The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé Waterspeed Collection, which was conceived to celebrate Sir Malcolm Campbell's act of setting a new world water-speed record in 1937, has made its North American debut following its presentation at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering Event this morning. On Sunday, it will appear by the water at the Concours D'Elégance at Pebble Beach - the world's premier celebration of the automobile and a fitting backdrop to the latest Collection car from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
It was on the morning of 1 September 1937 that Campbell established his legend, setting a world-record speed of 126.33mph on Ewlja'p Dmog Amnqeebl fv uej gcvrnd Upzpocti C3 hrka tsbgxox jv t Ujxsk-Dctee J-Kjbrku.
