Pics: Rolls Royce Phantom

ajmat · 2nd April 2005, 19:08

This Rolls has a UK plates - yellow at the back and white at the front. Coding as follows: HX54BVZ

HX - denotes the area the reg was issued (halifax, I think) - but not always the case if you want a personalised number

54 denotes the period when the plate was issued (changes every six months) - was 54 till April, now 04 till Sept, 55 after sept, then 05 and so on

BVZ - random letter.

One can pay a small premium to get a plate with your initials etc.

kavit · 3rd April 2005, 12:05

hey even ive seen a phantom quite often on carters. its definitely the silver one

Maverick5490 · 3rd April 2005, 13:12

well kavit.. u are mistaken.. there is no silver RR phantom in India.. only 2 have graced India so far.. One Golden, which is probably in Singapore now.. and the other Dark Blue.. which u see here.. These 2 are exclusively for Demo, the first a prototype.. the second on is actually a well loaded production car..
Regards,
Maverick

wat abut the silver phantom which was featured in last months b.s motoring...it was a silver one. and the pics in the magazine were taken in bombay.

v12 · 3rd April 2005, 21:02

the RR featured in BSM was the Golden one. Anyways passed by Navnit today. Seen the 6 convert. Looked amazing. The Phantom wasnt there though.

Maverick5490 · 3rd April 2005, 22:14

hi V12,
The RR was supposed to go for a photo shoot at the Taj so it wasnt there.. the 6 series is here for some time.. another brand new 6 series has just arrived.. a light golden shade.. looks great, but the blue one looks amazing.. esp in person..

so the black RR that Maverick posted has to be the Poonawala's, right?

yes 99% it has to go to him. wonder who other 4 people have bought it

Sahil · 10th April 2005, 22:30

I dont think the black RR will go to Poonawala because if u read the article, he has mentioned that he asked for some customizations such as a silver-black combo on the paint job as well as the letter P on all the seats and on the exteriors too somewhere. This car is completly black so i doubt it will go to him without the accessories he asked for.
