Its aerodynamic body was designed by Jarvis of Wimbledon  and an enlarged 7.8-liter Phantom engine was fitted with aluminum cylinder heads and a modified cam-shaft in order to attempt the magic 100 mpg. The car was one of the fastest in its day and one of only a few Rolls-Royces to be called a Phantom Sports. After much testing by Henry Royce himself  who was never really convinced of the importance of racing  the car was sold in 1929 to the young Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir  where it led a regal life for a few short months amongst the 26 other Rolls-Royces that belonged to the Maharaja's family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eThis remarkable 1928 17EX Sports Rolls-Royce Phantom I is the final example of a series of four experimental lightweight sporting cars developed in the latter part of the 1920s at the personal request of Henry Royce to explore the performance potential of the Phantom I chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe model features classic wheels with spokes, big fenders, headlights, and two row of seats\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eComplete with hood ornament and convertible, the 1928 17EX Sports Rolls-Royce Phantom I is an admirable piece of beauty that is a must-have for any collector or enthusiast!\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e100% iron frame\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMetal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWheels roll\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes seats, steering wheel, and small details on dash\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Old Modern Handicrafts Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47407451439292,"sku":"OMHI-AJ051","price":105.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/3832\/2364\/files\/61IgZ9rJIcL.jpg?v=1788532623","url":"https:\/\/store.virventures.com\/products\/1928-17ex-sports-rolls-royce-phantom","provider":"Virventures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
