Exclusive collection

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has announced that the Middle East region will receive 17 of the Spirit of Ecstasy Centenary Collection Phantoms.

The exclusive collection of bespoke Phantom models has been specifically designed to celebrate the centenary of the Spirit of Ecstasy in 2011.

Only 100 hundred cars bearing a suite of features inspired by the legendary flying lady will be produced.

James Crichton, regional director, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars said that he is confident that the Spirit of Ecstasy Centenary Collection Phantom models will be well-received by customers in the region.

"The collection encapsulates the essence of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and presents owners with a range of exclusive bespoke options that will only be available this centenary year," he said.

The Centenary Collection models feature Spirit of Ecstasy figurines that are cast in Britannia Silver and bathed in a halo of white light. They stand on a base, complete with black-gold plated bezel, bearing the inscription Spirit of Ecstasy Centenary - 2011. The design is finished with a set of six hallmarks.

Twin coachlines incorporate delicate hand-painted Spirit of Ecstasy insignia and the models carry a new badge developed to establish the collection's place in Rolls-Royce history.

Located beneath the Spirit of Ecstasy, on the trunk lid as well as on the front wings, this badge reverses conventional design, with white enamel 'RR' detail set on a black chrome background.

Inside the cars fine detailing abounds. Satin spun instrument dials, centered with polished interlinked 'RR' monograms, are further enriched with polished chaplets and black numerals. Clocks are backlit, presenting an inner ring of silver incorporating the centenary inscription while the centre console lid opens to reveal a discreet solid Britannia Silver commemorative plaque.

Four exterior colour options are offered, all exclusive to Spirit of Ecstasy Centenary collection cars. These start with Rhapsody Black, a black metallic incorporating a delicate gold sparkle and Maiden Blue a deep blue metallic highlighted with a silver sparkle. Ethereal White Pearl comes with a special pearlescent finish while Wildflower completes the bespoke paint offering, presenting a rich blend of red and brown colour with a fine sparkle.

Each exterior colour can be ordered with a selection of sumptuous leather and interior contrast schemes while hand crafted billets of Britannia Silver will be delicately inset into the customer's chosen veneer.

Owners will also receive a desk ornament with their cars; a polished steel Spirit of Ecstasy mounted on a piano black base. These will be presented with individual certificates of authenticity signed by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars CEO, Torsten MŸller-…tvšs.

"Last year the Middle East region maintained its position as Rolls-Royce Motor Cars number one Bespoke market worldwide; every car delivered to the region had some element of Bespoke to it, highlighting our customers appetite for unparalleled refinement and distinction," added Mr Crichton. * For further details contact Euro Motors on 17750750.
