Meet the latest ultra-exclusive convertible from Goodwood
If it seems odd to talk about a one-off multi-million-pound luxury car being simple, one glance at the pictures of the Rolls-Royce Arcadia should clarify matters.
But the detachable carbonfibre roof is unique to this car, as are many of the details on the elegantly plain white exterior and the cossetting wood-and-leather interior. There are 233 pieces of wood used, 76 of them on the rear deck, and some of them bolstered by unseen carbonfibre. To preserve the wood, coatings used on superyachts were deemed inadequate, as they would need regular reapplication, and instead Rolls developed its own, which should last the lifetime of the car.
And although it’s supremely simple at a glance, the dash includes the most complex clock face Rolls-Royce has ever been involved with – assembly took five months, notes Innes.
