It is thought only 49 Park Ward limousines were coach-built between 1996 and 1999, with just 18 produced in 1998. These exclusive vehicles were reserved for discerning clientele across regions including Japan, Kuwait, the UK, the US. Underneath the graceful exterior lies the formidable 6.75 litre V8 engine, turbocharged from the 1997 model year onward, delivering around 300bhp and capable of a top speed of 125mph. Inside, the limousine is a sanctuary of refinement.
Rear passengers enjoy an electrically operated division for privacy, an intercom system, cocktail cabinet with lead-crystal decanters, occasional folding seats, a rear moonroof, and dual-zone rear air conditioning alongside bespoke veneer, leather, and carpeting configurations. In essence, the 1998 Rolls-Royce Park Ward limousine combines bespoke coach-built craftsmanship, powerful performance, and rare exclusivity. It remains one of the most lavish and collectible Rolls-Royce models of its era.
This Rolls-Royce was first registered on 22nd April 1998 and is one of the seven examples delivered within the UK. It was commissioned by Sir Donald Gosling, founder of Central Car Parks and Chairman of NCP. Of the 49 units manufactured, only 18 were in right hand drive format, this was the eighth from last built. Finished in Royal Blue with French Navy to the front and Barley to the rear. The rear has been trimmed in cloth for additional comfort. We are advised by Sir Donald Gosling's family that the late Queen has been driven in this car on a number of occassions.
The specification of this limousine is too enormous to detail, however important details include separate air conditioning controls to the rear, television, VHS player, electric seats, heated seats, electric moonroof, electric division, picnic tables, crystal glasses etc. Maintenance has been with a ‘no expense’ spared attitude with 19 services carried out. The odometer reading of 7,701 confirms the exceedingly low mileage of this limousine, the condition is certainly commensurate of the indicative mileage. Supplied with a V5 registration document and a comprehensive history folder, this is surely one of the lowest mileage and best condition Park Ward limousines in the world.
The 24-inch extended wheelbase makes this a superb car to travel in, let the chauffeur do the work whilst stretching your legs and enjoying the comfort of this magnificent Rolls-Royce. Consigned by Stewart Banks
