Updated: Rolls-Royce launches special edition Phantom

Rolls-Royce has launched a limited edition version of its Phantom saloon to mark the centenary of its iconic Silver Ghost. Only 25 examples of the limited edition saloon will be built, with each car to feature a special Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament and unique ‘Silver Edition’ labeling.

In tribute to the specifications of the original, the Phantom Silver is finished in a new Bespoke paint, Metallic Ghost Silver. The 21in wheels have chrome centres and on top of the grille sits a hallmarked solid silver Spirit of Ecstasy. Inside, Rose Leaf or Crème Light leather is accompanied by seat piping and headrests embroidered with the Rolls-Royce interlinked RR badge. Straight grained Santos Palissander wood veneer is used throughout. The same veneer is also used on a specially designed presentation box that houses the key, two solid silver key fobs and a specially commissioned solid silver Conway Stewart fountain pen.

The announcement was made by officials at the largest gathering of Rolls-Royce Silver Ghosts, which took place on Saturday at the carmaker’s headquarters in Goodwood, UK. More than 60 of the historic motor cars, built between 1907 and 1926, were displayed before they embarked on a 17-day, 2000-mile tour.

Also on display was the recently launched Phantom Drophead Coupé. Click ahead for more images.
