Henry Royce had body designer Ivan Evernden design him a one off short wheelbase Phantom II, designated 26EX, which won the Grand Prix d'Honneur at the 1930 Biarritz Grand Concours d'Elegance. When Evernden returned to the office he found the sales department had already announced the new Phantom II Continental Saloon. 281 Continental Phantom IIs were produced, including 125 left hand drive versions.
