1930 Rolls Royce Phantom II Barker Saloon.

1930 Rolls Royce Phantom II Barker Saloon.

Chassis number: 176 GN
Registration number: SV 4151

An unusually tall grand imposing & upright Barker swept tail body that would more commonly be expected to be found on a Phantom III. The car indeed started life as a Hibbard & Darrin Sedanca the coachwork 10 years later being deemed to be old fashioned. the car was then sent to Barker who clothed in in the current body we find on the car today. The body has real presence eliciting admiring comments from all who see it.

The car has had extensive works undertaken to it during the last two decades by the enthusiast owner. This includes a full repaint to a very high standard in maroon & black. Various engine works have also been undertaken resulting in a powerful engine that starts readily & pulls extremely strongly. The most recent works just completed came to close to £10. 00 & were done by Marque specialists The Priory Vintage Car Company prior to the car being put up for sale with us.

The recent works included attention to the brakes. rewinding of the magneto. setting up of the engine & control linkages. fitment of shock absorbers etc etc etc the invoice is detailed & meticulous. As a result the car goes extremely well cruising at an indicated 60 mph with ease. Attention has been given to the steering which as a result is finger tip light & as good as on any phantom II I have had the pleasure of driving & giving the impression one is driving a far lighter smaller car.

The interior is Black leather up front. the seat base of which has been replaced with new hide. The rear compartment is almost totally original & remains a lovely place to spend time. Two tete a tete style occasional seats fold out of the bulkhead which contains a hand cranked division. The rear cloth seats are in good order as is the original Astrakahn style carpet rug.

The body is of Barkers' inimitable quality with solid door shuts & not a hint of movement to the timbers. The rear cabin is capacious with huge head room & a light airy feel. The rear of the car tapers off to an elegant swept back with a fold out luggage platform with provision for mounting of an external luggage trunk. A fitted case is extant in the revealed boot recess.
