Fabulous! A black badge version I think, Harry Metcalfe did a nice review on one.

Enjoy the car - it looks great

What did the dealer have to say about ignoring you and was the original car clocked ?

As a contributor to this thread I’m delighted for you, I think you played your hand well. I’m not sure if you can disclose the history of your original car but be interested to know. If it’s any comfort, I’ve just taken delivery of a brand new S63 AMG coupe, the day nav thinks the car is in Dusseldorf and the heated rear window doesn’t work! I’ve had my share of Friday cars over the years, but a heated window problem?

You should have bought an Ariel Atom, never get rear window problems with them smile

Interesting thread and top result OP.

Shame that the previous owner will probably just get away with this and then do it again and again.....

You would hope RR will be investigating the original dealer and the previous owner of the car, and putting things in place to be a little more stringent when buying a car from them again ... If they ever do.

Fantastic result OP.

Well today Rolls Royce presented me with my new car, I’m ecstatic and they went above and beyond not only upgrading the car but also arranging a VIP handover at Goodwood, A massive thank you to everyone for your help, advice and support, hopefully some of the advice I have been given may help someone else in the future.
Stunning.

That's beautiful, I've loved that shade of purple ever since Midnight Purple Skylines in Gran Turismo ;-)

May you have many happy miles in the new car.
