Rolls-Royce Phantom Majestic by Bertone
I do get excited when photos are the Royal Family of Brunei cars come to life.
Let's take a look at this car.
It is a Rolls-Royce Phantom Majestic by Bertone. This is the front of the car, taken from a Bertone catelogue a while ago.

Now take a look at these shots. They look like Bertone imagery taken by the coachbuilder themselves.

Two Rolls Royce Majestic cars were built, both in 1995. One carries the Brunei registration number plate BQ 7032 the other does not have a number plate.

The cars were built on the special ZH chassis like many of the other Sultan of Brunei coachbuilt cars, and both had 6.75 Litre V8, single Garrett turbocharger, cross-bolted crankshaft, non catalyst engines, with active seat belts, were built in Crewe and were right hand drive.
I think that the chassis would have been built in Crewe, but this car would have been constructed by the coachbuilder.
