**** me but that's disgusting. I'd suggest the owner be shot, but that's nothing compared to the suffering of being seen driving that thing around, so it's all good.

Last Rolls-Royce Phantom VII produced as one-off special
Final VII is a long-wheelbase car that’s been produced for a ‘connoisseur collector’ of Rolls-Royce models
The last Rolls-Royce Phantom VII has been produced with a nautical theme for a ‘connoisseur collector’ of the brand’s vehicles.
Built on a Phantom Extended Wheelbase body that measures 6092mm long – some 250mm longer than the standard body – the last car features a long list of individual features that mimic those of a grand ocean liner’s interior.
These include artwork on the dashboard that depicts a 1930s cruise ship and clocks that mimic the look of classic ship radio clocks. Each is housed within a grooved bezel that features 24 time zones, allowing passengers to rotate it to suit whichever zone they are currently in.
The Phantom’s lambswool carpets also feature a hand-cut wake effect, and the car’s exterior finish colour, a velvet blue, is a nod to the colour of the ocean. It’s contrasted by pinstripe tyres and a solid silver Spirit of Ecstacy.
No changes have been made to the car’s powertrain, so it uses Rolls-Royce’s 6.75-litre naturally aspirated V12 that produces 454bhp and 531lb ft of torque. Like the regular Extended Wheelbase model, the final Phantom can accelerate from 0-62mph in about 6.1sec and to a top speed of 149mph.
Normal Extended Wheelbase models started at £373,824. Rolls-Royce won’t reveal how much this final car cost its owner, but other bespoke models have often edged into seven figures.
Now that the last Phantom VII has rolled off Rolls-Royce’s production line, work will begin on creating a new line for the upcoming Phantom VIII. That model is due to arrive next year with an all-new aluminium architecture.

ROLLS-ROYCE REVEALS FINAL (ONE-OFF) PHANTOM VII
After thirteen years of production, the final example of the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII has left the British brand’s Goodwood production line, signifying the end of an era.
The final seventh-generation Phantom is a bespoke example that the marque describes as a “fittingly artful tribute” to the skills of its craftspeople.
This extended wheelbase limousine was ordered by “a renowned contemporary Rolls-Royce collector”, who asked that the vehicle to be styled to depict a 1930s ocean liner to reflect his particular fascination with the era.
The exterior is finished in “Blue Velvet” paint, which is complemented by a twin coachline and an ocean liner motif. Contrasting pinstripe tyres and a Spirit of Ecstasy ornament fashioned from solid silver complete the unique exterior styling.
The maritime theme continues inside the car, where “Powder Blue” leather and bespoke tone-on-tone embroidery can be found. There are also thick lambswool carpets as well as special front and rear clocks, built to echo the style of the radio clocks that once adorned grand ocean liners.
Rolls-Royce says that this vehicle, the very last example of the seventh-generation model, and the decommissioning of the Phantom production line after thirteen years, sets the stage for the introduction for the Phantom VIII, which will be underpinned by an all-new aluminium structure.
