Rolls-Royce converted into mobile cellphone store in India

by Darren Murph, posted Dec 25th 2008 at 9:51PM

We've heard that this here Rolls-Royce has been rolling throughout India for a good while now, but it's just too absurd to not pass along. As you can clearly see above, this high-end automobile has been thoroughly abused with a paint can and a slew of decals, but it's easily the most unique cellphone store we've ever laid eyes on. We mean, who wouldn't be interested in buying a gently used handset out of the back of a Phantom?

Wonder what the folks at Rolls Royce would think of this...
Imagine a Phantom with Carphonewarehouse decal on the side... the horror...

I saw this car today (14/2/09) in one of the central suburbs of Mumbai and was awe-shocked to see a Phantom converted into a Sales Store. It was funny to see small kids peeping into the beautiful car with the eyes wide open wondering if they could go for a ride.
