• The only one of 280 Continental PIIs bodied by Carlton • Fully documented, numbers-matching drivetrain • Displayed at the Petersen Museum’s Rolls-Royce exhibit in Los Angeles The Phantom II was the last Rolls-Royce model designed by Sir Frederick Henry Royce before his death in 1933.
Of 1,767 examples built between 1929 and 1935, 280 were “Continental” chassis.
Royce wanted the Continental to be as lithe as possible yet still comfortably accept its driver, passengers, and luggage while touring the continent of Europe.
Developed from the standard Phantom II short chassis model, the Continental had an especially low steering column, low centre of gravity, and special springs to permit safe and continuous high speed touring over any road surface.
