Information

Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental, year 1931. Colour black with a cognac brown leather interior and brown wool carpet. This very special and rare Phantom II with 'short chassis' features an extremely beautiful Barker 'Close-Coupled Sports Saloon' bodywork. This automobile was on show at the 1931 Brussels auto show in December of that year. In January 1932 the Phantom II was sold to Clive Nuttall from Hamble, Hampshire, England. Then the automobile found a new owner in the United States of America. After sitting in a collection for years the Rolls-Royce was sold to England again. The automobile was fully restored to original specifications. This Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental is being described in the book 'Definitive book Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental' by Raymond Gentile.
This is a very intriguing and very scarce Rolls-Royce with exotic Barker bodywork.
