Exclamation Rolls Royce Picnic Set.

When you are spending more than $1 million on a car, you hope the dealer throws in something more than just a free set of floor mats.

Rolls-Royce will go a step further. The manufacturer has an in-house design and engineering team, Bespoke, that will create anything you desire to complete your Phantom. Pictured is the latest custom creation, a Rolls-Royce picnic set crafted from aluminium, leather and veneer.

But Bespoke does more than picnic sets; personalised sill plates, seat stitching, trim and exterior paints are all part of the service.

"Bespoke is the jewel in our crown, the perfect complement to our luxury product line-up," says the chief executive of Rolls-Royce, Torsten Muller-Otvos.

"Customers expect a Rolls-Royce Phantom to be tailored to their individual desires."

It's popular, too: 75 per cent of Phantom owners choosing a Bespoke extra with their purchase - in the Middle East, it is 90 per cent.

Maybe FORD could have one !!!!!!

A work mate just bought an FG, he was rapped with just a key ring and business card with a picture of an FG on it along with his name.
I would have told Ford to keep their "Deal breakers"
PLUS he could not even get red stitching on his seats to match the paint - Only blue!?!
Can only imagine the local Ford dealers face when you ask him to "Throw in a picnic basket"

What??? You're kidding?? No red stitching on the seats? Why? That's ridiculous. FG's are ordered and then built, so why can't you get red stitching on the seats? I would be most unhappy if I ordered a car and could not get something so simple.

built to order sure but they are not custom built, if it isnt part of the trim package then tough ****

they only offer cloth with grey stitching or leather with blue

That reminded me of a purple P76 on Glenlyon off Lygon.
Always parked outside in the street ...
I would've thought it'd be looked after a bit better ...
It has seen better days though...
