2012 ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM

This 2012 Rolls Royce Phantom is a superb one-owner example of an outstanding limousine, recognised as the benchmark for luxury motoring. Presented in its standard wheelbase form, this car was beautifully specified, and is supported by a meticulous main dealer maintenance history. Its remarkably smooth 6.75-litre V12 produces 453bhp, coupled with an effortless six-speed automatic gearbox. The odometer currently indicates just 21,037 miles from new.

This Phantom was first registered in January 2012 and was supplied to its first and only owner by Rolls Royce Motor Cars in London, where it has been serviced regularly ever since.

The bodywork of this Phantom is in beautiful condition, with no signs of any panel damage. The vehicle’s Anthracite paint finish is in equally superb order, thanks to limited and considerate use. The Spirit of Ecstasy stands proudly atop the unmistakable ‘Pantheon’ front grille. It rides on 21-inch alloys, which present superbly and feature independent centre cap bezels to ensure the ‘RR’ monograms remain upright while the wheel is rotating.

Inside, the vehicle has an extensive specification, including an electric sunroof, veneered instrument panel, white instrument dials and burr walnut trim. Looking towards the rear, the passengers are treated to individual theatre seats, a drinks cabinet and cool box, six-DVD changer and reversible footrests. Of course, in typical Rolls Royce fashion, high-quality umbrellas are hidden inside the doors, and the ceiling is lined with the marque’s signature starlight headliner. The Signal Red natural grain leather seats remain in impeccable condition, with no significant wear, while the dashboard and driver controls all work as they should.

The last service was undertaken by technicians at the car’s original dealer, Rolls Royce Motor Cars in London, at 20,971 miles in March 2020. The vehicle received an engine oil and filter change, as well as fresh coolant. Prior to this, the car was seen at 20,580 miles in May 2019 and 16,405 miles in January 2018, all by the original supplying dealer.

The most recent MOT test was on 3 March 2020 at 20,973 miles, which resulted in a clean pass with no advisories or defects. The vehicle rides on Goodyear tyres, which the vendor notes were fitted in 2014 and 2015, and now present with between 4mm and 5mm of tread remaining.

Accompanying the vehicle are the original Rolls Royce handbooks, fully stamped service book and two spare keys.

This 2012 Rolls Royce Phantom is a low-mileage example of a sublime luxury saloon, renowned for being one of the most comfortable cruisers of all time. Benefitting from meticulous maintenance and single-ownership history, this is a pristine motor car that would make a fine addition to any collection, but which is also ready to enjoy from behind the wheel – or from the sumptuous rear seats.
