THE ROLLS-ROYCE

When you first glimpse the new Rolls-Royce, you will be seeing the latest refinements in technology and elegance for the world's most luxurious motor car.

The new sleek appearance has been achieved through the subtlest of changes to the classic grill design. Still made by hand and stamped with the craftsman's own insignia. The new proportions combined with a reshaped air dam have streamlined the front, while the integrated bumpers of colour coded sills continue the smooth line around the car to the rear.

By adding new and larger 16-inch road wheels with specially designed lower profile tyres there is a noticeable improvement in road holding, responsiveness,

handling and above all comfort. Moreover, the new wheels contribute appreciably to the new profile in the quest for higher standards of luxury and comfort for driver and passenger alike.

The new interior presents some thoughtful innovations. An adjustable tilt steering wheel column, linked to the seat position memory, swings up to allow easy entry and exit when the door is opened or when the key is removed from the ignition.

The redesigned centre armrest now houses the CD multichanger as well as the telephone for convenience and accessibility. The new centre console sweeps up to the restyled fascia with the veneered panels revealing the cigar lighter and the new in-car entertainment controls which have been regrouped for simple operation.

A new four by thirty Watt speaker system with increased dynamic capacity and low listening volume gives improved presence and clarity. The new centre console also provides independent air-conditioning to the rear compartment through separate volume and directional controls.

A new seat design has improved comfort and support, while providing increased head room. All carefully handcrafted in the finest leather and burr walnut veneer.

Ever since 1904 when Henry Royce first produced his astonishing advance in smoother, quieter and more reliable motoring, the marque of Rolls-Royce has always held the pursuit of excellence in engineering, constantly seeking refinements.

The increased power of the 6.75 litre Rolls- Royce V8 engine gives confidence, comfort and safety in equal measure. Still assembled by hand to tolerances often thousandths of an inch, this finely balanced engine harnesses the latest electronic management systems.

So many Rolls-Royce engineering advances have contributed to safer driving throughout the history of motoring. Safety derived through immense power in reserve for safer overtaking. Side impact protection bars pioneered by Rolls- Royce in 1981.

The most sensitive adaptive ride control that monitors the acceleration, braking, and cornering style every one hundredth of a second to ensure the car is kept smooth and level.

Full-sized driver and passenger airbags neatly housed in the immaculate interior have long been standard. The commanding driving position supported by the new economically designed seats contributes to the safety of the driver.

This combination of safety and elegance, the fusion of advanced technology with traditional craftsmanship is the very latest development in the pursuit of

motoring excellence.

To ride in the new Rolls-Royce is to experience the ultimate in luxury motoring. To own the new Rolls-Royce is to be counted amongst the most successful and deserving people in the world.
