It was replaced by the Phantom I (also starred in a few films, though less renowned as Gosford Park) and was launched in 1929 and remained in production for six years and in 1935 was replaced by the Phantom III. In the history of this car was produced 1680 copies, of which 278 were the special ‘Continental’, made with a shorter and a tuned engine.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom II was a rear wheel drive car and was powered by a six-cylinder overhead valve, the same as the previous model, with a power of 108 hp at 2,300 rpm. It was mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The series Phantom of the English company has come down to the present day: it is now the seventh generation, with the introduction of the Coupe in 2008.
