Rolls Royce press release :
This year marked the 60th anniversary of the legendary Pebble Beach
Concours d’Elegance in Carmel, California. To celebrate the
occasion, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars developed a bespoke Phantom Drophead
Coupé at the company’s Goodwood manufacturing plant, UK.
The car was unveiled at the event by Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten
Müller-Ötvös and Chief Designer Ian Cameron, and was
sold within minutes.
The car is painted in a one-off Bespoke exterior colour called
Stillwater Blue as a tribute to Stillwater Cove on the Monterey
Peninsula. It also features a navy blue soft top lined with cashmere
and is upholstered in a Crème Light leather interior. Interior
wood fittings are composed of a striking cross-banded Santos
Pallisander veneer contrasted with a silver pinstripe inlay.
Hand-crafted oiled teak decking is used for the roof tonneau and also
in the luggage compartment flooring. A fully fitted champagne service
set with crystal flutes complements the teak covered picnic deck,
while a refrigerated cabinet is concealed beneath the luggage
compartment floor.
Further Bespoke cues include an enamelled plaque on the dash,
Concours logos on the tread plates and embroidery on each seat.
What is Rolls-Royce Bespoke?
When a Rolls-Royce customer commissions a Phantom, they demand more
than just a list of standard features and options. Fulfilling
that need for a personalised service falls to the Bespoke team.
Bespoke includes the development of anything from the most
understated feature such as personalised tread plates, contrast
stitching and seat piping to a bold expression in the form of
personalised veneers and unique exterior paints. Then there are
stunning creations like luggage, glassware and an opulent picnic set,
all designed in-house at Goodwood.
“This 60th Anniversary Special Edition is the embodiment of our
Bespoke capabilities in Goodwood,” explains Torsten
Müller-Ötvös, “It demonstrates the ability of our
designers and artisans to create something absolutely appropriate for
an occasion and ultimately, something exceptional to cherish forever.”
