At the 1930 London Auto Show, a two-passenger Phantom II was exhibited with an exceptional sporting torpedo body. Soon after, New Yorker Andre Mertzanoff, chief engineer at the American Radiator Company, ordered a Barker Torpedo Sports for this Phantom II. The nautical-themed design featured sweeping pontoon-style front fenders and a superbly finished hardwood rear deck, reminiscent of a speedboat. The svelt doorhandles incorporated lights, echoing port and starboard markers on a yacht. Research suggests that Mertzanoff never took delivery of the car; instead, it was acquired by Gulab Singh, the Maharaja of Rewa, a devoted Rolls-Royce client. Powered by the 7668cc inline 6-cylinder engine, producing 120 horsepower, the Phantom could cruise at 87 mph and is thought to have topped 94 mph. This magnificent Rolls-Royce has spent decades in the celebrated collections of Vojta Mashek, Dr. Samuel Scher, Don Williams, and Blackhawk.
