Selling a Rolls Royce Phantom II

 

If the “New Phantom” was a small step from the Silver Ghost, the Rolls Royce Phantom II was the giant leap that followed it. Just one of many improvements over its predecessor, th 7.7 liter engine was supplemented with crossflow cylinder head bringing the Phantom II’s performance into another space entirely. The Chassis was brand new and the workmanship managed to surpass even previous, very high standard of quality. More impressively, Rolls Royce was taking this vehicle above and beyond while the world economy was on the verge of disaster. Mind-bogglingly, there was an even more polished option in the “Continental Model” which was based off of a design Henry Royce himself had custom ordered with a specially tuned engine and a lacquered pearl finish. Dubbed the 26EX, it won the 1930 Grand Prix d’Honneur in Biarritz, France convincing the management at Rolls Royce Limited that it had promise in the wider market.

Rolls Royce Phantom II Seller’s Guide

 

When selling a Rolls Royce Phantom II, certain considerations ought to be made to clear things up for both the prospective buyer and yourself. First make sure that the car in question is a Phantom II and not a Phantom I. This is easily accomplishable by checking the date codes on the vehicle and making sure they fall between 1929 and 1936. Secondly—certainly more important if you’re looking to make a profit—the “continental” model of the Phantom II is of far greater value than the standard. A dead giveaway that you’re looking at a Continental Phantom II will be the spare wheels mounted in the front fender wheels rather than the back, along with a shorter wheelbase and stiffer five leaf springs.

Surely if you do have a Continental, buyers will be beating down your door, but you can’t be sure until you get a professional opinion.
