- Henry Royce passed away in 1933, making the Rolls-Royce Phantom II the last model he ever designed. The Phantom II was introduced in September of 1929 and served as a replacement for the New Phantom, which would later become known as the Phantom I. The Rolls-Royce Phantom II was the third and last of Rolls-Royce's large 6-cylinder prewar models, and the second of generation of the longest running model in automotive history, which is still made today as a Phantom VIII. Just 1,680 Phantom II’s were produced. Only the chassis and mechanical parts were made by Rolls-Royce. The body was made and fitted by a coachbuilder selected by the owner. The Phantom II provided a platform for some of the most beautiful designs of the day, and this long-wheelbase chassis wears stylish coachwork by the London-based firm of Thrupp & Maberly. In 2001, this car received a total body-off restoration including chassis, body, interior and mechanicals, and has a unique feature of a rear compartment trimmed in silk.
Nothing quite like a Phantom II - the best Rolls-Royce ever built.
Old world craftsmanship. What a rare treat to enjoy such a beautiful piece of history. Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous Royce!
I had a 1936 Sedanca de Ville and a 1937 Phantom III for my wedding cars back in the early '70s.
Fabulous
Beautiful proportions its so pleasing to the eye loved watching your video of it driving along.
Magnificent. Interior , exterior ( maybe under the bonnet) in the future. A true delight. The cantilevered windscreen a memory from my childhood of our 1934 Bentley.
Gorgeous car all around. Love the new interior leather work
What a magnificent beast! Excellent video too, gave a real feel of what it would be like driving it.
Thanks a ton!
Love the music. Imagine back in 1933 if you could afford this. My goodness. An utterly superb vehicle and real quality that lasts. A car not just for life but all your descendants!! From a whole of life energy foot print I bet that this has a lot lower whole of life carbon foot print than almost any modern vehicle?
IDK. It gets about 8 MPG
A Texas beauty, rolling through the Hill Country! That is one splendid sight, but am keeping my '83 Mercedes 300D turbo diesel... 😉
Your car will last forever!
Love those Mercedes diesels,
Mmmm, riding around with you, in this car has been so much fun all day (since breakfast)! Mmmm, with the music and a glass of champagne, it's sheer heaven! Thank you, thank you, thank you! This video (with that long hood & the Spirit of Ecstasy), is just what I've been looking for! James, you're a treasure, a real treasure. ~James 🌠
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful
Lovely video James. Looks magnificent. I wish i could remember the book from my youth of the history of Rolls and Royce. I will try and track it down.
Excellent job - was hoping you'd do a full tour one of these days
Thank you! I’ll do the Silver Ghost soon
King of the road!
Lovely car it’s a beauty.
I love the view over the bonnet and the spirit of ecstacy. I ffel like I am in the car. Thankyou so much. Beautiful.
Very nice! Thank you.
Words would have been really cool
I intend to try a long video with explanations about the cars
The idea of luxury way back then is a bit puzzling. Other than style, even the cheapest modern car can outdo these marvels of engineering.
I don’t agree. I would rather be in the back of this than anything, even a modern RR
I'm curious, is that you, James, driving this car?
Well, I guessed it right. This video appears to be indeed, filmed in Texas. I was watching and wondering where we might be. I put two & two together and came up with an educated guess of Texas, I considered the topography of the land, the vegetation and the miserable gray sky. I had thought, that perhaps, it was somewhere around Marin County wine country, in California, but that awful, gray sky told me, it must be one of those miserably, hellish, hot & humid, cloudy, muggy & buggy "Devil red" states, of the south. Sure enough, I discovered that Austin was listed as the location. Isn't that interesting? Sometimes, my insight amazes me.
Nice shirt ..
Ha! Ha! 😂
Now that’s CHURCH‼️ ⛪️
mAGNIFICENT--IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS IN vERMONT WHERE I LIVE--ISIT///????
Texas
Yet another car video that needs to have the sound editor sent out and given something useful to do, like scrubbing garbage pails. Music should NEVER be played at any point the engine is running. Not at the very beginning, not at the 1:40 point, not a tiny underlying layer - *never.* Car lovers tune into these channels for the cars, not music editing. The sound of a classic engine running is the best music, hands down. I really wanted to hear the sound of the idle on the exterior shots at the end.
OK. Please check today's post on my Silver Shadow II and I did not put music where the engine is running, following your feedback. I even added an engine idling shot for you. But Rolls-Royces are dead quiet. You'll want to hear the engines when I post of my Ferrari. That's for sure.
@@LWVH81 Thanks. Yes, with the Rolls I wanted to hear how much I couldn't hear. :)
Hope I didn't unload on you too much. As you probably noticed this has bugged me from many different car videos.
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .
Talk about driving a 'boat'!
🙂👍Sweeeeeeeet
👍💪✍️
what kind of speakers you got in there?
There is no sound system in this car. Car radios were invented in 1930 but weren’t prolific until much later. There was some arguments about them distracting drivers!
@@LWVH81 yes i was joking haha
I think I saw RR or Bentley from 1933 with a radio already
What acts of merit a person must’ve done in this or past lives to own a RR car?
carefull driving.
Sorry to me that’s what a RR is supposed to look like!
wtf
Nos mintieron durante años, los motores Rolls Royce no son silenciosos.
Sea mas honestos en su publicidad.
The best car rolling in one of the TWO best American states ( the other being Florida, of course !) , away from liberal idiots who hate cars .
