A Rolls-Royce is, by any standards, an exclusive vehicle. Each year the company sells in the region of just 5,000 cars and with prices starting at more than £230,000 they remain the preserve of only the very wealthy.
But for some people that level of exclusivity isn’t enough and that is why Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke Collective exists.
This team of designers and craftspeople will take a “standard” Roller and customise it precisely to an individual owner’s specification to create a one-of-a-kind machine. From paint and upholstery to dashboard design and even speaker grilles, the super-wealthy can ensure that their Phantom, Ghost, Wraith, Dawn or Cullinan is unique.
Now, Rolls-Royce Bespoke has revealed images of some of the cars it worked on in 2020 along with details of each commission from the design team.

Wraith ‘Inspired By Earth’ takes its design cues from the entire Solar System, and our own planet, as seen from space. The Royal Blue exterior references the water that covers 75 per cent of the Earth’s surface while an air-brushed bonnet artwork depicts a satellite view of the Middle Eastern region centred on the United Arab Emirates. A hand-painted Emerald Green coachline incorporates the Sun and the eight planets of the Solar System.
The seats are made from Moccasin leather to mimic the sands of the Emirates’ deserts; Navy and Cobalto Blue accents are suggestive of rivers and lakes, and Emerald Green piping symbolises nature in all its forms. The rear ‘waterfall’ features atmospheric clouds rendered in minutely detailed embroidery using Photoflash technology. The fascia is embellished with a skilfully air-brushed satellite image of the Middle East. The Bespoke Starlight Headliner is embroidered to illustrate all the planets of the Solar System, centred on the Sun. Other Bespoke details include treadplates, a clock with metal radial background, and inlays showing the planets in silver, with planet Earth accentuated in gold.](https://www.sunderlandecho.com/webimg/b25lY21zOjQ5Y2Q1ZTdlLTA2NjktNGNmMC04ODZlLTNkMDY0ZDQyZWExMzozMTU3NTk0Yi0xMTZlLTRiMTAtYTIwZi02OThhNDQyNmMyNzM=.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=640)
