    1932 Rolls-Royce Phantom IIThis Phantom II Sedanca de Ville with coachwork by Barker was ordered by the distinguished French actress Marie Bell, also known as Marie-Jeanne Bellon-Downey. It includes special features such as an extended bonnet that reaches to the windshield and a commodious trunk with fitted luggage and hatbox. When not in use, the trunk can be removed and the luggage rack folded. Other special features include a speedometer calibrated in kilometers, tubular style bumpers and center-mounted driving light.

    The car has remained in mostly original condition since new, receiving repairs and minor restoration as needed.

    Power is from a 7668cc overhead valve six-cylinder engine fitted with Rolls-Royce Two-Jet carburetor producing 120 horsepower. There is a four-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel servo-assisted drum brakes.

    In 2010, this Rolls-Royce was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. The car was estimated to sell for $75,000 - $100,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the lot had been sold for the sum of $77,000, inclusive of buyer's premium.
