I Do Like Cars, Fast, Flashy Or Fun,

but the car below is not quite right,

the Geely Excellence, trying to look like the real deal below,

palace like background, silver lady on the bonnet, RR on the number plate,

beautiful interior, with its £250,000 price-tag, the Rolls-Royce Phantom has always been the preserve of the privileged few, but wait a minuet, this is NOT a Rolls Royce, costing just £30,000, the GE, which stands for Geely Excellence, appears to offer a ‘luxurious mobile palace’ for those on a much tighter budget, Chinese car companies have a reputation for copying foreign classics – sometimes leading to legal action,

Geely already has links with British icons, it builds taxis for London under licence, and it is one of the companies said to be considering buying out Britain’s Vauxhall and Germany’s Opel from the ailing U.S. parent company General Motors, which is on the brink of bankruptcy,

although Geely claims to be ‘re-inventing the classic’, it seems Rolls-Royce bosses disagree, they are consulting lawyers after seeing this Chinese-made car audaciously displayed just feet from the classic brand’s Phantom at the Shanghai Motor Show, ‘Our colleagues in Shanghai are taking a serious look at it,’ a spokesman said. ‘Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is very protective of its brand image and takes seriously any attempt to imitate its products, Rolls-Royce is currently keeping its options open and is in consultation with its legal advisers.’ now here is a question, if you had £30,000 to buy a car would YOU buy one of these or another car of the same value?
