A Rolls Royce does not suffer a 'car breakdown', it merely 'fails to proceed', such is the majesty and mystique imbued in the world's most famous car brand. One wonders what Mr Rolls and Mr Royce would think of the firm's latest offering, the Phantom Mark II.
At over £300,000 you wouldn't be expecting any major problems - and the new model does not disappoint. It looks very similar to the previous model; only a shape change on the LED headlamps and a softening of some lines tells you there has been any improvements at all, at least from the outside. Although Rolls Royce would probably shy away from calling them 'improvements', since this might annoy the Lord or the left back who shelled out nearly a third of a million on the first version.
Refinement, then, is probably a better word. There's a whole new raft of fancy electronics on-board, including an impressive satnav system which boasts a sizeable 8.8in screen, and a 360 degree camera set up to assist the chauffeur in parking up in the grounds of his boss's castle or indeed football club. It also sports a Harman Kardon stereo, which is evidently so expensive and exclusive that this blog writer has never heard of it.
Apart from a few gripes that include not being able to reach the adjustable steering wheel too easily, and not being able to see which gear one is in because of the large centre boss, this sequel - or rather 're-mastering' - of the first Phantom is still rather impressive - since the entire object oozes quality and refinement in a way that, arguably, no other car can.
