Under thread budget and I can't link directly but with this car, the right girl, the right dog and village cricket near a good pub on a summer's day... life wouldn't get much better.

Delightful. I'd still prefer the Fiat though.

Agree about the colours. Splendid.

But were I to add a Bentley to the fleet it'd have to be an S2. And one of those is way beyond the reaches of this or the much unloved 5-20 thread.

Needs must, old chap. Needs must ...

I like that for some reason. Especially the wheels

Are they a custom set - they look a bit like the R129 launch 15 hole wheel welded to a dish rim. Quite fetching, actually.

Made by Lorinser.

I agree, lovely car. Very purposeful.

Quite right. And a splendid stop gap it would be too, I'm sure.

Proper bargeing.

This Stunning Rolls Royce represents fantastic value as I had over 20K spent on the car

That's me out

Such generous photography

Feel free to grab a brew as it loads. I think it must be hosted from home on the end of an old DSL line.

Had the previous owner driven it more that 200 miles a year he probably wouldn't have just had to spend £20k on it.
I know it's a Spirit, but I rather like this one.

Quite a contrast from the previous leviathons, but I really like these.

Slightly grotty MOT history but colour, miles and history make it worth the titivation?

Oooo yes!

(I remember the days when an E-type was just a poor man's GT6)

I love a GT6.

Funnily enough my Dad and I were looking at one at a car show last weekend. Just a few cars down from it was a Vauxhall Cresta 3.3 PB. My Dad was telling me a story of how when he was a young lad my Grandfather had a Cresta 3.3 PB that was ex-Wiltshire Police and was fitted with an over-sized calibrated speedometer.

They were driving along the M4, which at the time started just west of Newport, with my Grandmother, Father and Aunt (then children) all on board. My Grandfather, who loved driving but was not an avid follower of new cars, asked my Dad

"what's the sitting behind us, lad?"
"That's one of those new Triumph GT6"
"What engine have they got?"
"Two litre six"
"How fast can they go?"
"One hundred and six"
"Okay"

...and proceeded to put his foot down. Regularly asking my Dad "how fast are we going now boy?" as my Dad watched this giant speedo needle slowly creeping up... 104...105...106... and all the while this Triumph GT6 was sat behind them, not gaining nor losing any ground!

Imagine how disappointing it would have been that your lovely new sports car couldn't pass an old Vauxhall with a family of four on board!

That must be a scam, or there's something wrong with it. That's far too cheap. If genuine, someone needs to get it bought asap.

on his website under 'project,parts & daily drivers' so could be good with room for improvement, or utter gash.

[bob-lad]

Either way, it's sold now.
