"why should the customer have to wait that long?."
I don't mean offence, by asking the question I'm thinking from the customer's perspective.

If a rival company could produce to the same quality levels at 250 hours, then wouldn't the majority choose their product?

Because they want to. They also are willing to pay for it.

You seem to be missing the difference between price and value.
Granted I don't understand this end of the market, but I doubt they want to wait for it.

The labour hours are large, the materials are high grade and the end product is the best out there.

But if I can reach that outcome in half the time, at half the cost (and potentially sell for the same price) then why wouldn't I?

Also the high labour hours does make me think how much profit they make per vehicle, but I guess that's a different topic.

the fact that people with the finances to purchase a RR are willing to wait approx. 15 months for a car says all you need to know about the brand.

Plenty have tried to compete, Maybach/Mercedes being the most recent.

What volume are they achieving?

At this level, the cost and wait is actually attractive "got a Phantom on order. Bespoke. Going to take months for them to build..."

Why sour grapes? I'm having a discussion, not trying to push any buttons.

Anyway, to answer your question:

About 5x5 meters.

I only produce the "Land of My Fathers" spec.

There's a choir in the boot and a leek for a gearstick.

But it's easy to manufacture with a lead time of 3 hours.

Interested?

all the info you require is available on Google or even youtube if you want to see the lengths they go to produce the best Cars in the world. Your questioning has been nothing short of silly.

Unlike others you're not willing to challenge my points, but attempt to rebuke with one sentence responses.

Even now you refer me to the web without challenging my points.

Sorry for having a different perspective than yours.

Seriously,

how reliable are Rolls Royce act the moment? if they were made in Germany can we suspect they would mechanise the process of production a lot more?

never mind Rolls Royce look at Bentley with the GT
If youre paying that much over the odds wouldnt you expect it to be pretty much bullet proof?
and cheap to run as everything surely would be over engineered
How much to repair the ubiquitous high level brake light?

Are you just using the expression "bulletproof " as an analogy. Or do you really mean bulletproof and armoured?

Many cars for export to pother Government are actually specified to be armoured and to have bulletproof glass and run flat tyres

I'm sure you'd want an expensive car to be more reliable, but I'd think it obvious that a high volume car would be both far more reliable and cheaper to service due to the availability of parts, labour and the cost to the company of a recall.

I've only skim read this thread but I take it the OP was yet another remainer telling yet another blatant doom and gloom lie. Never mind though it only matters what someone wrote on the side of a bus.
