The fifth of Rolls-Royce's stately Phantom models replaced its predecessor in 1959, and was based on the company's Silver Cloud II model. It was therefore powered by the same well-proven, all-alloy 6230cc V8 engine and drove through General Motors' super-smooth four-speed Hydramatic automatic transmission. The front suspension was independent courtesy of wishbones and coil springs, while semi-elliptic leaf springs were employed at the rear. The steering was power-assisted, as were the very sizeable drum brakes. The notably stiff chassis and generously proportioned wheelbase of 3683mm were perfectly suited to the coachbuilder's art and a total of 516 Phantom Vs were clothed by the combination of H J Mulliner, Park Ward and James Young before the model was superseded in 1968. Examples built from 1963 onwards benefited from the Cloud III's engine, which is said to have produced seven percent more power; they also incorporated that model's revised frontage, with its quad headlamp arrangement and squatter radiator grille.
