"Among the scarcest bodies for the Phantom V were those built by Park Ward, which in 1961 was merged with H.J. Mulliner under Rolls-Royce auspices, becoming Mulliner Park Ward. Thus, only the earliest Phantom Vs were bodied by Park Ward independently, some to their very attractive body design 980, a “notchback” limousine.". Post-merger Mulliner Park Ward body seems to have been more common as the Touring Limousine with a smoother profile, alongside the even smoother James Young Touring Limousine.

PW bodied 132 Phantom V MPW bodied 112 Phantom V and 366 Phantom VI. James Taylor says he has segregated the PW from MPW design #980 in a different way from other writers so his numbers may differ. These qties include all design types, not just #980. -- Last edit: 2020-09-15 12:23:41
