Rolls-Royce Phantom II The Phantom II replaced the New Phantom in Rolls-Royce's offerings in 1929. It shared the 7.7 L (7668 cc/467 in³) pushrod-OHV straight-6 engine from its predecessor, being the last large six-cylinder Rolls. The engine was unitary with a 4-speed manual transmission. Synchromesh was added on gears 3 and 4 in 1932 and on gear 2 in 1935. Semi-elliptical springs suspended the front and, in a change from its predecessor, the rear. 4-wheel servo-assisted brakes were also specified. 278 lighter Continental Phantom II's were also produced, including 125 left-hand drive versions. Rolls-Royce Wraith The Rolls-Royce Wraith was built from 1938-39. The Wraith featured an independent front suspension based on a Packard 120 and a cross-flow cylinder head, making it superior to it's predecessor, the 25/30 H.P. and on par with the Phantom III. The engine was a 4.3 liter inline-six and only 451 chassis were madSee less »
