Not quite....The twin headlamps and new wingline came in 1963 on the Phantom V. Phantom VI took over in 1968 with no discernible styling differences. The "Corniche" engine came much later on, in 1979, the only significant other change to the cars.

Unlike the Silver Cloud II/III the quadlamps on the Phantom didn't apparently warrant a "series" change.....

Going northbound on M3 earlier this evening, fairly heavy traffic but plenty of spacing between cars. I was in the nearside of a prolonged 2-lane section just north of Winchester, probably sitting at just under the limit. Outside lane just had the odd overtaker.....

Spotted an "old" shape in my mirror and bugger me it is coming fast....

Bristol 403 drones past at about 85mph.

Bloody glorious sight and sound.

Last Sunday was the second morning classic meet at a local garden centre thus I jumped into my Focus as my Impala is still away (one day I'll get it back) and I haven't yet woken up my Anglia because CBA. I wasn't at the meet for long as I was also on my way to my local toyfair to buy more models with which to clutter up my house. On with the pics.

Love the style of the rover.
As I suspected I was right about everything.
