Ever since its founding in 1904, Rolls-Royce has been a symbol of British ingenuity and upper-class elegance. The gold standard in luxury auto engineering, the company has created a stunning variety of truly classic cars over the last century. Here are just three timeless models of Rolls-Royce, and why the company’s status as an elite brand isn’t likely to fade anytime soon.
Rolls-Royce Phantom VII
As contemporary automobiles go, the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII is the pinnacle of luxury cars. With its instantly recognizable appearance, the Phantom VII displays the timeless elegance of the Rolls-Royce brand coupled with the stellar technology that luxury vehicle enthusiasts expect in the 21st Century. The preferred car of the global elite, the Phantom VII is likely to remain a classic icon of Rolls-Royce ingenuity for the next 100 years and beyond.
Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud
In the 1950s and 1960s, the Silver Cloud was the chosen vehicle of upper-class swells everywhere. Whether you were a member of the landed gentry or a Prime Minister, you probably wanted to be seen in a Silver Cloud. Rolls-Royce discontinued production of the Silver Cloud in the mid-1960s, but its elegance has been a symbol of the company’s dedication to craftsmanship and beauty ever since. Many of its dedicated fans believe the Silver Cloud to be the finest car ever made.
Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II
Gentleman spy James Bond has driven many luxury car makes over the course of his career, but the Silver Cloud II holds a special place in the hearts of Bond fans across the globe. Featured in “A View to Kill,” the Silver Cloud II would be the last Bond car used by actor Roger Moore. It’s not hard to see why the car was chosen for the venerable actor; indeed, the Silver Cloud II’s elegance and sophistication perfectly matches Moore’s aristocratic temperament.
As any admirer of luxury cars will tell you, Rolls-Royce has created some of the most beautiful and timeless automobiles ever made. Whether they were designed in our own time or in the halcyon days of pre-WW1 England, Rolls-Royce has revolutionized the auto industry with car models that are works of art unto themselves. Truly, that is automotive engineering at its finest!
