Re Long Wheelbase Phantom III Enclosed Limousine 38-EX. As requested when we saw you in London, we give below the special coachwork features which are to be found on the Long Wheelbase Enclosed Limousine 38-EX, which we understand you will be comparing with a similar standard car:- (1) Rear seat 8" further forward of the rear axle then on the standard enclosed limousine Phantom III. All of the other body dimensions are the same as standard. (2) Dashboard 2" wider. (3) Body constructed entirely in steel. (4) Body mounted on Andre "Floatex" rubber mounting bushes in the place of the solid blocks of rubber. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
