THE 1,000th Rolls-Royce Phantom has been built to customer order at the company’s new manufacturing plant in Goodwood.

To mark the occasion, 1,000 balloons were released from the company’s central courtyard.

One of them could prove particularly lucky for its finder as Rolls-Royce will donate £1,000 to the charity of the finder’s choice and he or she will receive a Spirit of Ecstasy mascot mounted on a special plinth.

The 1,000th Phantom is finished in black, with black leather interior and Elm Cluster wood veneer.
