dsl ◊ 2024-02-13 18:22	Agree this is almost certainly [5BV7]. Apparently only 3 early P5 Landaulettes (ie with single headlights) were built Coachbuild.com says: "Rolls-Royce Phantom V with landaulette coachwork by Park Ward, chassis number 5BV7. Originally ordered as a Park Ward design 980 7-passenger limousine for the use of the British Ambassador to Japan, early on in the build process it was changed to design 1000, a landaulette. One other car to this design was built, chassis number 5LCG51 for the President of Tunisia. This landaulette is very similar to design 1104 seen on chassis number 5CG37 for The Queen Mother. 5BV7's chassis was delivered to Park Ward on 22.9.1960, the completed car being delivered to the shippers on 27.2.1961 and shipped per the "Chusan" on 6.3.1961 from London to Hong Kong. It is finished in Black with Blue hide to the front compartment and Blue Grey West of England cloth to the rear compartment. Attached is one shot of 5BV7, taken in 1975 when The Queen made a visit to Hong Kong, taken on Garden Road." Apparently, also in the procession were a number of Daimler DS420 limousines, a period Ford Zephyr and a Holden estate. Another site says (after changing some potentially dodgy wording) "The Governor of Hong Kong was the representative in Hong Kong of the British Crown from 1843 to 1997. In this capacity the governor was president of the Executive Council and Commander-in-Chief of British Forces Overseas Hong Kong. In 1961 during the governance of Sir Robert Brown Black a Rolls Royce Phantom V state limousine landaulette was ordered through coachbuilders Park Ward. This car, chassis 5BV7, is one of three (almost) similar designs. The other two were built for president Habib Bourguiba of Tunesia and Elisabeth Bowes-Lyon, the late Queen Mother. After the handover of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China this car was quickly removed by the Royal Navy and brought back to England" What happened to it after the removal and where it is now is an unresolved mystery .... This thread has some interesting chatter about 5BV7 and other P5s in HK.
