The car’s design is loosely inspired by the movie car driven by Oddjob.

Although Rolls-Royce declined to name the buyer, it did say they had been involved in the project from an early stage.
Nick Rhodes, lead designer at Rolls-Royce’s Bespoke division, which has been making the Phantom Goldfinger for three years, had previously said: “We approached EON Productions, which owns the Phantom III featured in the film, with a view to creating something special. for “We mark the 60th anniversary of the movie,” Nick said.
‘The original car was on display in Brussels, where we were able to examine it in detail.
‘However, we didn’t just want to create a copy. This Phantom is very much a modern interpretation.
‘The most challenging part of the project was the two-tone paint.
“Its vibrant yellow matched the 1937 Phantom exactly, with contrasting black covering the upper surfaces of the car.
“The 21-inch disc wheels are also finished in black, with silver ‘floating’ hubcaps that remain upright at all times.”
