Rolls Royce's one-off Phantom Drophead

Bespoke, handbuilt convertible gets array of upgrades

Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe

28th June 2011

Take a look at one of the most exclusive Rolls Royces ever. This Phantom Drophead Coupe is a handbuilt one-off machine designed to offer 'the perfect weekend get-away' and 'the ultimate in luxury and relaxation', so says the Goodwood-based firm.

It will be displayed at the Masterpiece London fair – a show for the world's most exclusive brands held at The Royal Hospital Chelsea. Painted a unique Marzarine Blue colour, the Phantom Drophead coupe gets unique details such as teak decking and engraved tread plates.

Inside, the natural-grain leather interior comes in Seashell with Navy Blue contrast for floor and door panels with embroidered R-R logos in the headrests.  There are also mother-of-pearl inlays throughout cross-banded wood veneers while white instrument dials, rotary controllers and a clock finished in mother-of-pearl complete the design.

The car is also equipped with bespoke luggage and a one-off Asprey Jewellery box which is housed in the glove compartment and is designed for rings, cufflinks, earrings and other valuables.

The car will be available for preview from 29th June. The fair runs from 30th June to 5th July.

.. but did they think of everything?

So once I've removed my cufflinks I'll need somewhere to keep my shirt nice and crisp. And what about my girlfriends panties. If the ear rings are coming of, I assume she'll be peeling off the rest as well, eh? We'll need somewhere to keep our undies nice and warm until we need to put 'em back on, eh?

Isn't this the next Johnny English mobile.

I seen this car in the shorts of the second Johnny English movie. It believe to be Johnny English new Mi7 car. Replacing his old Aston Martin DB7 Vantage. It will have gadgets.

Opulence.

Pure royalty. However....Ive always had an issue with the headlights. It looks like they were going to put square ones in, then the last minute decided to put round ones in. For me...let's make it one or other...so the design flows.

Still a brick (but an expensive one)

So there is the proof that Rolls Royce is still the ugliest car of the last 30yrs.
I had hopes that BMW would improve the looks of the Roller, but there again what do BMW know about styling :-)
