Looks like a phantom extended wheel base. Beautiful car but in black...looks like acres and acres of paint to keep clean. My LS460L is a full time job. That car must be a nightmare in that color

The owner doesn't care as he has a live in detailer.

Thank you for the model, I really wasn't sure what it was but I agree looks so good in black. The closer I got to it the nicer the black looked too!

LOL probably, I will say I took a close look and the car was well cared for by somebody

Just to give you an idea of what it takes to own one of these if you service at the dealer. Here is a quick comment I read today on the rolls Royce owners club forum that I am a member of. This guy is talking about a 2006 phantom he has that was having a suspension issue... "Suspension issues, front going down after few days, dealer estimate including service around $19,000, problem found was a small leak on top of the air bag, the line had a small scratch on the quick connector" ..............I'll stick to my LS460!
