MAKE & MODELS OVERIVIEW

Inarguably one of the most sought-after designs on the Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental chassis is Chelsea coachbuilder J. Gurney Nutting’s “Owen” drophead sedanca coupe, carrying the name of the important London dealer who was purportedly involved in its creation. The lines of this body were beyond compare, including an extremely long hoodline, a sweeping curved beltline molding, flowing open fenders, and a relatively short stern carrying the signature Gurney Nutting trunk and rear-mounted spares. The Owen drophead sedanca coupe would, in time, rightfully come to be considered the quintessential Phantom II Continental, best representing the chassis’ balanced combination of performance and elegance.
