    The Phantom VI (the Phantom available in 1980) cost nearly nearly half a million pounds new. The Silver Spirit (or Spur depending on where you were) is probably the rolls you are thinking of, and it had a MSRP of a little over $100k new.

    According to the CPI inflation calculator the Phantom would be about $1.4 million today, and the Silver Spirit would be about $334k.

    This year’s phantom starts at around half a million but (IMO) it’s more of a “luxury car” compared to the ultra high end Phantom VI. But I think the Phantom is less of a car you buy and more of a modular platform you build your car on top of so I imagine there’s so multimillion dollar phantoms rolling (hehe) around

      Yeah the phantom might not be a good choice since its price varies hugely based on customization and didn’t have a MSRP. I was looking at the Phantom V though which was produced in the 60s.
