Rolls-Royce creates a gleaming new luxury car for Manchester - the city of its birth
Rolls-Royce has created a one-off version of its Ghost luxury car for Manchester whose ambitious aim is to 'capture the city’s history'.
This is the first time that the British luxury car firm has commissioned a car for Manchester, with the firm’s designers working on the model for two years.And to celebrate, they showed off the latest incarnation of the marque outside The Midland Hotel, where Rolls and Royce are reputed to have met. 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.
Among those said to have contributed to the design is George Heaton, who co-founded fashion brand Represent along with brother Mike. The pair, now millionaires, started their careers in their home town Horwich with just £150 to make their own printed t-shirts.
