Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase Series II, Green

Rolls-Royce unveiled the eighth-generation Phantom by livestream on 27 July 2017, the first car on the aluminium spaceframe platform that the Cullinan also uses. The Extended Wheelbase car is 220 mm longer than the standard Phantom, and the extra length goes to an enlarged rear compartment behind rear-hinged coach doors. In May 2022 the company announced the Series II, with new garnish above the Pantheon grille and the daytime running lamps, revised headlamps with starlight bezels and a new set of wheels. Under the long bonnet is a twin-turbocharged 6.75-litre V12 driving through an eight-speed ZF automatic, and each car is assembled by hand at Goodwood.

This one is painted a deep gloss green, with an orange and gold twin coachline running from the front wing to the tail. Silver seven-spoke wheels carry green Rolls-Royce centre caps, and the radiator shell, window frames and sill strips are bright silver, with the Spirit of Ecstasy on the bonnet. Through the glass the cabin is trimmed in vivid orange leather, from the seats to the door cards and the centre armrest, set against a black dashboard with round chrome vents and a long glass panel across the fascia. It stands on a black velvet base with white stitching, and the etched plaque reads Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase II, Jim&Bill and Henson&Heaven, one of 30. H&H builds it at 1:18.
