Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Hand-built at a facility in Goodwood, England, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is BMW’s take on what the quintessential British luxury car should be. It’s vast and imposing in any of its four bodystyles – saloon, extended-wheelbase saloon, coupe and drop-head cabriolet.

All are beautifully built from the finest materials available, while Rolls-Royce quirks like coach (rear-hinged) doors, a power-reserve dial in place of a rev-counter and self-levelling badges in the wheels underline the attention to detail.

Shifting all that metal, wood and leather is a 6.8-litre V12 engine with 453bhp; gone are the days when Rolls-Royce used to merely describe its power as ‘adequate’.

Even so, it is, as the Phantom in any form is able to get to 62mph in a quite incredible six seconds. It drives well, too, the Phantom enjoyable behind the wheel as well as in the back.
