It makes the Bentley and the Vantage seem small. Santa came early.

I'm curious, how much British is left in a Rolls? I know the platform is shared with the 7 series, but is there an English engineering team? Are they still built in England? Do they do bodywork and finishing in the UK?

Congratulations! That powder blue is a beautiful colour. What's the official colour name? Any more interior shots?

From what I have read about 20% is from the BMW 7 series platform. The engine is based on the BMW 6 liter v12 but reworked to Rolls Royce specs and enlarged to 6.6 liters. They are built at the new plant in Goodwood England.

Lazuli Blue. It is a light silver blue. Very similar to the silver blue on 60s Pontiacs. I’ll get more shots just delivered yesterday and only had time for a few shots.

Very quiet and smooth. Much more powerful than I had imagined. Have only had it for a day so will have to comment again in a month or two. Nice corgi dog.

Did you just compare your Royalty to a Pontiac?

I am sure you need a chauffeur, its not civilized to ride in the front seats of that car. Any British gentlemen knows this.

She'd look great in the back of your Rolls! She prefer's the front seat though


If she sits in the back seat too long:
