1933 Phantom II
Barbara Hutton - Prince Mdivani Car
Continental Chassis 144 Inch WB
You are about to enter into an amazing part of Rolls Royce history. This Phantom II is featured in "The Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental" book by Raymond Gentile. He writes: "The first production chassis of the series was a Continental and quite a spectacular car. The car is a drophead (convertible) with the Aluminum instrument panel containing every conceivable instrument available at that time, including altimeter, tachometer, tapley meter, temperature gauge. The chassis card lists the original owners requirement for 13 1/2 degree louvres and a bonnet four inches longer than the standard (for a charge of L4 was made) Although painted in metallic colors today, it is nevertheless a very imposing motor car."
This famous Phantom belongs to a private collector who has decided to reduce his vehicle collection after over 40 years of owning some of the most outstanding cars known world wide. His collection included the Embiricos 540K Mercedes, The McCormick Duesenburg J Murphy Convertible Sedan, The Lady Docker DE-36 Hooper Drophead, a 1947 Bentley Franay Drophead. His vehicles have all been restored in his own facility by the same three craftsmen, with over 90 years of combined experience in restoring and maintaining classic cars. The Prince Mdivani Phantom II Drophead was built in 1933 at a cost of over $20,000.00. The Car was built for the prince and purchased by his wife, Barbara "The Million Dollar Baby" Hutton. She was the Granddaughter F.W. Woolworth's and the niece of E.F. Hutton. It was apparent to all that one day she would become one of the richest women in the world. She came into her inheritance at the age of 10. By the time she was 21 her inheritance had ballooned in excess of 50 million dollars. After she received the inheritance in 1933, she gave her father a 5 million dollar thank you gift. In her lifetime she had seven husbands including Prince Mdivani and Cary Grant.
We can also provide the records for the recent work on the car. The Phantom II has a super look and provenance. There are various stacks of service records,owner history, ship logs and service history.

Home of Rolls-Royce Collection makes debut at the Quail
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Rolls-Royce is marking 10 years of production at its Goodwood, England home, with the aptly named Home of Rolls-Royce Collection. The first instance of the Collection, a brilliantly appointed Phantom, has come to The Quail to make its world debut.
The goal of the Home of Rolls-Royce Collection seems to be to really showcase the kind of pristine, detailed work that the artisans back in Goodood are capable off, while creating a car that almost instantly achieves heirloom status. The Phantom seen here displays a truly impressive wood paneled cabin, where a technique called marquetry has been used to inlay some 170 sections of 11 different types of wood into a "celebration" motif.
You'll find a compass theme throughout the car as well - inside and out - which the company tells us is meant to highlight the sales of Goodwood-built Rollers on five continents across the world. Compass designs can be found on the armrests and center console, with each piece of embroidery taking more than 100,000 stitches to create. Not to be outdone in terms of time lavished, the compass motif painted on the exterior of the car takes one squirrel-hair-brush-wielding craftsman six hours to perfectly apply.
Former Princess Diana Rolls-Royce being auctioned for charity [w/video]
Wed, 31 Oct 2012While it isn't that uncommon to see cars belonging to celebrities and dignitaries roll across the auction block these days, this car is a little extra special. This particular 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was the car that Prince Charles and Princess Diana arrived at the White House in during a visit in 1985. As some added trivia, this was also the visit where Princess Di cut a rug with none other than John Travolta.
Volo Auto Museum will be auctioning off this piece of American and British history on November 9th - exactly 27 years from Princess Di's White House visit. According to the auction listing, this armored Silver Shadow was the official car of the UK's embassy, and it has been valued at around $2 million by the Berman Museum of History. The auction will have no reserve with some of the proceeds going to the Children with Cancer UK charity that Princess Diana started in 1988.
Scroll down for more information about this car and its auction as well as a video showing Prince Charles and Princess Diana arriving at the White House in the car back in 1985.
Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn adds class to the grass
Sun, 17 Aug 2014While Pebble Beach is traditionally thought of as the refuge of the pristine and pricey vintage vehicles of the world, there's no shortage of newer vehicles on display. And when we say "new," we mean really new. As in, not even in production new. This is the concept car lawn, and it's home to an eclectic group of vehicles from past and present.
Of course, calling it the "concept car lawn" is a bit of a misnomer this year (as it has been in previous years, too). Production models like the Alfa Romeo 4C were on display, alongside known quantities like the Hennessy Venom GT and modified versions of already-on-sale models, like the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Waterspeed Collection.
There were a few concepts on display, though. Toyota debuted the critically acclaimed FT-1 Concept in a new shade, while BMW's Beijing Motor Show stunner, the Vision Future Luxury, was also parked on the expensive grass. Also appearing were the Nissan GT-R in sheep's clothing, the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge, and the recently debuted McLaren P1 GTR.
