A collector’s dream
The 1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Dover Sedan by Brewster & Co.
featured here is finished in stunning Dark Green with Masons Black
fenders. This particular Phantom II chassis was assembled in 1931
at the Rolls-Royce works in Derby for a Mrs. E.R.F. Johnson of
Moorestown, New Jersey. The stunning coach work was entrusted to
Brewster & Co. in New York who dressed the Rolls-Royce chassis with
body no. 7327; a four door Dover Sedan with a roll up partiton
window and integrated rear trunk. In 1982 the Phantom II was
acquired a respected Rolls-Royce and Bentley collector based in
Pennsylvania who performed a full mechanical and sympathetic
cosmetic restoration. During his 36 years of ownership, the
Rolls-Royce was meticulously maintained and saw only occasional use
at a vintage tour or Rolls-Royce Owner’s Club event. This example
was recently awarded a 1st place award during a RROC National Event
in 2010 (a testament to its condition and rarity). It presents
wonderfully today and displays only minor amounts of wear from
occasional use. This charming pre-war motorcar is accompanied by
over 30 years of receipts and invoices, its owner’s manual and
copies of the build documents which verify that this Phantom II is
still powered by its numbers matching engine. We are proud to offer
this stunning Rolls-Royce to the most particular investor,
collector or enthusiast who appreciates the driving experience that
can only come from a hand built, pre-war Rolls-Royce. Ready to make

HISTORY OF THE ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM II
The Rolls-Royce Phantom II was introduced as the successor to the
Phantom I in 1929 and was one of the last Rolls-Royce motorcars
developed under the tenure of Sir Henry Royce. The 7.7 litre
inline-6 cylinder engine from the Phantom I was further refined
with a cross flow cylinder head and the chassis featured
semi-elliptical leaf springs in the rear which allowed the
Rolls-Royce engineers to lower the stance of the car, thus
improving handling at higher speeds. The Phantom II chassis
continued to use the servo assisted brakes from the Phantom I in
addition to the central chassis lubrication system that was
standard on the Springfield assembled Phantom I. These improvements
helped to make the Phantom II one of the best driving motorcars of
the era and the Phantom II is still considered by many to be the
pinnacle pre-war Rolls-Royce. Only an approximate 1,402 Phantom II
chassis were built until 1936, and only 125 were delivered to the
United States with left-hand drive arrangement. While many American
Rolls-Royce clients opted for coachwork that was finished in
England, some discerning clients chose to enlist an American
coachbuilder to finish their Phantom II in a way that suited their
individual needs.
