This 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II is one of approximately 1,700 examples built on the final iteration of the 40/50 platform between 1929 and 1935. Chassis 182PY is a right-hand-drive example that wears Sedanca de Ville bodywork by Windovers of London, and it was purchased by the selling dealer as a non-running project out of a collection in Indiana in 2025. The car is finished in blue with a black fabric-covered rear roof, and power comes from a 7,668cc inline-six that features a crossflow detachable cylinder head with overhead valves, a single updraft carburetor, and dual coil and magneto ignition. Additional features include a four-speed manual transmission, mechanically actuated four-wheel drum brakes with servo assistance, 19” dark blue-painted wire wheels, a side-mount spare, and a retractable driver’s compartment roof panel. The front and rear cabins are trimmed in red leather with wood accents, and the closed passenger compartment features a tinted roll-down partition window, a Clayton heater, a pair of jump seats, dual vanities, and a pull-down rear armrest. Service performed under the selling dealer’s ownership included an oil change and cleaning the carburetor, throttle, and fuel and ignition systems. This Phantom II is now offered with spare parts and an Indiana title.

The Phantom II was introduced in 1929 as a higher-powered successor to the New Phantom and featured a redesigned chassis with semi-elliptical rear leaf springs that gave the platform a lower profile. Riding on a 150″ standard wheelbase, the Phantom II model was clothed in bodywork provided by the coachbuilder of a client’s choice.

This example is finished in blue with dark blue fenders and beltline trim. Equipment includes a chrome front bumper, thermostatically controlled radiator shutters, a Spirit of Ecstasy radiator mascot, rear-hinged front doors, a retractable front roof panel, and a black fabric-covered rear roof. The front passenger door window is cracked, the driver door rubs on the frame, and the selling dealer describes wear on the front roof panel. The trafficators are said to illuminate, and one does not deploy. Imperfections in the finish and loose trim can be seen in the gallery. 

Dark-blue-painted wire wheels feature bright knock-off hubs, and they are mounted with Lester whitewall bias-ply tires. A matching spare wheel with a flat tire is stowed under a dark blue hard cover in the passenger-side fender. Braking is actuated mechanically via drums at all four wheels and features assistance from a gearbox-driven servo.

The right-hand-drive chauffeur’s compartment features a split-bottom bench seat trimmed in red leather with color-matched carpeting and door panels. The four-spoke steering wheel has a cracked rim, and it fronts a wood dash panel that houses a 100-mph speedometer, an electric clock, and gauges monitoring amperage, fuel level, oil pressure, and water temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 54k miles, approximately 30 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

Two plaques mounted on the dash list the chassis number as 162SK, which corresponds to a 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II cabriolet, and notes that the car was previously owned by the Marquess of Queensberry.

The closed passenger compartment is trimmed in red leather over the rear bench seat as well as a pair of jump seats that fold out from the middle cowl. Color-coordinated upholstery extends to the door panels, and amenities include a tinted roll-down partition window, a Clayton heater, dual vanities, a pull-down rear armrest, and wooden door and cowl accents.

The 7.7-liter inline-six features two blocks housing three cylinders each topped by a shared crossflow aluminum overhead-valve cylinder head that was introduced for the Phantom II. Induction is through a single updraft carburetor, while ignition is handled by two spark plugs per cylinder with one set fired by a magneto and the other by a coil. Service performed in August 2025 included the installation of a replacement radiator cap, an oil change, and cleaning the carburetor, ignition and regulator points, and throttle linkages. The selling dealer notes leaks at the water pump and the base of the cylinder head.

Bolted directly to the crankcase on the Phantom II model, the four-speed manual transmission features a direct-drive top gear and sends power to the rear wheels via a Hotchkiss drive arrangement. Suspension incorporates solid axles, semi-elliptical leaf springs, and hydraulic shock absorbers. The fuel tank was flushed in August 2025. The fuel reserve valve leaks, and it has been bypassed by the selling dealer. Corrosion on the underside can be seen in the gallery.

The chassis tag is presented above, and the car is titled using its chassis number, 182PY.
