Yes, but will we be able to rent a Phantom at the Welt by the hour to take out on the autobahn?

Amazing
Amazing cars, past and present, excluding the, ehem, mistakes that were committed in late 70's and throughout the 80's. It looks like RR is enjoying a renaissance under BMW. The best thing they ever did was to privatize them, setting the stage for BMW and VW's acquisitions.

This is why I haven't ever viewed the three series as a luxury car. Entry level or any or other level.

I found some very cool fotos from the Rolls Royce FB page. Here are some "behind the scenes" pics of what it takes to move and setup the displays at the Museum's Strive for Perfection...
