The Rolls-Royce Experience

The Pinnacle of Chauffeur-Driven Travel

There is no more eloquent way to move through London than in the rear seat of a Rolls-Royce Phantom. The door closes with the quiet finality of a private library, the engine is imperceptible, and the world — its noise, its haste, its ordinary concerns — recedes entirely.

The Phantom's cabin is a masterpiece of the coachbuilder's art. The Gallery — a glass-enclosed display case that spans the full width of the fascia — may be personalised to hold objects of meaning: a rare book, a piece of art, a memento. The starlight headliner, hand-set with 1,344 fibre optic lights, recreates the night sky above Mayfair. The Spirit of Ecstasy, hand-finished in polished chrome, rises to greet you as you approach.

The Ghost offers a slightly more compact proposition — equally refined, equally silent, with a longer wheelbase option that extends the rear passenger experience to extraordinary lengths. Both models are hand-built at the Goodwood Home of Rolls-Royce in West Sussex, and both represent the apotheosis of British luxury.

At Mayfair & City Carriages, our Rolls-Royce vehicles are maintained to the same standard as the vehicles themselves demand: immaculate, detailed before every journey, and driven by chauffeurs who understand that their role is one of absolute service.

Heritage

A Brief History of the Rolls-Royce

In 1904, Charles Rolls and Henry Royce met at the Midland Hotel, Manchester, and agreed to build what would become the finest motorcars in the world. "Whatever is rightly done, however humble, is noble," Royce believed — a philosophy embodied in every hand-built component of every Phantom since.

The Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood, West Sussex, employs over 2,000 craftspeople. Every vehicle is built to order. No two are identical. In our Heritage Collection, a 1960s Silver Cloud — one of the last motorcars built under the original Rolls-Royce philosophy — remains in our care from the founding fleet of 1978.
