Filed under: Sedan , Etc. , Rolls-Royce , Russia , Luxury When a custom-tuned Rolls-Royce Phantom dubbed the “Centurion” showed up on eBay Motors three years ago, the seller wrote it “will become one of the most historically significant Rolls Royce Phantoms of recent times.” In response, our own Alex Nunez replied, “We tend to agree, as bad things do make history.” It appears that when the Centurion met history, they didn’t get along: that’s the car above, abandoned next to railroad tracks in the Russian suburbs. Even if the Centurion was ugly, it’s still a Phantom, and one would think it would be worth something more than a lonely death down by the tracks.
