Phantom II Continental Sport Touring Saloon (United Kingdom, 1929)

The first MY-series Phantom II, chassis number 2MY, was built as a trials car and used by the factory for a decade. It was the first Phantom II to be fitted and tested with many innovative features that were to be later used throughout the entire Phantom II series. It was also the first Continental PII with a high-lift camshaft, heavy-duty exhaust valves, a high ratio rear axle, a crankshaft with balance weights, and cast-iron brake drums. Furthermore, it was the first to display the RR logo on the wheel hubs, an iconic badge that appears on Rolls-Royce radiator shells, gauges, etc., and the first with 11-degree bonnet louvers. A Rolls-Royce 20/25 radiator mascot was fitted, along with Lucas horns and brackets.
