they're definitely more unique than the current "maybach" but at the same time not that unique, and i know that's one of the reasons people attribute to it being a sales failure. a lot of the buttons were just plain early 00s mercedes buttons, and the whole car itself is based on the W140.

top gear always loved to hate it (i suspect nationalism plays a big part in preferring the rolls, as nationalism often plays a big part on top gear, even though the rolls is hardly an all british effort) but that was always my dream getting chauffeured around car.

 

They're actually pretty different. I haven't specifically driven a Mulsanne or a new Phantom, but I have driven the old Phantom and a couple of other Bentleys, Bentleys are a lot more driver oriented, the Rolls is basically a total isolation chamber.

 

Easy. Immediate purchase of a diesel pusher. Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, cockpit, and the sweet smell of diesel all in one.
Can't get pics to load on this website anymore....

 

I would have a Maybach trim customized Honda N-Box.


...and before somebody comment, the car costs 1.66 millions.

 

RR Phantom from that list but in reality if I could I would do the Toyota Century.

 

Rolls Royce Dawn for me.

 

Yea one of these unobtaniums, with the V12! Then mod to be left hand drive

 

Yeah, motorcoach wont work. Can't take it through a parking garage, cant valet it, can't do much of anything practical with it at all. I can however, use it to tow my Bentley from one city to another, where I can then ride around in sublime comfort and style in my Mulsanne.

Those are JDM though, very hard to find over here and I dont imagine they would be any kind of easy to find parts for. May as well have an LS of that same vintage and trick it out with curtains and recliner seats

I had to google that one:



Very nice.

 

In my book, even a driver can appreciate that.

 

LS doesn't have the V12 though (despite its V8 being faster but who cares) and come on that wouldn't be the same! this engine (1GZ-FE) was made exclusively for this car, and only ever used by these cars, so no one can claim this car isn't unique enough.

if you're really lucky you can find one of the nearly 100 made in left hand drive, originally for use by japanese diplomats and toyota executives when outside of japan lol (https://autoc-one.jp/toyota/century/...0901/0005.html). it's like a bentley or rolls royce that doesn't break down! watch enough videos of the century and it'll become your favorite haha. are you saying what's good enough for the emperor, isn't good enough for you?

 

Not too many choices within the parameters but in the spirit of the thread, some quiet imposing luxury. The Rolls Royce Phantom Limelight edition at an obscene $650K, just 25 available. Other than that, Maybach is still a great choice

 

None, these group of cars don't interest me, I would use the hypothetical funds to get the ultimate sports car, 911 GT3 RS in Lizard Green.

 

Guy in my neighborhood has a LWB Phantom. He parks it on the street outside his townhouse. Very strange LOL

 

Not quite to that level, but there's a guy in my neighborhood who lives in a probably 1100 sqft house with no garage (most houses in the neighborhood have 1 or 2 car garages, a couple of 3), and parks an i8 in the driveway. Always thought that odd.

 

To each their own LOL
