I would love it, what does that say about me?

Nothing we didn't already know.

Go on have one of these.

It's like a onesie made from the metaphorical pyjamas of a wänked out (sic) Rangie and a caravan.

Your forgetting the lovely sink in the centre console. Saves you wiping your knob on the curtains....

I thought only the Welsh did that?

I'm half Welsh....

That's about as seedy as it gets.

Just think of all the filthy acts that will have taken place on those mattresses over the years'.

Hmm, how much is it?

Bumped into Jimmy outside broadcasting house years ago (mid 70's) with some mates,he let us have a go on his cigar I seem to remember.
I would add that this is not repeat not a euphemism !

Blimey - I always thumb through father dearest's Practical Classics, and about 2 years ago this very same Rangie was for sale... for £1,500! I remember it clearly, it was with a dealer and was advertised month-in-month-out without being sold, for at least 6 months I think, gradually getting discounted. In desperation the dealer was even offering to fit some spare RR rear seats that he had lying around so it was more usable!

I was kinda tempted by it to tell truth. Reliability (and London parking options) aside, it would have literally been a Practical Classic with a quirky talking point to boot. The £10-15k value appreciation would have been pretty handy n'all...

Nothing quite as obvious as someone cashing in on a recent celebrity death!

The last one went for under £6k, I doubt this one will make much more.

It sold again in January 2011, I guess bought by the current owner.

I can't quite see how it's risen by £13,500 in a year, perhaps I'm missing something.

Er, he died!

[PeteLRO]

And that amounts to a £13,500 increase? His name has been on the log book since 1978...

No, it won't. Not a chance in hell.

He's hardly Elvis Presley is he?

The Yorkshire Michael Jackson possibly.
