100 Not Out: The Rolls Royce Phantom Centenary

For 100 years, the Rolls Royce Phantom has stood as the ultimate symbol of success and discernment, chosen by the world’s most influential figures. To mark this legendary centenary, Rolls Royce Motor Cars has created the Phantom Centenary Private Collection, a crowning achievement strictly limited to just 25 examples worldwide, with each motor car reportedly priced at approximately £2.5 million.

This is more than a motor car, it’s a collective work of art and the Bespoke Collective’s magnum opus, resulting from over 40,000 hours of dedicated work.

A Bespoke Tribute to a Legend

The Phantom Centenary Collection is a profound dive into the marque’s history, capturing 100 years of the nameplate’s journey through breathtaking craftsmanship:

• Unrivalled Exclusivity: Limited to only 25 motor cars, instantly marking it as a rare and collectable tribute. The exterior paint, finished in a two-tone Super Champagne Crystal over Arctic White/Black, achieves an extraordinary metallic shimmer by infusing the clear coat with iridescent particles of crushed glass.

• The Golden Standard: The iconic Spirit of Ecstasy figurine is reinterpreted from the very first one to grace a Phantom and is cast in solid 18 carat gold, plated in 24 carat gold, and finished with a unique ‘Phantom Centenary’ hallmark.

• Intricate Interior: The rear seats feature the most intricate composition ever created by Rolls Royce, inspired by the 1926 ‘Phantom of Love’. The fabric combines high-resolution printing with 160,000 stitches of embroidery in a ‘sketching with thread’ style that portrays seven significant owners from every generation of Phantom.

• Masterpiece Woodwork: The most intricate woodwork ever in a Rolls Royce, featuring 3D multi directional marquetry, laser etching, 3D ink layering, and 24 carat gold leaf roads. The doors map significant journeys, including Sir Henry Royce’s winter home in Southern France and the epic 4,500 mile journey of the first ever Goodwood era Phantom across Australia.

• The Anthology Gallery: The centerpiece on the fascia, this unique composition features 50 3D printed, vertically brushed aluminum ‘fins’ interlaced like pages of a book, forming quotes drawn from a century of press acclaim.

This extraordinarily ambitious Private Collection, with its high initial value and extreme rarity, reaffirms the Phantom’s status as a symbol of ambition, artistic possibility, and historical gravitas a true appreciating asset for the world’s most discerning collectors.
