The sumptuously beautiful Phantom II was an update of the classic Phantom I. The new car featured intelligent and cutting-edge innovations, such as an integral engine-gearbox unit, and semi- elliptic rear springs. Fit and finish, naturally, were to the highest Rolls-Royce standards, providing the Phantom II with a captivating beauty and inimitable style. Built at Derby in the UK until 1935, the Phantom II represented the absolute peak of automobile performance, achieving speeds of 90 mph and an efficiency of up to tenmiles to the US gallon. A small number of ‘Continental’ version cars, with a shorter wheelbase and stiffer springs, were created to maximise speed. The iconic car has featured in the films The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, allowing modern-day viewers the chance to admire the Phantom II’s awesome appearance and majestic aura. Real class never ages. For more information on Rolls Royce please visit: http://www.rolls-roycemotorcars.com Majestic appeal: Rolls Royce PhantomII (1933)
