While talk is mostly of the economy being down in the doldrums, you might find it interesting to hear that Rolls-Royce sold more cars in 2012 than in any year before it. A whole 3,575 of them, an increase of 38 over the year before. This makes us very excited about the 2013 Rolls-Royce Phantom in which there were originally fewer than 400 workers on staff responsible for hand-building the big cruisers. Now in 2013, the plant boasts over 1,400 craftsmen to making this car perfect, with 100 of those positions added in 2012 alone.
