Last week, Aston Martin revealed the DB12 Goldfinger Edition, celebrating 60 years since the release of the classic James Bond film. However, they’re not the only storied British marque getting in on the action.

While Bond’s DB5 certainly gets a lot of attention, the film's villain was also clearly into his cars as Auric Goldfinger drives a 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Sedcanca De Ville.

To commemorate 60 years since the film's release, in suitable Rolls-Royce fashion, the British brand has reviled a one-of-one Rolls-Royce Phantom Goldfinger.

Essentially a bespoke iteration of the luxurious Phantom Extended, this one-of-one Rolls-Royce pays homage to 1964s Goldfinger with numerous features that link to the plot and themes of the film.

Rolls-Royce claims these features are some of the most extensively engineered bespoke touches the brand has ever added to a one-on-one vehicle, totaling three years of development to bring to fruition. Quite the statement from a brand that earned its reputation, in part, by pushing the concept of a bespoke automobile to new heights.

Looking at the exterior of the Rolls-Royce Phantom Goldfinger, the striking yellow coloring was precisely matched by Rolls-Royce paint specialists to the tone used in Goldfinger’s car.

It’s a ‘long-side’ two-tone colorway, in which the black finish wraps around the vehicle in a single, uninterrupted graphic. The 21-inch disc wheels also take inspiration from the film and are finished in black with silver floating hubcaps.

Inside the vehicle, the flagship feature is a hidden vault created in the center console between the front seats. Here, owners will discover an 18-carat gold bar in the shape of a Phantom ‘Speedform,’ a replica of the vehicle's bodywork in a stylized miniature.

Inside the glovebox, the quote “This is Gold, Mr Bond. All my life, I have been in love with its color, its brilliance, its divine heaviness” has been debossed on the inner lid. Numerous details throughout the interior, air vents, organ stops and speaker grills are finished in gold. There’s also a 24-carat gold-plated VIN plaque that’s ordained with a rather special vehicle identification number that of course ends in 007.

“Bringing Phantom Goldfinger into being was one of the Bespoke Collective’s greatest creative journeys to date,” said Nick Rhodes, bespoke designer at Rolls-Royce. “The elegant and whimsical features that reference the film’s most memorable moments are an exquisite demonstration of the power of bespoke in adding a new chapter to an existing story.”
