Shiny!!

Post (other than title) and Photos by Bobby

When Cynthia told me that some of the Rolls-Royce and Bentley owners were downstairs at the hotel breakfast and had no objections to my taking some photos, I headed down there to see what I could learn.

The owner of the 2010 merlot colored Phantom gave me a tour of his Rolls-Royce.

He showed me the suicide doors.

And the umbrella that slides into the door.

He pointed out the Rolls-Royce S2

And the 1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III

He then told me the 2007 Special Edition Silver Phantom has a solid silver Spirit of Ecstasy (aka The Flying Lady), which must be polished regularly to remain shiny.

Walking around the parking lot, I saw another Another Rolls-Royce S2

As well as a Bentley.

And a 2013 Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The car I found most interesting was the 1969 Silver Shadow Fixed-Head Coupe.

Its original owner was a military physician assigned to Queen Elizabeth II.  It has a phone in it that only received in-bound calls from the Royal Family (no outbound calls can be made).  On the front of the car is a blue light and also various medical insignia.

A memorable way to spend our morning at the Hampton Inn!
