The Rolls-Royce Phantom II was introduced in 1929, replacing the well-received “New Phantom” that had been introduced in 1925. Power came from an updated 7.7 liter pushrod-OHV straight 6 engine that now featured a new crossflow cylinder head. Although the engine was essentially carried over the chassis was all new for 1929 incorporating numerous new refinements to provide a smoother ride and better road manners. Most Phantom II's were delivered in the standard wheelbase length of 150 inches although a short wheelbase chassis of 144 inches was also available. The Phantom II sold very well and a total of 1281 chassis were built before the Phantom III replaced it in 1936.
This particular Rolls-Royce Phantom II, chassis number 21GY and engine number YK25 is a divided window limousine bodied by Windovers. It was delivered to the Windovers facility on 6/13/1930 and is built on the standard Long Type chassis of 150 inches. Not much is known about the early life of the car, however, it resided in California for a portion of its life before it was purchased by the current owner who is a prominent collector of sports cars and brass era cars in northern New Jersey. The car currently wears an older restoration, likely done between 25 and 30 years ago but remains in great shape throughout. A recent mechanical servicing was completed to bring the car up to excellent running and driving condition. This Phantom II limousine remains the perfect vehicle to utilize in Rolls-Royce club events or with a little polishing would make a superb touring car for vintage events. Offered with the vehicle are copies of factory build records.
