7007 WA is now on a Jeep.

7007 WA was Sheffield, Oct 60 - July 61. This high boot notchback seems to be Park Ward [design 980], often used on early P5s so odd that this one has later 4 headlight front.

"Among the scarcest bodies for the Phantom V were those built by Park Ward, which in 1961 was merged with H.J. Mulliner under Rolls-Royce auspices, becoming Mulliner Park Ward. Thus, only the earliest Phantom Vs were bodied by Park Ward independently, some to their very attractive body design 980, a “notchback” limousine.". Post-merger Mulliner Park Ward body seems to have been more common as the Touring Limousine with a smoother profile, alongside the even smoother James Young Touring Limousine.

Firstly the acknowledgement.

Secondly, a decent picture, showing a Park Ward 980 design in full, taken from the book above acknowledged.

“This body.......went on to become the “standard” Phantom V limousine design from the merged MPW division, and later became the basis of the “standard” design for the Phantom VI as well.”

Therefore, I think that the numberplate could be a mare’s nest, and the car could be a MPW Phantom VI.

PW bodied 132 Phantom V
MPW bodied 112 Phantom V
and 366 Phantom VI.

James Taylor says he has segregated the PW from MPW design #980 in a different way from other writers so his numbers may differ.
These qties include all design types, not just #980.

Top photograph, right hand page, the same design with quad headlights, fitted to both PV and PVI chassis.

How is this identification justified?

As I see it, the plate cannot be used for dating the car, which could be either PV, or PVI.
