Rolls-Royce

After the unseemly scuffle between rival Germans over who was going to pinch which bit of the auto Crown Jewels, it was BMW who emerged clutching Rolls-Royce. Sacrilege?

  • Rolls-Royce Drophead

    Drophead

    £322,068

    Can you carry this off? Winning the Lottery isn’t enough – you need a freakish level of assured unflappability to pilot what is basically a yacht, complete with decking.

  • Rolls Royce Ghost

    Ghost

    £193,875

    This is supposed to be a smaller, sportier, more usable Rolls, but the only way this Ghost qualifies as ‘small' is in comparison to the ermine and aluminium freight train that is the Phantom.

  • Rolls-Royce Phantom

    Phantom

    £276,595 - £327,002

    If you have to ask about depreciation, you can’t afford it. Which is just as well, as it will lose a grand a week in value over three years. What the hell, it’s only money.

  • Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe

    Phantom Coupe

    £303,268

    A Rolls-Royce with sporting pretentions? Dash and blast it, what the bally Moses do those cads think they're doing? If it wasn't so dashed fantastic I'd take my stick to them.
