    A Ghost in Provence

    Art and artistry while essentially hailing from the same family are not quite the same. One focuses on the mastery of the outcome, the other, on the mastery of process. In a recent visit to the South of France I was blessed to witness both, as I headed to the idyllic location of Château La…

  • DRIVEN — The New Rolls-Royce Ghost

    DRIVEN — The New Rolls-Royce Ghost

    It was an early start — early for me at least — as a Rolls-Royce Cullinan pulled up outside my house. It was morning apparently, but the sky was yet to be notified as the carriage of the Cullinan glowed mysteriously in the fading darkness. My destination? Goodwood; the home of Rolls-Royce and venue for the…

    The All New Rolls-Royce Ghost

    In my experience, the features that truly make a Rolls-Royce stand out are the hidden petit luxures that surround your experience of the car — they don’t shout, they whisper. Synonymous with the ethereal spirit like names given to the cars themselves, these features add to the mysterious legend, the fairy-tale that is Rolls-Royce. This…

    DRIVEN | Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge Edition 2019

    I’ve heard it said on multiple occasions that “Past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour” and while I do not wholeheartedly subscribe to that notion — the English weather being my case and point — I do believe it is the case with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. As their model range is concise, every…

  • GOODWOOD | Ghost on a track

    For those of you familiar with Chichester, you’ve probably heard of it for two glorious reasons; the eponymous Goodwood circuit, and for being the home of luxury automotive legacy that is Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. These two brands are kindred spirits; linchpins in their respective ways and brands to which modern and vintage motoring owes so…

    Rolls-Royce Motor Cars present WRAITH

    One hundred years ago Rolls-Royce entered the gruelling 1913 Alpine trial with four 75hp cars; it won six awards, including the Archduke Leopold Cup. Under the stewardship of founding forefather Sir Henry Royce, engineering credentials that had been established through events like the London to Edinburgh top gear trial in 1911, were further reinforced by this…

    Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II

    The day began with two Ghosts. Ghosts, not in the ephemeral sense of the word, but as shown above, stately awe-inspiring vehicles. Little was I to know that the luxury was a merely an indicator of what was to follow – the Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II. “Like a familiar piece of music, it is open…
