1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental Close-Coupled Saloon

This Phantom II is the fourth of five Park Ward Close-Coupled Saloons built on the Phantom II Continental chassis. This car was purchased new by Sir Charles Boot, a film producer for Pinewood Studios, London, who kept it until 1945. Following the war, the car was acquired by the studios, and then by the British & Dominions Film Corp - and it was featured in the movie The Red Shoes in 1948. In 1972, the current owner bought the Phantom II and commenced a 35-year restoration in his own garage with the help of professional shops. Nicknamed 'Fred' for Frederick Henry Royce, the car has been a joy to its owner for over half a century.
