Beginning in 1911, Rolls-Royce vehicles featured a hood ornament that would provide Rolls-Royce with another trade mark in addition to the famous grill design: the Spirit of Ecstasy. From 1929 to 1935, Rolls-Royce produced the Phantom II. Like its predecessor, it possessed a six-cylinder petrol engine featuring 7, 668 liters of cubic capacity, top-positioned valves, & a removable cylinder head that ran very quietly, as usual, but which now featured an output of 120 bhp. The high-performance model of this over 5.5 meter long vehicle, which was the most luxurious of its time, was the so-called Continental, which featured stiffer suspension & a wheelbase of 3.7 meters. The design of the Continental body was intended to look much sportier than its predecessor. This automobile was designed so that the owner could drive it himself, without a chauffer. 281 copies of the Phantom II Continental left the workshop in Derby, & most of these were right-hand drive. As was common during its time, Rolls-Royce only delivered the motorised chassis; the body would be finished by a specialist company.
