(Stock # 4302.)
Rolls-Royce, in keeping with the more-than-century old tradition of the world's finest car, pleased the motoring world when they introduced the 2008 Phantom Drophead Coupe. There has really been nothing quite like this car. Unabashed luxury is revealed when the coach door is electrically opened from behind the triangulated A pillar and the leather, wool and fine woods interior are found to be very pleasing to the senses. Looking out over the brushed stainless steel bonnet to the Spirit of Ecstacy is a pleasant occupants' view which may be changed with the push of a button, lowering the flying lady into the grill shell for safety. The wood on the door capping rails matches that of the teak rear deck which is revealed when the convertible top (constructed by five layers of cloth to help silence the sounds of the outside world) is lowered. Safety features include a pop-up roll bar in the case of a potential roll-over and head, knee and side airbags are at the ready. Performance is nothing short of astonishing for this 3+ ton luxury carriage-0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.9 seconds and a top speed electronically limited to 150 mph-in smooth near-silent operation. The first Phantom Drophead built for the North American market was finished in special order Ensign Red with Parchment hides, and sent with great fanfare to Palm Beach to be auctioned, selling there at a price of $2,000,000. The current owner recently brought the car to his estate in Gladstone from his home in Palm Beach and now, with just 9,520 miles, it is being offered for sale at a price of SOLD!
