in the hands of Hughes hire car<br />

1930 Phantom II 60GN Martin &<br />
King saloon in 1934 at the home<br />
of Cecil N. McKay shortly before<br />
it was taken to England. The design<br />
was identical to 186XJ. Note<br />
how the doors had top ventilators.<br />
These were later removed, either<br />
in Australia or England, and<br />
quarter windows substituted. The<br />
front wings were also modernised.<br />
Other curious features include the<br />
rear door handles at the very edge<br />
of the door and facing backwards,<br />
and the thin panel above the opening<br />
windscreen (to produce a pleasant<br />
windscreen shape?). (Courtesy<br />
