Rolls Royce Owners Adds Some Color to Phantom Limo

Back in the mid-1990s, Volkswagen’s designers came up with a bright idea (literally…) involving the Polo supermini and the colorful theatrical character Harlequin. The result was the Polo Harlekin or Harlequin featuring a multi-colored body. Against all odds, the strange looking Polo proved to be a moderate success with Volkswagen boosting the initial production run from 1,000 cars to a total of around 3,800 units.

Apparently, the allure of a multicolored car isn’t limited to the masses as the owner of this Rolls Royce Phantom proves. According to the team over at Autogespot, it belongs to a UK resident named Alan who happens to own a number of exotic supercars including a Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 Roadster, Pagani Zonda F Roadster and a Spyker C8 Spyder.

Prince Charles insisted that he and the Duchess of Cornwall attend the Royal Variety performance the evening their car was attacked despite warnings from his protection team about their safety, it has been reported.
The Prince also insisted on travelling in the high-visibility Rolls Royce Phantom rather than a lower-profile Jaguar, the Daily Mail claimed.

The Jaguar would have made the convoy more flexible as it had a better turning circle and could have used side roads, a source said.

The disclosure came as disturbing footage of the moment a mob descended on a car carrying the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall shows that a woman in her twenties was one of the main protagonists.

Police released CCTV images of the attack during last month's tuition fee protests in London.

They show that the woman, who has brown hair, hit the couple's Rolls-Royce three times before throwing a metal dustbin at a staff car, shattering its rear window.

2009 Rolls Royce Phantom and Phantom LWB Facelifted

With inspiration coming from the Phantom Drophead Coupe (convertible) and the Phantom Coupe, Rolls Royce revealed the 2009 Model Year Phantom and Phantom Extended Wheelbase. The facelifted Phantom limos are distinguished on the outside by a new streamlined front bumper that has been designed and integrated with a shallower grille, finished in stainless steel. Other new exterior features include LED door handle illumination and the fitting of 21-inch cast alloy wheels as standard.

Furthermore, the BMW Group owned British automaker offers two more wheel options, both manufactured in forged alloy and available in either painted or part polished finishes.

Inside, the rear passengers of the 2009 Phantom benefit from a new RCA component input which provides auxiliary audio and visual connectivity to the 12-inch monitors mounted within the picnic tables. Other additions include new front and rear door cappings with integrated grab handles and new bi-directional double reading lights in the C-pillar while the rar climate control, volume control and electric window switches have been repositioned and are now housed in a wood veneer panel in the door.

The subtly facelifted Phantom sedans will go on sale this spring.
