1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II All Weather Touring
1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II All Weather Touring
This beautiful Rolls is the epitome of 1930’s stunning designs; the exclusive Hooper & co. coachwork is far from conservative.
The mile long hood combined with the dramatically raked, low windshield, window pillars and doors give it the appearance of speeding when it’s standing still! And with its astonishing 150” wheelbase she makes a biiiiig impression anywhere you would show her.
Coachwork by Hooper&co. which normally supplied more conservative bodies for British Royalty and captains of industry, but I have hardly seen any coachwork resembling the lines of this stunning car, and I immediately knew I had to become at least a temporary custodian of this masterpiece!
There’s nothing like standing in front of a car like this; it’s like looking at one of Holland America’s steamliners from the past coming straight at you!
A true symbol of prestige,individuality and engineering excellence, this car was ordered specifically with a “ Continental-type engine,including enhanced suspension components and extra shock absorbers,details that make her a uniquely sporting Rolls Royce.
Commisioned by wealthy New York fruit importer A.A.Hutchinson on October 19,1932 and with this unique Hooper&co. coachwork, the car received roll up windows ( with a very unique “ double window” in driverside door) and came with foldable, dissapearing window pillars and a folding topndesign that sits completely flush when stowed and the overall profile reminds one of some of the Brewster bodied “ Windblown” Phantom 1 or other avant-garde designs from American Coachbuilders like Rollston.
Following delivery to the U.S.,the car passed thru several prominent( ofcourse) owners including R.Clark Hadley and Arthue P.Bond, before a noted Rolls-Royce collector by the name of Edward Ardis was able to aqquire her and he started its resoration which continued through subsequent owners including Lawrence and Jane MacElree and later Knox Hershaw, who commissioned restorer Sam Rawlins to finish the work in 1990.
From that time on, this exquisite work of rolling art stayed in the Kershaw collection for more than 30 years untill just a few years ago.
Being a CCCA full classic,this example will be a welcome guest at any of their shows and tours, as well as the many RROC gatherings held around the Globe.
Still wearing its rich dark green livery and tan leather upholstery, this Phantom II starts up on a dime and remains mechanically sound and road ready, although the paint is now showing plenty signs of wear, it being a 35 year old restoration.
Ready for it’s next proud temporary custodian which can be you for only $230,000/ offers/trades
