Auto Talk: Rolls-Royce Sells Out Of Million-dollar Year of the Dragon Edition Phantoms In Two Months

Think the “standard” Rolls-Royce Phantom is expensive at $380,000? Try $1.2 million on for size. That’s how much the latest special-edition Phantom was going for, but the astronomic price tag hasn’t prevented the (*ahem*) Rolls-Royce of automakers from selling every last one.

After four years together, David Beckham has parted ways with his limited edition black Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe on eBay. Beckham bought the car in 2008 for £350,000 (around $460,000 US dollars) and spent thousands more having it customized. However, the soccer star sold the Coupe on the internet recently for £250,000 which translates into about $330,000. Check out pics of the whip after the jump!! Wendy L. x Sabrina B. @gametimegirl


Auto Talk: Rolls-Royce revels in the customization options most of its customers spring for

If you’re going to shell out for a brand new Rolls-Royce, you’re going to want to get it exactly the way you want it, right? Right. And that’s the case for the majority of buyers even of the (relatively) more accessible Ghost as it is of the higher-end Phantom range. In fact, Goodwood reports that 56% of buyers of the Ghost (including the extended wheelbase model) opted for some measure of personalization direct from the factory. Funk Flex


Auto Talk: Rolls-Royce records highest annual sales in 107-year history

Some would say that 2011 wasn’t exactly a banner year, but the good chaps at Rolls-Royce would likely respond with a definitive “Poppycock!” That’s because the 107-year-old brand experienced its best-ever sales totals in 2011, with 3,538 very expensive autos sold around the globe. That’s a 31 percent increase over the 2,711 models sold in 2010, thanks mostly to brisk sales of the Ghost and Phantom models. Funk Flex


Auto Talk: Rolls-Royce recalling 2010 Ghost over possible engine fires

No car is invincible to defects, and sometimes, even the folks in the highest tax bracket have to deal with vehicle recalls. The 589 lucky souls who purchased 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost models manufactured between September 2009 and September 2010 will need to make a trip to the dealership (or at least send their butler or chauffeur), as the ultralux sedan is being recalled due to an electric auxiliary water pump that can overheat and potentially result in a fire.
