1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Sedanca DeVille

  • Coachwork by Hooper
  • Chassis Number: 125GY
  • Engine Number: GI-85
There were 1,672 examples of the Phantom II created worldwide during the Depression era years. Many have survived the test of time and many are still in excellent condition. This example is chassis number 125GY and rides on a long 150-inch chassis. It wears a custom Sedanca body built by Hooper and delivered to Spain. It cost a staggering $30,000 when new. It was delivered to the 'Stand' in Madrid, but later returned to England and purchased by the Rt. Hon. William H. Smith, the Viscounts Hambleden via W.H. Gull, esq.

This car is a right-hand drive example, speedometer in kilometers, louvered bonnet, one extra spare Dunlop wheel and tire mounted on the fender, Hooper 'sunshine roof mechanism,' division window, ebony woodwork, and silver plated interior fittings.

It has resided in a private museum in Ohio since 1966.

In 2008, this Custom Berline Limousine was offered for sale at the Hilton Head Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by Worldwide Auctioneers. It had an estimated value of $125,000 - $150,000. As the gavel fell for the third and final time, bidding had failed to satisfy the reserve and the lot was left unsold.
