$1.4 Million Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe gets Soaked in Australia

|

We don't know what's more annoying about this video that shows a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe in Adelaide, Australia, with its top down being drenched in rainwater, reportedly for at least half an hour: the careless owner that didn't come out to see what was going on or the indifferent bypassers whose only concern was to film the spectacle.

According to news reports from Australia, the convertible Rolls-Royce, which costs upwards of AU$1.35 million, the damages to the car's interior from the rain may cost the owner as much as AU$100,000. Watch the rainy clip in the video after the jump.

Will be interesting to see the follow-up whether insurance actually pays on this one?

"...or the indifferent bypassers whose only concern was to film the spectacle." - author of this article, what did you expect from bypassers? would you take your shirt off and cover a seat? or would you try to find an owner?

For a car that expensive, if it detects rain with the windscreen rain sensors it should automatically close the roof. I know my VW does that...

"indifferent bystanders"....its_just_a_car! From the weird picture the author draws up here, one would expect this story to be about a puppy being beaten up. Please get a grip on reality.

Although there is no real excuse for this, 
in today's day and age, all that money, cost and effort, 
and RollsRoyce could not equip the car with a moisture sensor, 
that could activate the ELECTRIC roof to open and cover up in an event like this?
