A purple velvet-covered Rolls Royce in Knightsbridge

This purple velvet-covered Rolls Royce was spotted parked in the parking lot at Knightsbridge in London. I can’t imagine that this is a terribly practical “paint job” — it is taken out only when the owner’s sure that it won’t rain or snow?

Apparently, this car’s been spotted in the finer parts of London over the past few months.
