    Phantom Scintilla: A Muse Reborn

    Often we never really understand the true resonance and impact of the decisions we make until we have a great enough scope to review them in posterity. This could be said for sculptor Charles Sykes’ decision to employ Eleanor Thorton, Lord Montagu’s secretary, paramour and alleged muse for the now world-famous Spirit of Ecstasy. In…

    Rolls-Royce Cars celebrate London Craft Week

    It seems that we are entering an age where the excitement of harnessing digital technology to create is at an all time high. The triumvirate of AI, faster processing times and near instant data-transfer have led to an abundance of abstract “creative” use cases being proposed; speed has begun to supersede quality. That’s why on…

    Rolls-Royce Syntopia — Textile Ambition

    The idea of a bespoke Rolls-Royce will not immediately come across as revolutionary… because every Rolls-Royce in its essence is bespoke.

    Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II — Beyond Sentiment

    Of all the Rolls-Royce models I’ve encountered, I’ve always felt that the Phantom is the most timeless.

    One Million Stitches — The Rose Phantom

    One questions I often get asked is “If you could have any car, which one would you choose…?” A hard question to answer, the irony being that the more cars I drive, the less certain I become. There are cars I definitely wouldn’t want to own, but that is perhaps a tale for another time.…

True to this idea Rolls-Royce have elevated the eighth edition of the Phantom to profound new heights.

    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…
