Vintage and Prestige Fine Motor Cars are proud to be offering this 1933 Rolls Royce Phantom II Continental Sports Saloon for sale. This Rolls Royce was delivered to the first owner, John Sutcliffe-Pyman at his home on the Norsebury Estate in Hampshire. Sutcliffe-Pyman (a scion of the Pyman shipping family) was an early motorist who was first noted in connection with vehicles as early as 1907.
A rare and desirable much sought after Rolls Royce Continental model. This 1933 Rolls Royce Phantom II comes from the collection of the late Sir James Cayzer Bart, a man known for his extensive Rolls Royce collection and his fastidious ‘no expense spared’ approach to their maintenance. The 1933 Rolls Royce Phantom II comes with over £40,000 of recent bills from the last seven years including fitment of overdrive and a new cylinder head. With the overdrive fitted and already long gearing, the 1933 Rolls Royce Phantom II runs effortlessly at 70 to 80mph in modern traffic.
The braking system has been completely overhauled giving a pin sharp feeling to the pedal and making the driver believe he/she could be in a far more modern car. Likewise, the suspension is supple with the steering being both precise and direct. We recently drove the Rolls Royce 250 miles and can attest to the wonderful running order it is in needing no additional work.
Coachwork is a particularly low slung and rakish design by Park Ward. Continental cues include angled louvers down the bonnet sides extending to the scuttle. The spare is side mounted on the driver’s side running board. A capacious boot hinges open at the rear. The interior is brown leather for the seating surfaces extending to the door cards. The leather was specified to be of furniture grade. The seating is in superb condition with just the right amount of patina to take the "new" feel off it. Headlining and woodwork is all excellent. This 1933 Rolls Royce Phantom II is in really magnificent condition with but the best part being is the driving experience. It has recently returned to us from a sojourn in Sweden where it resided in a collection amongst other splendid cars.

About Rolls-Royce
Well, ladies and gentlemen, today we're diving into the illustrious history of a brand that has always embodied the very essence of British luxury and craftsmanship - Rolls-Royce.Our story begins at the turn of the 20th century when two visionaries, Charles Rolls and Henry Royce, decided to join forces. In 1904, the very first Rolls-Royce was born, the Rolls-Royce 10 hp. It was a modest start for a company that would go on to redefine automotive excellence.
But it wasn't until 1907 that Rolls-Royce truly made its mark with the introduction of the Silver Ghost. It was hailed as the "Best Car in the World" and set the gold standard for luxury motoring. With its whisper-quiet engine and exquisite craftsmanship, it was a statement of opulence and refinement.
The 1920s brought us the Rolls-Royce Phantom I, an icon of its time. It was the first Rolls-Royce to feature a 6-cylinder engine and set the stage for the legendary Phantom line. This was the era when the Maharajas of India commissioned custom-bodied Rolls-Royces that were nothing short of automotive palaces.
Fast forward to the post-war years, and we have the Silver Cloud, a symbol of post-war British optimism. The Silver Cloud was elegance personified, with its flowing lines and handcrafted interiors. It was the choice of royalty, celebrities, and captains of industry.
But if we're talking about the epitome of Rolls-Royce luxury, it's the Rolls-Royce Phantom VI, which graced us with its presence from 1968 to 1991. This was a car that made the statement that "if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it." Customization was the name of the game, and the Phantom VI was a canvas for the world's wealthiest to express their unique tastes.
Now, it's impossible to discuss Rolls-Royce without mentioning the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Produced from 1971 to 1995, it was a convertible and coupe version of the Silver Shadow. The Corniche was the quintessential grand tourer, a car for those who wished to traverse continents in absolute luxury.
But, alas, even the mightiest must face their decline, and Rolls-Royce was no exception. The company went through financial turmoil in the 1970s and 80s, leading to the takeover by Vickers plc. Then came the controversial BMW and Volkswagen ownership period, which divided enthusiasts.
Rolls-Royce regained its footing under BMW ownership, and the new millennium brought us the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII, a return to the company's roots of uncompromising luxury. The Phantom VII was a testament to British engineering and craftsmanship.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, brings us to today. Rolls-Royce continues to produce some of the most opulent, bespoke vehicles on the planet, a symbol of British imperiousness that has not waned with time. The spirit of Sir Henry Royce and Charles Rolls lives on in every car that bears the Spirit of Ecstasy, a testament to the enduring legacy of British automotive excellence.
