It is a bit ott, but so is a normal Phantom, I like a bit of variety and so many Phantoms tend to be sober looking things so it’s good to see a variations, and people won’t think you are Alan Sugar as that is what I always assume when I see a Phantom.
I think some get upset on an aesthetic basis and I can see that, it’s subjective. It seems to be tempered with a subtext of disapproval that the owner possibly isn’t a traditional “establishment” type to whom they feel like they should doff their cap, tug their forelock and say “gawd bless you sir”, but it may be some young upstart oik who made money through sport, music, tech or instagram, and that upsets the natural order, how dare they express themselves on a Rolls Royce, the very idea !
Get over it, the world has changed, well, a bit, john Lennon was pissing off old grumps in a similar manner fifty years ago.

To answer, my last car that's now dead died of a Ford Kuga running into the side of it. It was usable but not pretty. Astra H SRi Turbo 200.
I drove it for a bit while I sorted a new car out, the other driver's insurance company paid out for the damage and sold it to a guy who had various plans for it but then scrapped it

Cool story, I actually read it twice, however, what do you think of the Roller?I drove it for a bit while I sorted a new car out, the other driver's insurance company paid out for the damage and sold it to a guy who had various plans for it but then scrapped it
This is certainly one of the less awful efforts to come out of one of these ghastly design houses, but while I like the wheel design, I can't get past the idea that those rubber band tyres will have done awful things to the ride quality. But I suppose that is not the point of a car like this.
