With the 2015 Rugby World Cup underway in England, its only fitting that one of the nation’s renowned automakers pays tribute to sport’s history. Rolls-Royce has unveiled a special “History of Rugby” edition of its Wraith model created by the company’s bespoke customization division. The luxury vehicle is given a stunning white paintjob along the exterior, a nod to the jerseys of the Rugby School in Warwickshire where William Webb Ellis laid the foundations of the sport all the way back in 1823, a green coachline and a red rose that is the most recognizable symbol of English rugby.
