Why it matters
The Phantom II succeeded the Phantom I in 1929 and is reputedly the last model Henry Royce designed himself. It introduced a new chassis layout over the Phantom I. It was built only at Derby.

History
Introduced in 1929, the Phantom II replaced the torque-tube drive and cantilever rear springing of the Phantom I. It used an integral engine-gearbox unit, Hotchkiss drive and semi-elliptic rear springs on a steel channel frame with tubular cross-members.
The car was built only at Derby and continued into 1935. A small number of left-hand-drive chassis were exported to the USA in 1931-1933, and these are the only left-hand-drive Phantom IIs.
From 1931 a specially tuned Continental version was offered, first built on a twelve-foot wheelbase chassis.
