This 1931 Rolls-Royce 40/50 HP Phantom II Sedanca DeVille wears coachwork by London-based firm of Thrupp & Maberly. It is believed that it was completed in November of 1931 and sold to first owner Sir Ronald Gunter - the English Baronet, privateer 'Bentley Boy' and Lagonda works driver at LeMans in 1934. This Sedanca DeVille is one of just six examples built in this particular style and has been given a professional restoration, completed in the spring of 2007.
The engine is an overhead-valve six-cylinder unit displacing 7668cc. There is a four-speed manual transmission and four-wheel power assisted drum brakes.
In 2009, this Super Eight was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Hershey presented by RM Auctions where it was estimated to sell for $160,000 - $180,000. The lot was sold for the sum of $176,000, including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2009
