1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom II in Scottsdale, Arizona

The 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Shooting Brake by Radford, built on chassis No. 41WJ, was originally completed as a limousine, per the Rolls-Royce build records included with the car. It retains comprehensive documentation, factory records, restoration receipts and correspondence outlining its complete history from new. Sold new to Parisian owner Jean Groult, the car was later owned by an English sportsman in the 1940s, who commissioned Harold Radford Coach Builders Limited to restyle the car with period Shooting Brake coachwork. The vehicle subsequently passed into the ownership of Iranian industrialist M. R. Rafatjah, who also had ties to the Royal Garage, and was later shipped to Great Britain during the Iranian revolution, remaining there during and after its restoration as Rafatjah relocated to California. The restoration began under C&L Restorations of Cheshire, England, and was completed by David Scott-Moncrieff and Son, Limited of Leek, England, as a nut-and-bolt restoration finished approximately 45 years ago at an estimated combined cost of £50,000, equivalent to roughly $500,000 today. Records indicate Rafatjah later adopted the surname DuPont, with correspondence addressed to both names at the same residence, and he is believed to have retained the car until his passing in 2023. The vehicle has since been fully serviced and is offered with two complete sets of tires including the whitewall set currently installed and a new blackwall set. Additional documentation confirms the car's participation in various extended touring events, and it was driven as recently as December 2025 for photography.
