- Sultan: "Rolls-Royce Phantom Two. 4.3 litre, 30 horsepower, six cylinder engine, with Stromberg Downdraft carburetor. Can go from zero to 100 kilometers an hour in 12.5 seconds. And I even like the color."
- Donovan: "The keys are in the ignition, Your Highness."
- ―Sultan of Hatay and Walter Donovan
A Nazi Rolls-Royce Phantom II staff car was used by Walter Donovan in Hatay. When offered "suitable compensation" for removing the Holy Grail from within Hatay's borders, the Sultan balked at the chest of gold valuables and instead expressed interest in Donovan's Rolls-Royce, adding that he even liked the color. Donovan, willing to give up his car if it meant obtaining the Grail, politely told the Sultan the keys were in the ignition.
In return for the prize automobile, the Sultan promised to provide provisions and troops for the expedition to recover the Grail, including camels, horses, and tanks.
Behind the scenes
- The car used for filming was not a Phantom II, but a Rolls-Royce 20/25 h.p. Barker Saloon.
