Not too long-ago Flying Spares was contacted by a renowned British contemporary artist about the possibility of borrowing a Rolls-Royce to use as part of an art installation he had been commissioned to create for Glastonbury 2024. Having previously supplied the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow that featured on the iconic Oasis album ‘Be Here Now’ we were naturally interested, especially as it gives the car a fitting swan song in the spotlight.
Picture this: a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II, but not just any Shadow. It had been transformed by renowned contemporary artist Hayden Kays into a piece of art. The car's exterior is a canvas. The installation presents a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II adorned with hundreds of penalty charge tickets, fitted with a parking clamp and ‘H4YDEN K4Y5’ personalised number plates.
Glastonbury isn’t just about music; it's a melting pot of culture, creativity, and expression. It’s a place where boundaries blur, and new ideas are born. The installation has been a hit with festivalgoers. People were lining up to get a closer look, snap selfies, and soak in the luxe-meets-art vibe. The juxtaposition of muddy wellies and a pristine Rolls-Royce creates a quirky contrast that’s pure Glastonbury.
