This glorious, yellow, hand-built limo is the perfect partner to the DB12
Ironically, Ian Fleming picked the name ‘James Bond’ because it sounded basic, and incapable of drawing attention—thus perfect for a spy. Connery’s proud, assured proclamation 60 years ago in 1964’s Goldfinger that he was in fact, “Bond, James Bond,” turned that narrative on its head.
Which means it gets a lovely two-tone yellow and black finish, and because this is a Rolls-Royce, it is not just any two-tone yellow and black finish. The yellow is the exact shade of yellow used by Goldfinger’s Rolls. Ditto the floating hubcaps designed to recall the design of the ’37 Phantom II.Even the ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ is a subtle, knowing wink to the film as it’s been made to look as though it’s hiding gold underneath, and so the solid silver has gold-plating in parts.
Speaking of slides, the Phantom’s ‘Gallery,’ which runs the full width of the inside front fascia, is a 3D map of the Furka Pass that was made from a hand-drawn sketch. This itself took a year of development.But there’s detail, and then there is ‘what was the universe doing on this day?’ detail. Take the shape of the Phantom’s headliner, it represents the constellations over the Furka Pass on July 11, 1964—the final day of shooting the Swiss scenes in the film.
