The Phantom II Continental was aimed at the sporting buyer of Rolls-Royce motor cars; it was created for those individuals who wanted to motor across the continent in the grand manner - in a car with increased performance and stiffer handling. The Hooper coachwork company of London was responsible for this particular four-seat sports coupe. Its first owner was a navy captain who intended to drive himself, but he specified Port and Starboard bar fittings in red and green velvet for the passengers in the rear. Other interesting features are the advanced 'semaphore-style trafficators,' extra driving lights and an integral trunk, which was unusual for the period.
