Rolls-Royce Phantom II

Rolls-Royce does not build many cars like the Rolls-Royce Phantom II with 7668&nbsp, built from 1929 to 1935 the vintage years, when coachbuilders still shaped most of what was sold.

How it came about

The Rolls-Royce Phantom II was the third and last of Rolls-Royce's 40/50 hp models, replacing the New Phantom in 1929. It used an improved version of the New Phantom engine in an all-new chassis. A "Continental" version, with a short wheelbase and stiffer springs, was offered.

The hardware

Under the skin sits 7668&nbsp. The gearbox is a 4-speed manual. The wheelbase is 144 in (3658 mm) / 150 in (3810 mm). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Family and rivals

Where it sits in Rolls-Royce's history is not in doubt: the Phantom I came before it; the Phantom III followed it; it was built at Derby, England, United Kingdom. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Peugeot 201, the Lancia Lambda torpedo, the Mercedes-Benz W10. Its Rolls-Royce stablemates include the Rolls-Royce 100EX and the Rolls-Royce 102EX.

The money

There is no federal ownership record for the Rolls-Royce Phantom II — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
