Of the 1680 Phantom IIs, this is the only example that received coachwork from Figoni et Falaschi, one of the most sought after French design houses of the period. Known for their smooth, flowing designs, Figoni et Falaschi's Rolls was untypical of the stoat coachwork usually found on other Phantoms. The lines of the car, especially at the rear distinguish it, not only from any other Rolls-Royce, but from any other car.

The Prince of Nepal commissioned Figoni et Falaschi to create this unique example. His car was very elegant, and one that hides it enormous size. In fact, the Phantom II was the largest chassis Figoni had ever worked on!

To give you an idea of value, this car was once traded to Captain Frederick Henry for his Bugatti Royale! It was offered from the Blackhawk collection for $950 000 USD in 2002.
