That wood coachwork for the roof foldaway area is awesome!

This car defines "Baller".

No kidding!
That's what you call a LAND YACHT.
Where are the anchors for brakes?

I need to buy one of these - I have all of this teak oil left over from my boat and teak furniture . . . no point letting it go to waste.

I love the doors and that they close automatically does the LS have that feature?

Nice video, & obviously a very nice car, but I think the front is ugly with that overly wide grille & those beady headlights - it has lost the regality & elegence of the previous Rolls Royce models

Absolutely Beautiful, funky headlights and all. I going to have to bookmark this car for when I turn 50.

Well, some celebrities certainly didn't wait until they turn 50 before they buy similar cars like this such as the previous Rolls Royce Corniche & Bentley Azure.

I say anyone who like cars like this should go for it if they like it, can afford it, regardless of age.
