A 1962 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II, adorned with over a million Swarovski crystals is on display at the Four Seasons Hotel in Munich, Germany.

According to London’s Daily Mail, “from boot to bonnet, the classic automobile shimmers with all the colours of the rainbow thanks to the unique way the crystals refract the light.”

The blingcarnate Roller will be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to the ‘Help in Motion’ charity foundation. It helps drug addicts. After they did that car.

    Ugh.. it will probably sell to some idiot here in China. I see so many vehicles with these crystals glued all over them. They even had a mini Clubman with these crystals all over it. It's just tacky, I'm not sure it will ever look good. The fact that they did this to that beatiful car.. ugh even worse. Hopefully someone will strip it off and give it a color it deserves.

    When I first saw it I thought they were selling off the contents of the Liberace museum. But I think his had larger crystals, to better catch the light. Probably the only person who could pull it off.
