The body of the first Phantom IV took almost a year to build and the car was finally delivered to The Car Mart on 6 July 1950, after some 230 miles of testing at the Motor Industry Research Association facilities. It was ordered on 15 November 1948 by Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip, through their official Rolls-Royce retailer, and was originally planned to be the only Phantom IV, a one off. The car was built at the Crewe works.
