Importing a Rolls-Royce

A Rolls-Royce is globally renowned for its unparalleled luxury, serene driving experience and timeless presence. Models such as the Phantom, Ghost, Wraith, Cullinan and the fully electric Spectre are only available in limited numbers in the Netherlands, which is why many enthusiasts choose to import their Rolls-Royce from abroad. Availability is often greater, prices can be more attractive and certain specifications are only accessible through parallel import.

SCL Rotterdam offers a complete import service for your Rolls-Royce: from transport and customs clearance to technical conversion, inspection and Dutch registration.

Popular Rolls-Royce models

SCL Rotterdam supports the import of both classic Rolls-Royce models and modern versions. Popular requests include:

• Rolls-Royce Phantom: the ultimate flagship of Rolls-Royce, often chosen as an executive or ceremonial vehicle, offering maximum space, luxury and personalization options.
• Rolls-Royce Ghost: slightly more compact than the Phantom, yet still an exceptionally luxurious limousine, popular with entrepreneurs and chauffeur services seeking a true “driver & driven” experience.
• Rolls-Royce Wraith: the sporty coupé in the lineup, combining Rolls-Royce comfort with a more dynamic design and powerful performance.
• Rolls-Royce Cullinan: the luxury SUV, ideal for clients who want a high seating position, all-wheel drive and off-road capability without compromising comfort or refinement.
• Rolls-Royce Spectre (electric): the fully electric coupé, appealing to buyers seeking zero-emission driving while retaining the unmistakable Rolls-Royce character.

For modern Rolls-Royce models, regulations related to CO₂ emissions, BPM tax and technical requirements play a significant role. For classic models, the focus is on preservation, transport safety and classic-car exemptions. SCL Rotterdam understands the requirements per model and production year and ensures full compliance with European regulations.
