Ahoy! Rolls-Royce seen joining the British Royal Navy
The flagship of the U.K. auto industry has teamed
up with the flagship of the Royal Navy for one heck of a photo-op. The occasion? Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has presented a
hand-crafted captain's chair to Captain Bob Cooling of HMS Illustrious, the Royal Navy flagship.The chair is based on the front seat designed for the Rolls-Royce Phantom, and has a full range of power adjustment, along with special adaptations for its new duties.
The color? Navy blue, of course.
