One of only about 1,767 Phantom IIs produced, XJ 127 was ordered new by Robert T. Neely of New York, and this early-production example was shipped to Paris for Hibbard and Darrin coachwork. The original French chassis plate, Marchal headlamps and driving lamp and copies of factory records confirm that XJ 127 was guaranteed by Rolls-Royce in France. Purchased in 1999 by Mr. Bill Howitt, it underwent a complete restoration, and the engine was rebuilt and balanced by marque expert Brian Joseph, who also installed new wiring.
