Rolls Royce Phantom Extended for Export from Dubai

Rolls Royce Phantom Extended for export from Dubai: the long car built for the back seat

The Rolls Royce Phantom Extended is the long-wheelbase Phantom, and the one fact that decides its worth is where it adds length: all of it goes behind the front seats. A standard Phantom is already a big car, and the Extended gives rear passengers still more room to stretch out. Anyone considering a Rolls Royce Phantom Extended for export from Dubai is therefore choosing a car for the person in the back, and the cabin condition counts for more than the engine.

The sellers on this page are verified UAE owners and dealers, with cars offered for sale to overseas buyers. A buyer who wants an Extended Phantom for use within the Emirates can find them on the used Rolls Royce Phantom Extended page for Dubai.

Which Phantom Extended: the VII, the VIII and the later Series II

Rolls-Royce has built an extended wheelbase Phantom in both of its modern generations. The Phantom VII Extended arrived in 2005 and continued until 2017. The Phantom VIII was introduced in 2017, with an extended version alongside the standard car from the start, and its Series II update followed in 2022.

The VIII Extended is about 22 centimetres longer than the standard VIII, with all that length in the wheelbase. The VII Extended also added length, though its exact figures differ. Whichever you look at, the seller should state the generation and the body length clearly.

Some owners and sellers call an Extended car a long-wheelbase car or EWB. The registration document may use different wording, so compare the dimensions listed on it. If they match the standard car and the listing says Extended, ask why.

A genuine Extended also shows in the photographs. Look at the length of the rear door against the front door, and at the space behind the rear wheel arch. If you cannot tell from the pictures, ask for a photograph of the car beside a standard Phantom or a measured side view.

What the extra length is for

The long Phantom exists for the rear seat. The additional wheelbase gives more legroom and, on many cars, a more upright seating position, and owners often specify details such as a partition between the cabin and the front, individual rear seats with a central console, and fold-out tables. The rear doors are also longer, which makes it easy to step in and out.

These features differ from car to car, and they are the reason a pair of Extended Phantoms can look alike and be worth different amounts. Ask for a description of the rear arrangement, and ask for photographs from the back seat looking forward and back.

The driving experience is calm in either length.

Rolls-Royce built these cars for a refined ride rather than speed, and the long body adds to the sense of calm. It also means the car is heavy on tyres and brakes, so ask for the wear figures on both. The Extended is long enough that parking and tight streets become an effort, so a buyer in a city with narrow roads should think about how it will be used.

Owners who are driven will find the long car superb for the work. Owners who drive themselves may find the standard Phantom a better fit, so decide which kind of owner you or your customer is before you pay for length you will not use.

Engine and gearbox in the Extended Phantom

The VII Extended uses the naturally aspirated 6.75 litre V12 that powered the early Phantom, and in later cars an eight-speed automatic. The VIII Extended uses a twin-turbo version of the same capacity, with more power and torque, and its automatic gearbox reads navigation data to choose the right gear.

Both are smooth, quiet engines tuned for ease rather than speed. The extra length adds weight, which Rolls-Royce offsets with air suspension. That suspension is the part worth testing hard, because it carries more mass in the Extended than in the standard car.

Listen for a compressor that runs a lot, look at how the car sits after standing overnight and ask for the suspension records. A service on an older car that included the bellows and the compressor is a good sign.

The rear doors are heavy and the closing mechanism is powered, so open and shut each one several times. Uneven gaps or a slow motor can indicate wear or a past knock.

What sets the price of a Phantom Extended for export

The generation draws the main line. A VIII Extended sits in a far higher bracket than a VII Extended, and a Series II adds to that. Rear specification comes next: a partition, individual seats, picnic tables, a rear entertainment or refrigerator option can all add value.

Mileage and service history are another factor. A car used mainly as a passenger car often has lower wear on the driver's seat and steering wheel but more on the rear seats and doors. Look at the leather and the rear carpets.

A photograph of the headliner is useful as well. Phantoms are often ordered with a starlight headliner, and a car with sagging fabric or missing lights is a repair that has to be priced in.

Finally, there is the cost of shipping. The Extended is among the longest saloons on the road, so freight quotes can run higher than for a standard Phantom. Ask the forwarder to price this exact car by its measurements.

Some ports and roll-on roll-off terminals have length limits on the vehicles they accept, so tell your forwarder the exact figure early. A quote on the wrong dimensions can change by the time the car reaches the quay.

Insurance during transit scales with value, and a high-value car needs cover that names the VIN. Ask your forwarder what the policy covers and what it excludes.

Gulf-specification Extended Phantoms and imported ones

A Gulf-specification Extended Phantom is built for the region's heat and has a history on record with the regional importer. Because many Extended cars are bought as passenger cars, the history often shows fewer owners and regular dealer service.

Some Extended Phantoms in the UAE came from other markets, and their lights, speedometer units and equipment may differ. Check the VIN to learn where each car began. The rear equipment can also differ, since options are specific to the order.

Support after the sale is the question that matters at the other end. A Rolls-Royce dealer or specialist must handle the air suspension, the rear electronics and any partition. Find one before you buy, and ask what they would charge for an inspection.

Spare parts for the rear cabin, such as the fridge, the tables and the screens, are model-specific, so ask the dealer for lead times. A part that takes two months to arrive can leave a car off the road for as long.

How to buy a Phantom Extended in Dubai for export

Learn the destination rules first and write them down. Age limit, emissions requirement, steering side and the paperwork the port expects will decide whether a car is worth looking at. Make sure the rules cover a car of this length, as some ports have size limits.

Pick from the cars offered by verified UAE sellers and deal with them directly. This site is a car marketplace, so we add no commission and we do not inspect, ship, document or guarantee anything. The deal itself is struck with the seller.

Ask for the registration document, VIN, service history and build sheet. Request photographs of the rear cabin, the partition if there is one, the underside and the wheels. A mechanic's inspection is wise. Confirm in writing who cancels the UAE registration and issues the export papers.

Hire a forwarder with experience of long, heavy cars and confirm the sailing method, the insurance and the details on the bill of lading. Hand over a deposit only against a written agreement that names the car and its VIN, and pay the balance once the documents are in your hands.

Keep copies of the inspection report, the sale agreement and the export papers together. If anything is queried at the port, you will want to answer straight away.

Age limits, emissions and what to ask before paying

An Extended Phantom VII from the mid-2000s may be too old for some destinations, while a VIII is young enough for most. Ask which date the authority counts from and which document proves it.

Emissions need checking, because a large V12 can attract high charges. Ask the authority and a forwarder who knows the port.

All UAE cars are left-hand drive, so a market that registers only right-hand-drive vehicles cannot take this car.

Before paying, ask whether the car is clear of finance and fines, whether the registration matches the VIN, whether it has had accident repairs, which generation it is and whether it is truly the extended body. Ask about the partition and the rear electronics, which are costly to fix.
