Vickers' controversial sale of its Rolls-Royce and Bentley brands in 1997, although acrimonious at the time, allowed the two marques to reaffirm their traditional roles in separate ownership: Rolls-Royce continuing to provide the ultimate in luxurious motoring for the plutocracy under BMW's stewardship, with Volkswagen-owned Bentley catering for the wealthy owner-driver with sporting inclinations. Concluded in 1998, the deal left VW in control of the Crewe factory and it was not until January 2003 that Rolls-Royce would be officially re-established at its new home close to Goodwood in Sussex.
An historic model in the continuing history of the Rolls-Royce marque, the 6.7-litre V12-powered Phantom was the first all-new design to be introduced by the company following its takeover by BMW. To the relief of traditionalists it looked nothing like a BMW, despite the underlying technology. Produced at a new factory near Goodwood in Sussex, the Phantom revived a great name from Rolls-Royce's past that had always been synonymous with unrestrained luxury. In keeping with the tradition established by previous Phantoms, the newcomer was a very large motor car, outstretching the old Silver Seraph (the last Crewe-built Rolls-Royce) by 18" while boasting a radiator shell 4" taller. Priced at around £260,000 at time of launch, it was also 40% more expensive.
While the aluminium body structure represented the ultimate in automotive technology, its accoutrements remained entirely traditional in choice of materials, consisting of the finest hide trim, genuine woollen carpets and carefully selected wood veneers. Saloon, coupé and drophead coupé versions were built. This coupé's notable features include the following:
21" Forged Star alloy wheels
Camera system front & rear
Colour keyed boot trim
R-R logo to headrests
Metal steering wheel spokes
Brushed steel package
Single coachline
TV function
Navigation System Professional
Preparation for mobile with Bluetooth interface
6 DVD changer
Audio integration for iPad
Starlight headlining in dark grey
Glove box with insert preparation
Chromed visible exhausts
Finished in Diamond Black Metallic with Moccasin leather interior, the car was purchased ex-showroom by the current vendor and has covered only an indicated 140 kilometres. Photocopies of the bill of sale and Middle Eastern registration card are in file. Stored since acquisition, the car may require re-commissioning before further use. A wonderful opportunity to own a little used example of Rolls-Royce's flagship model.
