To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Abu Dhabi
event, 30 November 2019.
Estimate:
$300,000 - $350,000
- Just two owners and less than 1,900 km from new
- Finished in seldom-seen Semaphore Yellow over light beige
- Serviced in March of 2019, ready to drive and enjoy
Completed at Rolls-Royce's facilities at Goodwood in November of
2007, this particular first-series drophead coup� was delivered to
its first owner the following December. Delivered to a customer in
the Middle East, it sports an eye-catching and seldom-seen colour
combination of Semaphore Yellow over a light beige interior and
dark beige soft top. It boasts some of the most desirable options
for the drophead coup�, including the stainless-steel package, ash
wood trim on both the dashboard and steering wheel, Rolls-Royce
logos embroidered on the headrests, and the seven-spoke chrome
wheels.
Presently in the ownership of its second custodian, the drophead
coup� is presented in excellent condition throughout, having been
driven just 1,900 kilometres from new. The car's most recent
service was carried out by Euro Motors, the authorized Rolls-Royce
dealership in Bahrain, in March of 2019 at 1,750 km and has been
driven just over 100 km since.
Considered by many to be the most elegant and desirable of the
Rolls-Royce Phantom VII, the drophead coup� adds a touch of
open-air sophistication to the already exceptional Phantom
platform. While Rolls-Royces have traditionally been known as cars
where the owner is driven, the drophead coup� is without doubt a
car that the owner would want to drive themselves. It helped to
blossom the Phantom line and without doubt gave way to other
driver-focused automobiles bearing the Spirit of Ecstasy, including
the Phantom coup� and the Dawn, the drophead coup�'s smaller
cousin.
Now over a decade old, the Phantom drophead coup� still presents as
a thoroughly modern automobile, yet one that is still distinctively
a Rolls-Royce and an automobile that can stand proudly amongst its
predecessors. For those seeking the most elegant, luxurious,
characterful, and modern twelve-cylinder convertible on four
wheels, there can be no better choice.
Please note the temporary import symbol incorrectly references the
EU. It should reference the UAE.
