Offered for sale is this very rare 1930 Rolls Royce Phantom II Sedanca. 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. The Phantom II used a refinement of the New Phantom's 7.7 L (7,668 cc or 467.9 cu in) pushrod OHV straight 6 engine with a new crossflow cylinder head. Unlike on previous 40/50 hp models, the engine was bolted directly to the 4-speed manual transmission. Power was transmitted to the rear wheels using an open driveshaft, a hypoid bevel final drive, and Hotchkiss Drive, replacing the torque tube from a remotely mounted gearbox used on earlier 40/50 hp models. The chassis of the Phantom II was completely new. The front axle was mounted on semi-elliptical leaf springs as on earlier 40/50 hp models, but the rear axle was now also mounted on semi-elliptical springs instead of cantilever springs. This, along with the drivetrain changes, allowed the frame to be lower than before, improving the handling. The 4-wheel servo-assisted brakes from the Phantom I were continued, and the Bijur centralized lubrication system from the Springfield-built Phantom I was included on all Phantom II chassis. A total of 1,681 Phantom II chassis of all types were built.
This particular Phantom II is in running condition and was just serviced. All systems are fully functional on this vehicle. The Rolls starts up cold with no issues and makes great power. The Braking system works fantastically as well. This chassis was originally a 2 door Continental version of the PII but was rebodied with this Sedanca body in the 1970’s in England. The body is a Paris Henry Binder body. This is a great candidate for a full restoration or can be enjoyed regularly as is.
