THE NEW eighth-generation RollsRoyce Phantom

— launched at Bonhams in Mayfair, London — really is a work of art, inside and out. For £350,000, you not only get the world’s finest and quietest limousine, but your own art gallery on wheels. Buyers commission individual works to display in their car. The ‘Gallery’ is enclosed in an uninterrupted swathe of toughened glass that runs the full width of the dashboard.

Chief designer Giles Taylor said: ‘In the 18th century, miniatures were highly fashionable and valuable items of art that allowed their owners to carry images of their loved one with them wherever they travelled. I really loved that idea of taking your art with you.’
