1931 marked a watershed year for Rolls-Royce. Sales of Springfield Phantoms fell so precipitously that production of Phantoms at the factory in Springfield, Massachusetts ceased. Consequently, the chassis for the Phantom II on display was manufactured in England and exported to the United States where it was fitted with a Brewster Savoy Town Car body.
The Phantom II was a completely redesigned vehicle and had very little in common with its predecessor, the Phantom I. The Phantom II was equipped with a straight 6, 43.4 hp, 7668cc aluminum head engine capable of acceleration from zero-to-sixty in 19.6 seconds. The engine was unitary with a four-speed manual transmission. Semi-elliptical springs suspended the front and, in a change from its predecessor, four-wheel servo-assisted brakes were also specified.
This Phantom II was offered by its original owner during the depths of the Great Depression. Given the fact that thousands of Americans were in bread lines, this vehicle proves that not everyone was destitute. The coachwork is quite luxurious, and features a liquor cabinet. The passenger compartment, center cabinet and inside door panels are trimmed in burled walnut.
Fred Buess and Harry Nicks collaborated in a complete frame-off restoration of 212AJS that was started in August, 2003 and completed in February, 2007.
