Rolls Royce has announced record total sales of 3,600 cars, which, at around £250,00 per car, equates to nearly £1bn in sales. Despite widespread austerity throughout Europe sales were up over 20%. Torsten Muller-Otvos, chief executive of Rolls Royce Motor Cars, told Today business presenter Simon Jack that "we are not in the car business... yes, we are building cars, but it is luxury business at the end of the day." "A Rolls Royce is even seen, I would say, as a piece of art," he added. Paraphrasing Mandy Rice Davis [who went to the same school as me] He would say that, wouldn't he? IMHO This guy is deluded - The designs of recent RR's have got to be some of the ugliest car fronts going. Am I alone in this opinion. (Before making your mind up, look at a Bentley to compare) Having said that, if my Euromillions boat comes in, No RR or Bentley or Ferrari for me - nope an Audi would meet my needs. WWS

Ugly on the outside, but I have only been in a RR once. It was the most comfortable car I have ever been in! Incredibly smooth and quiet and just fabulous. Unfortunately I don't know anyone in Brittany with a roller.

Don't understand anyone paying that sought of Money for a car - my 2cv van does exactly the same thing, "sometimes" gets me from A to B and I can actually push start mine where a Roller is far too heavy

I used to deliver to RR factory in Chichester and was very interesting but, if money was like water then fine but I am fine with no debts and driving around in my little berlingo.
