In the best Rolls-Royce tradition, the model evolved over its production run, eventually spawning two two-door versions: The Phantom Drophead Coupé and, later, the Coupé with a fixed roof, both based upon the well-received 100EX concept vehicle of 2004. The latter was the first Rolls-Royce coupé produced by the factory in over two decades, and it shared the saloon’s potent 453-brake horsepower V-12, as well as its muscular styling and front-opening “coach doors.” While conventional handles for the doors were provided, they could be both opened and closed automatically, at the touch of a button—a truly extravagant feature. Considered by many to be the most elegant and desirable of the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII, the drophead coupé adds a touch of open-air sophistication to the already exceptional Phantom platform. While Rolls-Royces have traditionally been known as cars where the owner is driven, the drophead coupé is without doubt a car that the owner would want to drive themselves. It helped to blossom the Phantom line and without doubt gave way to other driver-focused automobiles bearing the Spirit of Ecstasy, including the Phantom coupé and the Dawn, the drophead coupé’s smaller cousin. In May 2012, Rolls-Royce announced the Series II, available from the 2013 model year, with exterior design updates by Andreas Thurner and a redesigned interior by Alan Sheppard. The Phantom Series II Drophead (convertible) remained based on the chassis of the Series I Drophead and the exterior design is virtually unchanged except for the new headlights, identical to the ones on the Series II Phantom Coupé. 2017 Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II Drophead LOT 229 More Details Lot 229 Bid On Lot 229 Estimate: $600,000 - $650,000
