I've had my car for 3 weeks now, and I still haven't got around to getting a nice key ring. The previous owner sent me on my way with a plastic tag with the car details (he had a small collection), so in the meantime I had some fun whilst I decide on a keyring.
It's kinda grown on me, and a great conversation starter... Stranger: "Heh nice keyring. What's it for?" Me: "'76 Rolls Royce" Stranger: "No way! Cool!"

No idea why but my keyring has multiple key fobs attached with either Bentley or Rolls Royce badges. Also have a set of gold wings with the flying 'B' as a keyring but just use it for decoration! How sad is that? I must get around to sorting them out but, I quite like them all so choosing is tricky  |

Hi Jeff My car came with quite a fancy keyfob:
But here's a thing. The keyfob and central locking fob are relatively heavy and so put unnecessary weight on the ignition switchbox. For that reason I do not use it and opt for the much lighter keyfob supplied by FS as shown in David's link. When you are selecting your keyfob, pay attention to it's weight. Geoff |

I laser etched the design into an old piece of horse tack. |

Michael, Where did you find that? Patrick, what came with the car was a piece of hardboard with "rolls" written on it in marker. I thought it was ironic but really... cardboard??! |

Mine's a rather drab piece of plastic whose chief benefit is a slim fit in the front pants-pocket.

Hi Guys I usually go for this type of generic keyring since anything heavier can damage the dashboard or leather as the car is in motion. I then stick the car logo onto it - as you can see, I haven't found an ideal RR one yet!
