Phantom Series (2003-2012)

Saw this on RR facebook, thought it was worth a share:

The last of the Phantom Series I models (2003-2012) will come off the production lines at Goodwood this month. The final 25 cars feature a commemorative sterling silver plaque, signed by Rolls-Royce Chief Designer Ian Cameron, who was pivotal in the creation and evolution of the Phantom. The plaque bears several hallmarks which attest to its quality. These include the Rolls-Royce hallmark, the lion face issued by the London Assay Office, and the ‘925’ and lion body hallmarks – both of which guarantee the minimum 92.5% purity required for sterling silver. The final two refer to the year; ‘n’ is the date mark for 2012, while the crowned head is the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee commemorative mark.

The "new" Phantom, is just the facelifted version of the one that's out already! It's called Phantom Series 2 model, if I'm not mistaken!

I haven't seen pictures but all I would ever want in the second series is an updated interior. Everything about the exterior car seems like an absolutely timeless design in my opinion.
