Ebony and Dove Grey Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental LWB

This superb 1935 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental long wheelbase is one of only ten that were made and at a cost of £2,850, that was the equivalent of eight detached houses at the time. Nowadays the cars value is increasing rapidly and at the last valuation it exceeded a quarter of a million pounds.

The sleek and flowing bodywork is by Barker, one of the eras most prolific and famous coach builders and one of Sir Henry Royce’s favourites. The Phantom has coachwork finished in elegant dove grey and black ebony which perfectly adds contrast to an Ivory or White wedding gown.  Due to the car being a long wheelbase it has a very spacious interior and is trimmed in a beautiful Burgundy Connolly leather hide and Burgundy Wilton carpeting with drop down Burr Walnut cocktail tables, just perfect for a glass of chilled champagne to be placed upon !

There is a very large sunroof which lets in plenty of light without causing drafts in the cabin, and there is also a spacious boot to carry a picnic hamper and ice box for a special occasion.  This car is a real star and has just had completed a £130,000 restoration and now has to be among the best ‘top quality’ cars available for wedding hire in the UK today.

You are more than welcome to view the car before booking and a private appointment can be made to suit, this of course is the only way to appreciate this engineering masterpiece. A simply stunning piece of British automotive history, and talking history for those that appreciate a wee dram you may be interested to know this car was originally built for Sir George Macpherson-Grant the owner of Grant’s Whiskey company.
