Where to buy a Phantom salvage?

Hello everyone,

Weird question i'm sure but does anyone have any info or previous experience / knowledge about purchasing a RR Phantom from 2004 and up that is of a salvage title?

I am in need of frame, body, interior but none of the running gear.

I have searched online and I can't find many places online that sell this. And its almost impossible for me to get a price range for purchasing a non operational salvage title with 80% of body intact.

Anyone have any insight on this?

Thanks
Christian

I would imagine this is a very tricky proposition, simply because it's such a low volume production car - I don't know about the USA, but in the UK such vehicles would not appear on the open market, but would either be offered directly by insurance companies to breakers they have a relationship with, or, offered through specialist auctions. (in the UK, if a car is written off by an insurance company, it becomes the property of the insurers - I don't know if it's the same in the US)

You might be better off trying to find an early car that has been really poorly looked after, and as such has a low resale value. I seem to remember a youtube video someone posted about a Phantom in such a state - completely run into the ground.
