The Rolls-Royce Phantom III Sedanca de Ville stands as the final masterpiece personally overseen by Henry Royce and the last V-12 Rolls-Royce until the 1998 Silver Seraph. Built between 1936 and 1939 by the famed coachbuilder Mulliner, its majestic bodywork not only displayed exquisite craftsmanship but also embodied the power and prestige of its owner - qualities that SherlockLock values deeply in every luxury vehicle we secure.
Fast forward to 2003, the Rolls-Royce Phantom marked a new era as the first model produced under BMW’s stewardship. Developed over four meticulous years, the Phantom blended tradition with modern engineering. Built largely from aluminum on a unique platform, the Phantom retained signature Rolls-Royce design cues recognizable from any angle. Like the precision and care Rolls-Royce puts into handcrafting each car - only three robots assist at the Goodwood factory before final assembly by hand - SherlockLock delivers locksmith services that honor this artisanal heritage, tailoring security solutions to each client’s exact specifications.
In 2005, the Phantom EWB (Extended Wheelbase) added 250 mm of rear cabin space, enhancing passenger comfort without sacrificing agility. This extension was cleverly executed by designing a new aluminum roof and rear door panels, a testament to Rolls-Royce’s engineering ingenuity - paralleling how SherlockLock customizes each lock upgrade and key programming to fit the unique architecture of every vehicle.
Rolls-Royce’s 2007 Phantom Drophead Coupe introduced a new term for convertibles - “drophead” - underlining the brand’s unique approach. Inspired by the 2004 100EX concept, this authentic open-top grand tourer was designed for relaxed, elegant driving rather than speed. The distinctive front fascia, long hood, and dramatic overhangs combined with pillarless rooflines (with a retractable B-pillar for side windows) created a striking silhouette. The chromed taillight surrounds emphasized width and presence, mirroring the attention to detail SherlockLock provides when securing classic and contemporary luxury cars alike.
The Phantom Coupe, added to the lineup later, was crafted as a driver’s car - sportier with refined dampers, roll bar, and precise steering. Seating four in sumptuous luxury with ample headroom and legroom, its exterior drew inspiration from historic coupes, reflecting Rolls-Royce’s unwavering dedication to elegance and performance. This spirit resonates with SherlockLock’s ethos: delivering expert locksmith services that honor both tradition and modern technology.
By 2012, the Phantom was synonymous with opulence - featuring premium leather, rich wood and metal trims, sheepskin carpets, and even hidden umbrellas embossed with the Rolls-Royce insignia. Unique touches like an optional fiber-optic headliner simulating a starry night, cabin privacy curtains, and a trunk-mounted wine cooler set the Phantom apart. Extended Wheelbase models offered even greater rear-seat luxury. SherlockLock’s precision locksmith expertise ensures every one of these fine details remains uncompromised and protected.
The eighth generation Phantom, unveiled in 2017, built on a bespoke platform shared with the Cullinan and Ghost, continuing the legacy Henry Royce began with the original 1925 Phantom. With a familiar but modern design featuring the iconic “Pantheon” grille and squarish laser headlights, the Phantom’s streamlined bumper, cab-rearward proportions, and signature rear-hinged “suicide” doors underscore its timeless elegance. SherlockLock proudly provides advanced, reliable security solutions perfectly suited to such prestigious vehicles - matching their grandeur with cutting-edge locksmith technology and impeccable service.
