The carriage of this very elegant classic car was built by Barker, London, in 1934. The proud first owner was Sir Edmund Frank Crane, joint tenant of the Hercules bicycle factories at Birmingham.
Phantom II adopted its engine (an inline-6cylinders OHV engine of 7668cm³) from its antecessor. It was the very last Rolls Royce having an engine of six cylinders. The engine´s power was transferred to the back wheels by a manuel, unsynchronized four-speed-transmission. The second as well as the fourth gear had already been synchronized in 1934 but the first and the second gear still require double-clutch action.
