps) were fitted.
[3] Beatle John Lennon bought a 1964 Mulliner Park Ward Phantom V, finished in Valentines Black.
[4] Originally the car was customised from Park Ward with black leather upholstery, cocktail cabinet with fine-wood trim, writing table, reading lamps, a seven-piece his-and-hers black-hide luggage set, and a Perdio portable television.
[4] In December 1965, Lennon made a seven-page list of changes that cost more than £1900: the back seat could change into a double bed, a Philips Auto-Mignon AG2101 floating record player that prevented the needle from jumping, a Radio Telephone and a cassette tape deck were added, while speakers were mounted in the front wheel wells so that occupants could talk outside via microphone.
[6] Artist Steve Weaver produced red, orange, green and blue swirls, floral side panels and a Libra on the roof.
In 1977 John Lennon's psychedelic Rolls-Royce was donated by him to the Cooper-Hewitt Museum at the Smithsonian Institution to cover an IRS bill of $250,000.
The Cooper-Hewitt Museum auctioned the car in 1985 at Sotheby's for $2,299,000 to Canadian businessman Jim Pattison, who donated it to the Province of British Columbia.
Having been retired from active service in 2002, both are now on public display: one in the royal motor museum at Sandringham,[8] and the other in the special garage aboard HMY Britannia in Leith, Edinburgh.
