Pinnacle Travel Phantom Event
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Vancouver
The most expensive Rolls-Royce to ever
land in Canada is the Pinnacle Travel
Phantom. Only fifteen units have been
produced worldwide, with only two
designated for North America. The recent
arrival inspired a private champagne-andcaviar reception at Rolls-Royce Motor
Cars Vancouver where guests marveled
at the bespoke craftsmanship of the
Pinnacle Travel Phantom. The vehicle
required 900 labour-hours to complete,
including the meticulous assembly of 230
individual pieces of wood veneer that
were laser cut and hand assembled in a
cross-country train motif.
VIP guests and media enjoyed pianist
Roy Tan and violinist Rosemary Siemens
– better known as Roy & Rosemary – and
the world’s only Fazioli piano covered
completely in 24-carat, hand-applied gold
leaf. The piano was generously provided
by Showcase Pianos of Vancouver and
Richmond.
