From the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d Elegance Field guide.
“This Rolls-Royce was the 15th of 281 examples of the short-wheel-base Phantom II Continental created by Sir Henry Royce and his designer Ivan Evernden. Built to exude panache, this model could cruise easily at 70mph with a speedometer calibrated to 100 mph. This Phantom II (chassis 49GX) was purchased be Sir William Henry Peat at a cost of 1,850 pounds Sterling on May 22, 1931, and immediately delivered to H.J. Mulliner & Co. Ltd. in Chiswick, London, to receive this lightweight, flared-wing Weymann Sport Saloon Body, at a further cost of 640 pounds st and ten shillings. Sir Peat kept the car until 1956, when it changed hands and livery. Today the car joins us from India, sporting its original color-scheme.”
