From Portugal in 2000 after return from Le Mans, VM engine died soon after (without a miss)
Next a full restoration and 200 Tdi transplant - a truly bullet-proof RRC
Return to Le Mans in 2011 in full glory
And now in very god company, with 25 years of age and in my ownership for more than 18 consecutive years
(ready for Le Mans again)

Thanks
I drove it for a week or so and then sent it for a full restoration. Rolling chassis and full repaint, retrim and mechanical refurb.
The mirrors are fine once you get used to them, the overall vision out of the car is so good you can almost see all around behind you with peripheral vision and the rear view mirror, the A and B pillars are so slight.

I have had my RR Classic now for about 3 years and love it apart from the MPG but I only use her for towing the race car around. M plate 64k on the clock and working A/S still.
That is gorgeous and got me looking for a chrome bumper! Found one ... Think I'll stay black until I win the lottery Edited by jango on Wednesday 13th January 22:48

235s seem more common these days.
I'm having some issues getting my ali tailgate to stay shut. One side will but the other keeps coming undone. Not quite sure what to do but the old, and rusty, steel one always stayed shut.
Mine once it is shut stays shut but it does take some shutting on the one side. Always worried about slamming it too hard. Really must get around to cleaning and lubing the mechanism.I'm having some issues getting my ali tailgate to stay shut. One side will but the other keeps coming undone.

More questions - are the aluminium upper tailgates stiff enough, and are 205R16 tyres still the favoured choice on the standard alloys?
I have a replacement alloy tailgate on my 91 RRC I find I have to close it by pushing both lower corners shut, if I just use the handle it doesn't seal properly. also the heated rear window doesn't want to play anymoreGassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
