The Appeal
The Phantom VII rebooted the Rolls-Royce marque and looking at this handsome 2008 model, you can see why. Reinstating a nameplate that connected it to classic models and imbuing it with the sort of styling that elevated it above mere saloons - just look at those ‘suicide’ rear doors - created a car that well-healed buyers could properly aspire too.
Cleverly blending hand-crafted traditional skills with the unburstable reliability of BMW engineering means that these cars make sound modern-day purchases.
This car is classically finished in understated black with matching black leather and piano wood veneers. It has covered less than 71,000 miles from new and had just three keepers, two of them being the current one.
Alongside regular servicing and maintenance, in recent times the front brake discs and pads have been replaced and the car treated to two front tyres. The wheels have been refurbished too, including the ‘floating’ centre caps.
With a recent service and an advisory-free MOT to January 2026, this sumptuous saloon is ready to enjoy.
The vendor tells us:
“The Rolls-Royce Phantom is like no other vehicle on the road, both to see and to drive. It has a wonderful presence and gets admiring looks wherever you take it. This has to be one of the best if not the best value way to access ownership of a modern Rolls Royce Phantom.”
