Of course the 'Manchester bee' is an indelible symbol of the city. In the new 'Roller' this is reinterpreted as an emblem that appears on the C-pillar of the Ghost. The bee' is also embroidered on the front and rear seat inserts. The car comes painted in a silver exterior colour with turquoise being used on the pinstriping and on the wheel centres.
Inside, 10,000 laser dots have been etched into the car’s fascia, which aims to depict what Manchester looks like from above. The largest dot represents the Midland Hotel, the reputed meeting place of Rolls-Royce’s founders.
