Rolls-Royce Motor Cars heralds a colour palette with more than 44,000 options for the most discerning patrons. However, there is one client for whom the available options are not enough.
Renowned car collector Michael Fux has added another Bespoke colour to this palette with the addition of his 11th Rolls-Royce Motor Car commission to his personal collection.
The Rolls-Royce ‘Dawn in Fuxia’ is finished in a vibrant colour matched to a flower that Mr Fux found last year during his visit to Pebble Beach. He had just been presented with one of the first highly personalised Dawns in the world in his eponymous colour ‘Fux Blue.’ He then presented fuchsia petals from the Pebble Beach lawns to the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Design team with a challenge to them to create a second Bespoke Dawn. One year later, he returned to Pebble Beach to see the end result in a familial ceremony presented by Rolls-Royce.
In total, Mr Fux has commissioned 10 other Rolls-Royce vehicles, each highly personalised to his exact specifications.
In 2016, Mr Fux took delivery of his first Dawn finished in ‘Fux Blue’ with a stunning Arctic White interior. Other colours he has commissioned remain in the Rolls-Royce Colour Collection reserved exclusively for Mr Fux, which include Fux Fuxia, Fux Blue, Fux Intense Jade Pearl, Fux Aequus Green Jade Pearl, Fux Deep Purple, Fux Candy Red and Fux Yellow.
