For Sale: 2013 Rolls-Royce Phantom in Saint Louis, Missouri

Rolls-Royce's revival of the Phantom name marked the seventh time in the company's history that it graced their flagship offering. Upon debut, the all-new Phantom represented a huge leap forward with bold styling that was unmistakable as a Rolls-Royce, while simultaneously fresh and modern. Considering the last 60s-era Phantom VI was produced in 1990, the new 'Phantom VII' looked like it came from another dimension! The Phantom (it's official name) was the first new car developed from the ground-up under the guidance of its parent company BMW, and it was the most technologically advanced Rolls-Royce to date. It required the skilled craftspeople at the new Goodwood assembly plant a minimum of 260 hours to build each car - compared to about 25 hours for the average mass-produced vehicle.
In 2007, Rolls-Royce unveiled the Phantom Drophead Coupe as a companion to the saloon. The new four-passenger Drophead took inspiration from the striking 100EX concept car, including its smoother front-end styling and distinctive rear-hinged doors. The fabric soft-top was a nod to tradition, with the practical function of affording a roomier boot compared to a heavy, bulky folding hardtop. Of course, Rolls-Royce ensured the Phantom Drophead had 'adequate' performance to suit its presence. The turbocharged 6.75-litre V12 makes 454 horsepower and a veritable ocean of torque, moving the 5,776-pound Drophead along with startling efficiency. With a base price of over $400,000, and seemingly endless array of personalization options, it was indeed a fitting flagship, worthy of its storied name. Production was quite limited, with estimates putting the total at fewer than 2,000 cars built from 2009-2012 in original form, and the revised, improved 'series II' from late 2012-2017.
Finished in Mazarine Blue livery with brushed stainless accents, teak decking, and lovely tan and navy blue cabin, this 2013 Phantom Drophead represents peak modern-era Rolls-Royce opulence. Records show this car was sold new at Manhattan Motor Cars in New York City, and subsequently spent time in New York and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is an exceptionally low mileage example, with just 2,983 original miles, in superb condition that is reflective of its limited use. It is highly optioned with desirable fitments including the full stainless steel package, teak decking, 21-inch wheels, camera system, visible exhausts, bespoke interior, additional wood veneer, RR logo headrests, and even alligator floor mats. Accompanying documentation from Holman Motorcars, Ford Lauderdale states the car was up-to-date on servicing and fitted with new tires at 2,297 miles.
When new, the MSRP for this car was an eye-watering $528,650.00, and with low mileage and superb quality, it represents an outstanding value. The Phantom Drophead has all the makings of a future collectible - exclusivity, rarity, and abundant style, with the unparalleled quality that has defined Rolls-Royce for over a century.
