That name doesn't fit in any normal garage.
Just like the car.

It's larger than it appears to be, believe me.

In 1971 the Consul of Monaco Simon van Kempen ordered this coach built Phantom based one-off designed by Pietro Frua. After a lot of trouble due to language barriers and stuff van Kempen finally got his beauty on 5th September 1973, and she's still going strong, with over 400.000km on the clock. You can imagine the amount of brakes and shocks and all she went through.
The original 6.3L Crewe V8 was later replaced by the 6 3/4L version.

Facts:
6.75L OHV V8, 200hp, 510Nm
4-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel-drive
2950kg
L/W/H: 6570mm x 2050mm x 1680mm
Top speed: near 115mph
