The Rolls-Royce Phantom of 2003, still relatively young at 20 years old, marks a special phase in the rich history of Rolls-Royce. Since the introduction of this new generation of models under the wings of BMW, the Phantom continues to evolve, while the illustrious name has been used since 1925. This particular model is equipped with an impressive 6750 cc engine with 12 cylinders, which delivers a powerful power of 453 hp.
British Automobile Nobility
It is rare to find a Rolls-Royce, and it is therefore special to be able to share the story behind this British chic. This Rolls-Royce Phantom is a living legend, and every encounter is striking proof that living legends really do exist.
The meeting
Our encounter with the Phantom was arranged by Dennys, owner of a professional cleaning & detailing company, who carefully maintains this car for the owner. The owner, a man with a warm car heart and a source of inspiration for many, is described as “a gentleman in a Rolls”. Dennys even has the opportunity to use the Rolls-Royce for relaxing drives in addition to maintenance.
The story behind this Rolls-Royce Phantom
This Rolls-Royce was purchased new from Hessing, the then importer, by an entrepreneur known for renting out 06 lines in the 80s. It was a sign of his success, and possibly also an attempt to arouse the envy of his colleagues. to wake up.
Beloved wedding car
The second owner used the car as a wedding car. After all, there is no other car that can match this Brit, which makes every wedding day even more special and possibly contributes to a successful marriage.
The current owner of the Rolls-Royce Phantom
Dennys, who regularly drives the car, knows that the current owner does not see the car as a symbol of wealth, but as a personal piece of machinery that must be kept in perfect condition. For him it is “a thing of beauty and a joy forever”, a source of great pleasure during summer rides. It is almost a passionate love object, the magical top quality is proverbial.
Shining eyes
Dennys shares: “When I have given the car the ultimate shine and protection, you will see the owner's sparkling eyes as a result. Owning this Rolls-Royce is almost more than pure passion, it is a calling.”
The Rolls-Royce Phantom is a worldwide symbol of British craftsmanship
The Rolls-Royce Phantom remains a global symbol of British craftsmanship and the pinnacle of luxury. This piece of British nobility is incomparable, and in any case we hold our breath for a moment when the Rolls-Royce drives past. You can simply enjoy this showpiece.
Is there any research into whether marriages in a Rolls Royce last longer than, for example, in a Kadett, Beetle or a XNUMXCV? 😉
We used my Duck as a wedding car and have now been married for 46 years; so you don't have to use an RR as a wedding car for that 😉
See, that's what I mean!
My big brother's A Kadett served as a wedding car and has now been together for more than 30 years.
Visually beautiful stately cars, but not in silver gray and with borrowed wood color panels, brrrr.
You wouldn't say that this model is already twenty years old.
*I meant Leen Bakker.
no, because it sucks.
and no RR….
Thanks for the nice piece Dirk!
It was a real pleasure with you all in beautiful Dokkum.
Definitely see you next time!
Regards,
Dennys
