by In the USA, a unique Rolls-Royce Phantom V State Landaulet with a very interesting history is up for auction at RM Sotheby’s. At different times, it was used by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.
In fact, Ceausescu ordered a luxurious Rolls-Royce from the Mulliner Park Ward atelier in 1966. As you know, the landaulet body implies a folding soft roof over the rear seats.
The interior of the Rolls-Royce Phantom V is very luxurious. Of course, the finish combines leather and wood, and the equipment includes air conditioning, an audio system, a TV, folding tables, and a set of expensive crystal. In addition to the phone, there is a separate communication system for talks with the driver.

Nicolae Ceausescu, as is known, loved luxurious life, but such a car was too grand even for him. This was hinted at by Leonid Brezhnev, after which the car was decided to be returned to the factory and exchanged for a more “modest” Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom V was resold in the USA, and then the car ended up in Bermuda, where it served Queen Elizabeth II twice during her visits. The limousine was also used by Hollywood star and Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly during her trip to America.
