A unique Phantom Gallery by Alastair Gibson

There’s a space on the dashboard of every Rolls-Royce Phantom called the Gallery, which is where owners can display a specially-commissioned piece of art or design.

An example of what’s possible is the Carbon Veil. Created by artist and sculptor Alastair Gibson for the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective, it consists of 150 layers of carbon fibre that have been permeated with resin and compressed. The resulting billet is coated with lacquer and sealed under a pane of glass.

Contrasting two-tone leather upholstery and anthracite brightwork complement the Carbon Veil Gallery. On the outside, this particular Phantom features gunmetal paintwork, an orange coachline and the Black Pack. Furthermore, as a finishing touch, the bonnet-mounted Spirit of Ecstasy is made from carbon fibre.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
