Captain Campbell’s Continental

1933 Rolls Royce Phantom II Continental, registration 711 YUG - Captain Sir Malcolm Campbell

Rolls-Royce originally owned by world record for speed on land and water holder Captain Sir Malcolm Campbell for sale

 

Captain Sir Malcolm Campbell was a rare breed in that he was one of the few land speed record holders of his era to die of natural causes. Famed for racing cars named Bluebird, this racing legend and motoring journalist also owned a specially built 1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental with touring coachwork by Barker and now it is for sale for £220,000 ($326,000, €298,000).

The interior of the car is presented in immaculate condition

 

Described in an article by Sir Malcolm as “the best Rolls-Royce yet”, the car allegedly was subsequently gifted by his family to the Royal Air Force and then spent time in America. It has been restored at lavish cost over a three-year period and has a new blue leather interior and metallic Saxe Blue paintwork.

 

The car is for sale through Richard Biddulph of Vintage & Prestige Fine Motor Cars in Grays, Essex.
