'For continental use only'
Mark Walker remembers: "We used to go on family holidays in this 1930 Rolls Royce Phantom II. This must have been taken in 1962, the car original and unrestored. Sitting between the dumbirons is my younger brother Tom Walker. Memories of the car are the distinctive smell of the fabric upholstery, the wind up glass partition, the sadly disconnected exhaust cut out lever on the floor marked "For continental use only", and waiting for the radiator to boil when stuck in a traffic jam in Kings Lynn.

My Father is David Hurrell! I have many fond memories of this car, although he never let me drive it!

The Rolls-Royce Phantom II can be identified by its UK licence number as a 1930 model, chassis 171GY with a Hooper limousine body. The most recent owner that I know of is David Hurrell in the UK. There is a nice picture of the car, in David's ownership, in the RREC Bulletin B215, page 13.
I once drove another 1930 P-II limousine. I found it to be a bit of a truck!
Cheers - John.
