Velvet Rolls Royce spotted outside Harrods in Knightsbridge

It's not just humans that are feeling the effects of the Big Freeze, it seems. Cars, apparently, are also getting their fur coats on in London.

Shoppers have taken to Twitter to share pictures of a velvet-covered Rolls Royce that's been spotted outside Harrods.

The £300,000 Rolls Royce Phantom has been wrapped in a black velvet film.

One Twitter user called Chris uploaded a picture of the car, writing: "Velvet Rolls Royce parked outside Harrods in London this morning."

According to the Mirror, the look was created by Velvet Car, a French company that specialises in luxury films and accessories, and the service involves 'wrapping' the cars in a weather-resistant fibre.

The Daily Mail adds that is can come in a number of colours, including bright pink, and will last roughly for around three years.

While some were obviously very impressed with the very expensive car and its 'coat', other were less so.

According to the Standard, Reece Cassidy tweeted: "If you decide you need a velvet Rolls Royce in your life you officially have more money than sense."

Another Twitter user wrote: "Hope it gets covered in bird sh**!"
