The Phantom II, produced form 1929 through 1936, was the last Rolls-Royce designed under F. Henry Royce. A total of 1680 Phantom II's were produced and only about 280 were continentals.
The Phantom II Continental has received much attention and is featured in the Rolls-Royce Expert Raymond Gentile's book, "The Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental"
He writes: "The first production chassis of the series was a Continental and quite a spectacular car. The car is a drophead (convertible) with the Aluminum instrument panel containing every conceivable instrument available at that time, including altimeter, tachometer, tapley meter, temperature gauge. The chassis card lists the original owners requirement for 13 1/2 degree louvres and a bonnet four inches longer than the standard (for a charge of L4 was made) Although painted in metallic colors today, it is nevertheless a very imposing motor car."
This particular model is also famous for it's history.
The Prince Mdivani Phantom II Drophead was built in 1933 at a cost of over $20,000.00. The Car was built for the prince and purchased by his wife, Barbara "The Million Dollar Baby" Hutton. She was the Granddaughter F.W. Woolworth's and the niece of E.F. Hutton. It was apparent to all that one day she would become one of the richest women in the world. She came into her inheritanceat the age of 10. By the time she was 21 her inheritance had ballooned in excess of 50 million dollars. In her lifetime she had seven husbands including Prince Mdivani and Cary Grant.
This famous Phantom belongs to a private collector who has decided to reduce his vehicle collection, after over 40 of owning some of the most outstanding cars known. His collection included the Embiricos 540K Mercedes, The McCormick Du burg J Murphy Convertible Sedan, The Lady Docker DE-36 Hooper Drophead, a 1947 Bentley Franay Drophead. His vehicles have all been restored in his own facility by the same three craftsmen, with over 90 years of combined experience in restoring and maintaining classic cars.
