I don't think your film does it justice for 210k euros, I can't see where the value is personally.

Looks lovely - I have a real soft spot for the RR Classic - I would love to own one in the metallic gold colour they did in the early '90's, but just can't justify it. Yours looks like a very unmolested example.

Although should also be in the bad parking thread smile

Which airfield is it?

Hi

It's at Goodwood. It's pretty original and I have just had the bodywork and suspension overhauled and the body off the chassis to sort out any corrosion and get it all waxoyled

Apologies, have been away.

Yes, it is a Toylander although it was professionally built so I can't take credit for it!!

Part of me wishes I'd never sold the old beast, but I couldn't have afforded to bring it up to that standard. Well done, looks lovely. Does it still have the 3-speed Torqueflite transmission, and the acceleration of a slightly lame sloth on Valium?

Hi there 230!

Thanks for your compliments and, yes, it still has it's torqueflite gearbox which is slower than a very slow thing that has contracted arthritis

I'm guessing that's for practicality as much as anything else. I like driving a black one in the UK but wouldn't fancy it as much somewhere hot!
