The Rolls Royce brand is renowned for keeping us on our toes. From their surprise entrance into the SUV market with the Rolls Royce Cullinan to their pledge to make all new cars customised, Rolls Royce is a brand that cleverly combines traditional values with modern car needs.

Now, the eccentric brand prepares to launch an all-new version of the famous Rolls Royce Ghost; a car that we at Cars for Stars have enjoyed having in our fleet for many, many years.

While thought to look the part and retain that iconic Roller ‘look’, what exactly can we expect from the 2020 edition?

Well, according to sources, the new generation Ghost will ditch the current platform for an aluminium spaceframe alternative. This will make the car considerably lighter, meaning it will be capable of higher speeds and enjoy improved handling. And, with the current model often criticised for being 2,500 kg and requiring a great deal of fuel to power, this is a change that the industry has welcomed.

The 2020 Ghost will also work with a four-wheel drive set-up, supported by a 6.6-litre V12 twin-turbo engine.

The exterior

Now that we have an idea of what we can expect under the bonnet, what will the car look like? Having seen a few spy images of versions being tested, we immediately notice that the rear-hinged rear doors and large grilles are back! The bright LED headlights have also been kept during the redesign process. Though, these have benefited from improved laser technology, making them more efficient and attractive than ever.

Rolls Royce hire

Here at Cars for Stars, we enjoy hiring our stunning Rolls Royce cars out to fellow car enthusiasts. So, if you like the idea hiring a Rolls Royce Ghost, Phantom, Silver Cloud to even the new Cullinan, get in touch.

With the British weather famously unpredictable, it arguably makes us more appreciative of the summer, making the most of the sunny spells. This is why in recent years, we have seen more and more of our customers hire luxury convertibles, wanting to travel in great cars and absorb the UK’s landscapes in style.

So, if you are whisking a special someone away on a road trip or want to treat a family member to the gift of car hire, below are a few convertibles to consider hiring.

Bentley Continental Convertible

Nothing beats being chauffeured around in a convertible, especially if it is a Bentley! This is why the Bentley Continental Convertible is incredibly popular during the summer months. With heated seats to counteract the sharp wind, this car offers travel perfection with each turn of the wheel.

Porsche Carrera Convertible

Porsche is a respectable car brand that everyone admires. This is especially the case when it comes to the Porsche Carrera Convertible; a luxury droptop that garbs the attention of all.

Lamborghini Gallardo

Looking to make a real entrance to an event? If so, be sure to explore the show-stopper that is the Lamborghini Gallardo. Being fast, light and coming in a variety of loud colours, this is a car that is understandably in demand for summer weddings, birthday parties, proms and much more.

Self-drive convertible hire

Though being driven by a chauffeur driver is the ultimate form of luxury, many car enthusiasts like to get behind the wheel and feel the engine roar themselves. This is why we are highly in demand for our self-drive car hire solutions, allowing customers to really enjoy the cars they hire to the utmost.

At Cars for Stars, we love nothing more than hearing about rare cars. This is why we were understandably thrilled to learn of a rare Bentley being discovered. Kept in a garage for over thirty years, this car was owned by a former Lancaster Bomber pilot.

Boasting an interesting backstory, the car was owned by Charles Blackham. This is a man that played a part in the 1955 raid on Hitler’s hideaway in the Bavarian Alps. Known as ‘The Eagle’s Lair’, it’s safe to say that this Bentley owner played a key role in world history.

Having rusted away in a lockup in Stockport, the car has now been given a new lease of life, being sold at auction for an attractive £454,250.

The Bentley

The Bentley was driven around by Blackham for over 36 years before the car became too old and was taken off of the road. Being just one of six ever made, the auction house was overjoyed to list this unique 2.4 litre sports car. However, they initially put the 1936 Bentley on with a guide price of between £150,000 and £200,000, not expecting it to fetch double that!

Branded a wonderful ‘barn find’, can you believe that it was initially bought or under £300?

As made obvious by many of our previous blog posts, we are pretty darn obsessed with Rolls Royces; a British car brand that boasts a long history of making spellbinding vehicles.  

Building strong affiliations with their customers, the Rolls Royce team are renowned for paying care and attention to purchasers, creating dream cars that speak to the individual needs of their customers.  

Just this week, Rolls Royce launched a new ‘Bespoke Programme’ at the Geneva Car Show, said to be taking the subject of customisation to the next level.  

With the success of the Cullinan giving Rolls Royce their best sales year ever, it quickly became apparent that their customers want cars that are bespoke.  

This new programme will extend their offering of customisation to ALL cars within their range. This include the prestigious Black Badge collection.  

How does it work? 

Rolls Royce are now promoting an infinite amount of trims, colour and material combinations as part of this promotional push, putting the customer well and truly in charge of what the end result of their car will be.  

The big unveiling  

Showing off their incredible abilities, Rolls Royce showcased the first customised Cullinan at the show. Named ‘Unimaginatively’, the car sported a Navy Blue and Oatmeal colour scheme fully fitted with rear facing seats perfect for sipping champagne on.

When scrolling through the Cars for Stars website, you quickly see that we have a variety of Jaguars on offer; cars that are commonly used to chauffeur brides, businesspeople prom kings/queens and the likes!

From the wonderful E Pace to the XJ and the stunning XJ8, there is not a Jaguar that we do not like.

And, it appears that Jaguar is looking to add to their already-incredible fleet. Just this week, the brand announced that it was working on a new, two-door coupe, extending its sport-focused collection.

Where most manufacturers are focusing on the SUV market, Jaguar want to stay true to their routes. While their focus has been on SUVs of late, this new coupe hopes to redefine Jaguar as the sports carmakers they are famous for being.

Director of Design, Ian Callum, is thrilled to release images and further details of this new coupe, feeling it do the Jaguar brand justice.

“There will always be a Jag two door coupe in the line-up because that’s the story of what we’re about, and you can’t build a brand without a story,” he says.

“So yes, a two-door coupe is essential to the brand. The volumes may not be high but we will build two-door sports cars and the rest will grow from that.”

At Cars for Stars, we are one of the nation’s largest suppliers of limo hire, renting out various makes, models and sizes for all sorts of celebratory occasions and purposes.

As a result, we hold a responsibility to offer high-end, quality limos to each and every one of our customers. This is why each  limo provider that joins our network needs to provide us with reassurance of quality. Vetted by our team, the people we work with HAVE to provide us with proof of correct licensing and various other documentation.

However, not all businesses operating in the private hire space are as safety-conscious as us.

According to a recent news article, a limo from Surrey has been ceased. This happened when the limo broke down carrying a hen party, seeing the authorities offer their assistance at the roadside. However, it was when the police moved the stretched white limousine to a safe environment that the apparent faults with the vehicle’s licensing were revealed.

The SRPU post read:

“Earlier we received reports of a broken down Limo carrying a hen party. Officers arrive to find the Limo and moved it to safety.

“Checks revealed no excise licence paid since December 2014. Questions around insurance too. Vehicle seized #nowearereallypoliceofficers.”
