London, United Kingdom
Today’s podcast episode is an interview with James Rice, a car collector from Beverly Hills and owner of the very first Rolls Royce Phantom VIII delivered to the USA. To call him a car collector would actually do him a disservice, as he daily drives all cars from the Phantom VIII all the way down to a 1927 Phantom I! Show notes and images can be found at https://www.supercartribe.com/ep21 We start this episode talking about how he initially got into cars and how his first “proper” car was a Bentley Arnage he ordered with a bespoke spec from Bentley. We then talk about his Ferrari 488 GTB, a standard road car that has solely been purchased to drive on the track. Finally, we dive into his Rolls Royce collection which includes a Rolls Royce Phantom I, Phantom II, Phantom VII Drophead Coupe, and Phantom VIII! The Phantom I is a 1927 car from the era when Sir Henry Royce was making the cars. But unlike other cars that are over 90 years old, James Rice drives his car to works at least once a week. This involves a 60+ mile commute! Having previously also owned a Rolls Royce Ghost (modern version), he talks about what he loves and hates about the car. James compares it not only to his older cars and the Phantom VII Drophead Coupe but also to the build quality of the Bentley Arnage. We of course move on to his latest addition, the Rolls Royce Phantom VIII, the latest Phantom offered by Rolls Royce. We talk about what makes it the best car in the world, and about how he decided to purchase and spec the car. His Phantom was one of the first cars delivered around the world and the first in the USA. The car is stunning as you can see from the pictures. It was great speaking to James, and I would like to sincerely thank him for his time. Check it out by either listening from the player at the top of the page, or through the links below.

Episode Highlights Welcome to Episode 17 of the SupercarTribe Podcast! This is a solo episode after a 6-month break, which started with a legal challenge from Ferrari. I explain what caused them to take issue, and what we did following that to resolve the challenge. It’s the story of our last 6 months! It’s been a really stressful 6 months and one that I would definitely not want to repeat. As well as all the legal issues there have been countless technical issues we have been battling too. We could have given up months ago but I decided that I wanted to make this a real success, and I don’t start things to then give up when things get difficult! That’s just not me! What really amazed me and spurred me on though was the support and encouragement I received from this community. I have to say you all have been amazing, encouraging me to battle through and get the Podcast released again. It’s been really encouraging to receive so many emails and Facebook messages, so thank you! During the Podcast, I mentioned our YouTube channel. You can find it at https://www.supercartribe.com/youtube. Also, I mentioned that we have launched an online store, partnering up with Amazon. We have over 1000 products on our website, all of which are fulfilled by Amazon. Check it out at https://www.supercartribe.com/shop. We are always looking for ideas and feedback for things that are going well, and what could be improved. I’ll be the first to admit that my ideas are not always the best, so if you have any suggestions get in touch. Also, if you have any suggestions for Podcast or Vlog content (maybe you have an interesting story to tell), email me at info@supercartribe.com. Thanks for all the support. Now enjoy the Podcast!
