Rolls-Royce: Most Extreme Requests

July 26, 2013 By Nadeem Muaddi

Auto Upholstery - The Hog Ring - Rolls-Royce Boot

Business Insider recently profiled the three most extreme requests from Rolls-Royce owners. And guess what? They’re all interior customizations.

Business Insider writes:

Hunting birds of prey in style

“We had a guy in the Middle East, a Crown Prince who wanted the interior of the boot lined with the tartan of the school he went to in Scotland.

“We lined it with the tartan, and in the floor we lined it with a cocktail bar in one side, and a cool-box in the other, so when he went out to his shooting — he used to shoot birds of prey — he had a nice cool drink to refresh him.

“And he could sit on the deck of his boot … do his shooting from there. And he had a nice footstool as well, laid into the boot.”

The Orchard-wood inlay

“We had one client in the UK who wanted the wood from his orchard he was clearing out for a property to be used in his car.

“That’s a difficult undertaking, as we source our wood from sustainable forests. But in this case, he was going to clear the trees away anyway.

“We put the veneer in his Phantom.”

The requests don’t sound all that “extreme” to me, but they are a bit superfluous – especially the third, which you can read by clicking: “Here Are Three Of The Most Extreme Requests From Rolls-Royce Customers“.

What’s the most extreme request you ever had a customer make? Tell us in the comments section below.
