Simon Cowell buys Rolls Royce Phantom...

While Simon Cowell is taking a break from playing the bad guy on Pop Idol, he has found a new pastime. Worth around £60 million, Cowell has driven and been driven in many luxury cars and limousines in his time and he knows what he likes, and especially what he doesn't like.

This is why his acquisition of the new Rolls Royce Phantom limousine has him so excited, for the first time he is not ready with a negative quip or a harsh word, but instead, cannot find anything about the car he doesn't like. Cowell is so excited by the limousine that he hasn't only bought one for his house in LA but he is planning to buy another for when he is in London too.

Simon Cowell first drove a Phantom when another driver reversed into him while he was driving his Bentley Azure. While his Bentley was in the shop, Simon was given a Phantom as a loan car (obviously not your ordinary mechanic!). When he finally got his Bentley back, he was disappointed by the comparison of the Bentley's heavy manoeuvring to the ease of driving he had found with the Phantom.

Simon therefore contacted his Rolls-Royce dealer and chose the piano black Phantom with a triple black interior – black leather seats, black carpet and black lacquered dashboard. Cowell has a soft spot for British cars, and he's driven a few, as he feels that British car manufacturers adhere to tradition and use the best designers, which gives their cars an individuality and character.

The Phantom has a higher ride position than most luxury cars and has a myriad of safety and design features to make the ride and drive of this large luxury limousine smooth and simple while not compromising on power.

The Phantom also surrounds you with intuitive luxury from the leather seats that have been treated so they don't squeak to the cashmere lined roof for a definite feeling of elegance.
