Spotted : Rolls Royce Phantom Limo

v12 · 2nd September 2004, 10:50

Hi guys,

I was at office yesterday. Came down to have sandwiches across the road. With great difficulty after managing to dodge the motorcycles and ricks, i managed to cross the road. And the moment i reach the other side, a dark blue car just honked and whizzed past me. I could just see the front for a fraction of a second. And it resembled the RR Phantom. Sh**!! Damn it!!! I missed havin a proper look at it. Didnt have a cam also with me. Double Damn it!!! Well, as the car passed, i took a look at the sides. It was a Limo. Three huge side glasses. Whoa not a Phantom, but a Phantom Limo. I was

But something told me that this doesnt look like a Phantom. It didnt have the class, the presence and the size of a Roller. As the car passed I noticed the rear of the car. It had something (a logo) that looked like a MM(Maybach) logo.

Since when did RR start producing the Maybach?? Then just one look at the tail lights and i almost puked in the middle of the road. The rear lights looked like a typical DC design. Eeks. Good i didnt have a cam on me. And good I saw the rear of the car, Or i would be running all over town telling people I saw a RR Phantom (and that too a stretched limo).

I doubt the car was DC Designed. Reason : He never copies grille designs. So i guess this car was either Rio or PCB. Or it coud be anyone. The next time you guys see a RR Phantom lookalike limo, remember its not a RR. So dont bother to give it a 2nd look.

hahahahahaha

i saw this car 1-2 months ago, but i didnt bother posting up because it was butt-ugly, its a sonata done up by DC, spotted outside shatranj at pali hill.

i spoke to the driver & he agreed to show me the interiors, it was alright, nothing compared to the work he's been doing on the merc's of late, quality was definetly not what u'd expect & yes the front was ripped off a rolls royce & the rear a lincoln town car.....

hey v12,
all i can confirm is dc was working on a stretch limo rolls royce for a british customer. quite a while back, i had visited "speed demon tuning" in parel, mumbai along with ported_head. there we saw a rolls royce that had come in from Uk. the guy who runs that place told us that the Rolls Royce had come to DC to make a stretch limo out of it and he had the car with him cos he was to strengthen the chassis and work on the engine mods. I dont know if its the same car that you saw.

I would prefer to get the engine mods done by some BMW specialist in the UK

Modded Limo.I guess DC has worked on the Astra,Camry,Skoda etc limos.Must be his new mod.1 of my friend when visited him last,he was working on an Accord Limo.

Anywayz,i have this 1 pic from xbhp.com of a Lincoln Limo.Just thought of posting it.

This Lincoln (along with a couple of superbikes) was a part of the Lifestyle road show a couple of months back. Its pretty badly maintained. The car paint has lost its shine and the chrome grille too is sooo dull. I have a pic of the car. Will post it tomorrow.

I didn't know there was a black Lincoln in Mumbai too. I've seen a golden Lincoln Town Car stretch limo many times.

v12 · 5th September 2004, 12:30

nikibusa · 26th May 2005, 23:04

The Golden Lincoln Limo was run by Kent cars group for corporates.
