Rolls-Royce Owners Club of Australia Federal Rally
More than 100 heritage Rolls-Royce cars took to the streets of Surfers’ Paradise on the Gold Coast, as the Rolls-Royce Owners Club of Australia came to Queensland for its Concours d’Elegance. Models including a 1921 Silver Ghost – which has been owned by the same family since its purchase – joined Goodwood-era models such as the Phantom Drophead Coupé. The cavalcade – which featured ten pre-War cars – assembled at The Spit on Seaworld Drive, driving to Marymount College, Burleigh Waters.

Designed to bring out the discreet power of the Phantom, the exterior of the 101EX featured a streamlined, reclined grille, flowing back into the aluminium bonnet and windscreen surround. The body was made of a unique carbon-fibre composite over the production Rolls-Royce aluminium frame, while the roofline is lowered in comparison to the original Phantom. The interior was designed to protect and cosset, and the high waistline emphasises the cocoon-like nature of the cabin. It features an intimate curved sofa in the rear, and introduced the Starlight headliner fibre optics, which are controlled by a dimmer. Meanwhile, the machined aluminium of the interior mirrors the solid hewn pieces used in the door handles and the oval exhaust pipes.
