It's a shame so many of these go to people who have no respect for the skill and craftsmanship required to make each car.

Great video Mo! There is a dying breed of craftsmen out there. I hope I am fortunate enough to be able to afford a rolls someday (when I am old after a few sports cars )

Having done minor service work on older Rolls Royces, I can say that there is NOTHING like the craftsmanship in these cars. They're even more meticulous now than they were back in the post war days.

For anyone with an iPad - Bentley makes a great 60 page app about their current lineup. There are some really cool picture collages of all the build processes that utilize human hands - very subtle images but very powerful - Thanks to the OP for posting a video version.

I agree, I appreciate craftsmanship be it clothes, watches or cars. I like to see the stitching, high quality material and special trim.

They keep getting better, I think the Phantom will be a looker for many years. the Car looks futuristic and ahead of its day specifically the "Coupe & DropHead", they made it look amazing with the front end and the silver bonnet; its just perfect. The car is a sense of occasion and majestic all the time. I absolutely love this car and its sensational to drive late at night.
