Historic Rolls-Royce of Morocco’s King Mohammed V Heads to Auction Block

The 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I, which once belonged to King Mohammed V, is about to be auctioned off on August 4. Its price is expected to be between £130,000 and £150,000, according to the British press.

This exceptional piece has been prepared in Paris by James Radley, the famous Rolls-Royce driver. In addition to having undergone a meticulous and long-lasting restoration, recently completed and begun in 1985, the Phantom is distinguished by its elegant bodywork.

The late king seems to have been a lover of fine cars. A 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Coupe Speciale, formerly owned by King Mohammed V, will also be auctioned off in August by RM Sotheby’s. This car is part of a collection discovered after the passage of a hurricane in Florida.
