For over 100 years, Rolls-Royce automobiles have been described by superlatives. Elegant. Royal. Beautiful. Handsome. Quiet. Reliable. Flamboyant. Obviously all may represent what has been called the finest cars ever made. Preceded by the “New Phantom” known as the Phantom I, Rolls-Royce introduced the Phantom II in 1929 and continued their manufacture through 1935. The P II differed from its predecessor by a new chassis, with a lower frame, semielliptic springs all around that gave the PII a much lower look. Mechanical improvements were many. The P II was considered by many to be the best looking Rolls-Royce ever built. In seven years, a total of 1,767 P II cars were made, an average of only 252 each year, including the Continental models. In those years, Rolls-Royce built the rolling chassis, and buyers would commission a coach builder to manufacture a body. Hooper was among the notable coachbuilders of the time, having started in building horse-drawn carriages. 143 GN is one of only 1,767 Phantom II automobiles ever built, and the only one with this Hooper all-weather touring body. Count Bon de Sousa first considered having a saloon body built for 143 GN by Barclay, also a renowned coachbuilder, before commissioning Hooper to build their design for an all-weather tourer. The car was built for U.K. and Continental driving; Rolls did not use the term Continental to describe a car with specific characteristics to qualify as a “Continental” until the following year, 1931. I present a sportingly elegant Rolls-Royce all-weather touring car for your consideration, knowing that the thoughtful purchaser will acquire a rare car, authentically restored to its original factory specifications, and well maintained for over 35 years by me, its present owner.
