    I enjoyed your review. I have had my Phantom Drophead for a barely credible 14 years this year. I did not spec it but bought it at 700 miles, so close to brand new and I pretty much echo your views. It is a special place to be and certainly does calm your driving style like a big dose of valium. I tend to use ours for long trips mainly between UK and the South of France (but, for reasons you will understand, not whilst we are there) and it is just wonderful on those sorts of trips where it manages something just north of 18 mpg. My tank is smaller than yours being the Drophead so useable range is not much North of 250 miles. Reliability has been pretty faultless over 40,000 miles. Sorry to bear bad news in your anti-plastic campaign but the chrome covers hiding the seat runners are not actually metal and the smoked glass is not actually glass. I share your dislike of the plastic petrol flap although on the Drophead it sits on top of the wing in the absence of a C pillar. You can however get a nice milled metal petrol cap to replace the the plastic original if you need relieving of GBP500. In short I still love it and have no intention of parting with it. If you are up for a challenge sit yourself in the back seat, have someone shut the door and then try and get out unaided. Not sure how that got past health and safety.

    @ZackNWU1988 Рік тому +3

    My dislike as a first impression is the design of the main headlights, there are just one each side. Two lights for each would be more appropriate in my opinion. Since its a coupe, the owner definitely sits in front as the driver and not having a chauffer I guess. Good review and great job done.

    It was quite about time for this majestic car to be properly reviewed. Personally I think it looks best with the polished metal finish on the bonnet and the windscreen frame. Which is also the reason behind the panel line on the roof.

    I dislike everything about Rolls-Royces - it's just the associations with showy wealth - but that was very entertaining. Bravo. (And ignoring my own biases, and these associations, even I can see that it's a pretty stylish car.) And interesting that you point out the cheap and nasty bits like the petrol cap cover and the plastic buttons - never seen reviewers do that with RRs.
    Enjoyed the reference to Thatcher's mate, Jimmy Savile. Eleven new year's eves she spent with him, so you know the security services checked him out and told her what he was doing.

      @LaurieMB Рік тому +1

      The Wraith is a very different experience. The Wraith really does feel like driving a modern sporty interpretation of a Rolls Royce and does a brilliant job of it - especially in Black Badge trim. Watch the one doing the run at Goodwood and absolutely roasting the tires. Incredible. The Phantom Coupe is much more like driving a proper classic long-nose car with the huge wheelbase and very rearward seating position and much more upright and the huge steering wheel with gentle slow inputs. The Wraith is for hooning, the Phantom Coupe is for more for gliding along while being in the driver's seat. I don't think one replaces the other, both are brilliant to experience in their own way. One of the reasons the Phantom Coupes are so rare though, especially in Series 2, is people thought the Wraith was better on paper and was cheaper, and totally missed the point of the experience you get in the Coupe. In many ways yes the Wraith did move a lot of things on, but at the same time the Phantom Coupe was it's own unique thing. It's really hard to explain in words how older, slower, bigger and heavier can be more special, but it is.

    Not sure on your take as to where this coupe originated … what came first, this or the drop head …??? If it was the drop head which was a two door then I believe the RR Coupe was based on THAT ??? Great car though !
