When most of us go on road trips, we stop at Tim Hortons or McDonald's to grab a bite and keep driving. Rolls-Royce drivers can now eat in a more elegant way.
The British car maker is displaying a new picnic basket – or picnic hamper as it calls it – through Sunday at the Pebble Beach Concours de’Elegance, the prestigious California car show known more for fans viewing full-size cars, not accessories.
Only 50 of the baskets will be made and they will accessorize the final 50 Phantom Coupes and Drophead Coupes. Both models will end production at the end of the year.
“Every hamper will be sequentially numbered to perfectly match each owner’s Phantom Zenith Collection motor car,” reads a statement from Rolls-Royce. “The hamper itself is crafted from American Walnut wood and natural grain leather. Each is finished in a choice of three colour combinations matching the interior of the cars themselves.”
The car has a split tailgate, glass shelf, Champagne holder and a leather seat for two, so you’ll have a place to sit.
“The leather and wood interior shelving of the hamper contains lead crystal wine glasses, handmade stainless steel cutlery, napkins embroidered with Rolls-Royce monogram in Arctic white, and a handcrafted American Walnut chopping board,” reads the statement. “A final flourish, the Zenith Collection Picnic Hamper comprises unique crockery, with painted black and platinum detail around the edges.”
Rolls-Royce previously sold a cocktail hamper, but only made 15 of those and Bentley made a fly fishing kit to go with the Bentayga.
