On Sunday afternoon July 29th 2007 Rushden Museum was rewarding Leann Howell with her prize for the nearest answer in a “guess the mileage” competition held the previous week at the “Party in the Park” weekend. The current exhibition main theme is John White and the shoe company he founded. The Phantom 3 built in 1948 was one of three Rolls Royce motor cars that John White had owned, and its current owner, Mr Halgrove, took Leann for a ride around the town. The car is still in almost original condition and has the original leather luggage in the boot. |

| Also visiting the Museum on the same day was Mick Hollowell with his own Rolls Royce. Mick had driven the Phantom 3 regularly when he was chauffeur to John White. He recalled that all the company directors would line up their cars on Fridays to be cleaned and filled with petrol, if he was not required to chauffeur. |
