This does not look big enough to be a Phantom 2 so it must be a 20/25. Local coachwork? |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_20/25 or if not a 20/25.. Might it be this: Royce had body designer Ivan Evernden build him a one-off short-wheelbase Phantom.[1][6] Designated 26EX,[1] the car had a tuned engine,[6] five-leaf springs that were stiffer than standard[1] and a Barker four-seat lightweight close-coupled saloon body painted with an artificial pearl lacquer made from ground herring scales.[1][6] The sales department initially showed no interest in 26EX but, when Evernden returned to the office from the 1930 Biarritz Grand Concours d'Elegance, where 26EX had won the Grand Prix d'Honneur, he found that the sales department had already announced the new "Phantom II Continental Saloon", prepared a brochure for it, and costed it.[1] According to Evernden, neither he, Royce, nor the Rolls-Royce sales department had written specifications for the "Continental" model, although he and Royce had a clear specification in mind. Based on Evernden's writings and examination of company records, historian Ray Gentile determined that the common specifications of the Continental chassis were the short wheelbase and stiffer, five-leaf springs. By this definition,[1] two hundred and eighty-one Continental Phantom II's were produced,[1][5] including 125 left-hand drive versions.[5] -- Last edit: 2014-03-19 02:56:12 |

My point is merely that if a 1934 Royce isn't a Phantom II in which I include the Continental variant, then the only other model available is the 20/25. Do you think that there would be enough room for a 7.7 litre straight six between the radiator and the scuttle? The first link shows a Thrupp and Maberly 20/25, the second link a Hooper PII Continental, and the third a PII saloon by Mulliner. http://www.coachbuild.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=46883 http://www.classic-auctions.com/Images/Report/137C/48879b.jpg Link to "www.telegraph.co.uk" -- Last edit: 2014-03-19 18:46:39 |

When I first looked at the pic last night, the Continental looked similar to vehicle in question. But no I agree, 7.7L wouldn't be able to be squeezed under the bonnet. Was just offering a possible alternative if it is not a 20/25 -- Last edit: 2014-03-19 13:02:05 |

It looks as if they took the length out of the Phantom chassis from behind the scuttle to make the Continental. I'm still not totally sure due to the angle of the picture, but it looks 20/25 to me. |
