Rolls-Royce Camarque one off by Robert Jankel 1981
General description :
Very special Rolls Royce Camargue. This example was ordered by the European division of the global Rolls Royce organization on the 16th of October, 1980. It is delivered according to Swiss specifications. May 1983 this car was delivered to a dealership in Saudi Arabia. It has the beautiful colour ‘Magnolia White’ in combination with a beige leather interior. In 1984 the car still wasn’t sold. The famous designer Robert Jankel did some special modifications to this Rolls Royce. These special modifications have cost over 22.000,= British Pounds. The modifications includes the following elements: new headlight/rear light units from a Rolls Royce Silver Spirit, Bentley Turbo R wheels, smaller rear window (very special), a custom made boot lid and integrated fog/reverse lights. The center console is extended to the back and equipped with a unique TV-unit. Between the back seats is a liquor cabinet with two silver cups. At that time very special! The Rolls Royce was bought to be exhibited by a Rolls Royce dealership in Monte Carlo, in April 1985. Finally, the car was sold to a collector in Marbella (Spain), who had this car in his possession for a long period. The history is fully known, with all the ''factory build sheets''. Of course this Rolls Royce still has its original, so ''Matching Numbers'' engine. Always perfectly maintained and therefore is this Camaraque in a perfect working and driving condition. The bodywork is in a very good condition, has perfect panel fittings and good paintwork. Also the underside is in a perfect condition! This is a unique opportunity to own a RARE Camargue, designed by Robert Jankel. THIS VEHICLE IS IN OUR STORAGE, VIEWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

About Rolls-Royce
Well, ladies and gentlemen, today we're diving into the illustrious history of a brand that has always embodied the very essence of British luxury and craftsmanship - Rolls-Royce.Our story begins at the turn of the 20th century when two visionaries, Charles Rolls and Henry Royce, decided to join forces. In 1904, the very first Rolls-Royce was born, the Rolls-Royce 10 hp. It was a modest start for a company that would go on to redefine automotive excellence.
But it wasn't until 1907 that Rolls-Royce truly made its mark with the introduction of the Silver Ghost. It was hailed as the "Best Car in the World" and set the gold standard for luxury motoring. With its whisper-quiet engine and exquisite craftsmanship, it was a statement of opulence and refinement.
The 1920s brought us the Rolls-Royce Phantom I, an icon of its time. It was the first Rolls-Royce to feature a 6-cylinder engine and set the stage for the legendary Phantom line. This was the era when the Maharajas of India commissioned custom-bodied Rolls-Royces that were nothing short of automotive palaces.
Fast forward to the post-war years, and we have the Silver Cloud, a symbol of post-war British optimism. The Silver Cloud was elegance personified, with its flowing lines and handcrafted interiors. It was the choice of royalty, celebrities, and captains of industry.
But if we're talking about the epitome of Rolls-Royce luxury, it's the Rolls-Royce Phantom VI, which graced us with its presence from 1968 to 1991. This was a car that made the statement that "if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it." Customization was the name of the game, and the Phantom VI was a canvas for the world's wealthiest to express their unique tastes.
Now, it's impossible to discuss Rolls-Royce without mentioning the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Produced from 1971 to 1995, it was a convertible and coupe version of the Silver Shadow. The Corniche was the quintessential grand tourer, a car for those who wished to traverse continents in absolute luxury.
But, alas, even the mightiest must face their decline, and Rolls-Royce was no exception. The company went through financial turmoil in the 1970s and 80s, leading to the takeover by Vickers plc. Then came the controversial BMW and Volkswagen ownership period, which divided enthusiasts.
Rolls-Royce regained its footing under BMW ownership, and the new millennium brought us the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII, a return to the company's roots of uncompromising luxury. The Phantom VII was a testament to British engineering and craftsmanship.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, brings us to today. Rolls-Royce continues to produce some of the most opulent, bespoke vehicles on the planet, a symbol of British imperiousness that has not waned with time. The spirit of Sir Henry Royce and Charles Rolls lives on in every car that bears the Spirit of Ecstasy, a testament to the enduring legacy of British automotive excellence.
