A brave billionaire casually parked his $30 million Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail luxury car on a random London street to go shopping.
Instagram posts have shown the one-of-a-kind Rolls-Royce parked outside in London, with its owner deciding to go shopping.
A luxury car like the Rolls-Royce will always create a stir, and even more so when it’s a unique, one-of-a-kind car that happens to cost a small fortune.
Naturally, plenty of passers-by were gawping at the car and in awe of just how incredible this unique Rolls-Royce looked.

The Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail was casually parked up
Images on Instagram show the luxury car parked up in London as if it is just another daily driver.
Instagram user Tfjj shared videos and photos of the La Rose Noire Droptail, and we can see pedestrians in awe of the luxury coupe.
Tfjj claims that it belongs to the same person who owns the striking Rolls-Royce Boat Tail recently spotted in Dubai.
This particular luxury car is estimated to be worth $30 million.
The car itself is particularly special, as a fully hand-built commission and one of just four Droptail models.
In fact, this is the first of those four, with all four of them having pretty high values.
What makes this luxury car so special?
The British company took inspiration from the Black Baccara rose when creating this coupe.
It has deep, pomegranate red paint called True Love, which has five layers of clear lacquer.
Rolls-Royce tinted each layer differently to create the gorgeous shimmering finish we can see in photos.
The chassis for the car is bespoke, and the bodywork is unique to this particular Boat Tail.
Up front, there is a modern reinterpretation of the original Pantheon grille.
The front also has slim headlights, while at the back, there are vertical taillights and a floating spoiler.
Even better for those who love open-top driving is the fact that the car comes with a removable hardtop.
It took Rolls-Royce over five years to build the La Rose Noire Droptail.
There genuinely is no other car in the world quite like the Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail.
