In the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger, which Rolls-Royce model is used by Auric Goldfinger?
Answer
Rolls-Royce Phantom III
Answer
Rolls-Royce Phantom III
In Goldfinger, Auric Goldfinger uses a Rolls-Royce Phantom III.
The large black luxury car appears in the scenes involving Goldfinger’s Kentucky stud farm and his meeting with James Bond. It suits the character’s image as a wealthy, powerful industrialist and contrasts with Bond’s more sporting Aston Martin.
The Phantom III was produced by Rolls-Royce from 1936 to 1939. It was the company’s first V12-powered model and was known for its substantial size, smooth performance, and coachbuilt bodywork. The film’s car is especially distinctive because it is associated with Goldfinger’s personal chauffeur, Oddjob.
Viewers sometimes identify it simply as a Rolls-Royce or confuse it with the later Silver Shadow. The specific model used in Goldfinger is the Phantom III, a pre-war V12 limousine rather than a post-war Rolls-Royce.
