André Blaize, who is a Rolls-Royce author & historian, asks our help in tracing the owner of the Phantom III you see here. It’s chassis #3CP14 with a limousine body by Rippon. It was delivered new to Mrs. Edith Sophia Weatherhead of Netherside, Bingley, Yorks in 1938. Much later it went to the USA and recently came back to the Old Continent. It was imported into Holland on the first of November 2005 and the photo shows it in 2006, possibly in a Dutch museum or car dealership. Its Dutch registration number AM-02-27 is still valid, but the cars' whereabouts are unknown. The reason that André is trying to trace the owner is that the grandfather of a friend owned this car in the 1950s and this friend has just found the custom made suitcases which fit in the boot. Perhaps we can re-unite the Rolls with its original suitcases?
