1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II

Imagine arriving at your event in this 1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II. This custom-built Rolls has been fully restored to the highest standards and was a first place winner at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The great depression had already begun when this car was ordered from New York Roll-Royce dealer, J.S. Inskip & Co. The stock market had collapsed, businesses had failed and unemployment was at 25%. Even during these “dark days” a few of the very wealthy could afford to order a such a car. The first owner was Mr. F.F. Brewster a wealthy Connecticut industrialist, philanthropist and yachtsman. This PII features a Hibbard & Darrin Transformable body on a left hand drive export chassis. It took Rolls-Royce over two years to hand build the chassis and In today’s dollars, the cost new was nearly $400,000. This unusual combination of body and chassis makes this rare car a one-of-a-kind.
