I had a 1948 example with the slightly smaller 4.25 Litre engine, in Silver. In 1948 in the UK that was the fastest car you could walk into a showroom and actually buy. 98 MPH and I did it just to prove Bentley wern't lying. They weren't and nothing broke. On the A23 between Gatwick airport and Brighton if your'e interested. Great news she is still on the road today.
I fully agree. Much better to hear someone talking about the car then hearing the engine and the car driving, like all enthusiasts I certainly do, especially for a potential buyer it's as good to hear it as see it. Mind you, since the cars driver didn't even look left before he pulled out very narrowly missing the other car, there might not have been a car left to sell.
Where are the cocktail cabinets? I saw two picnic tables and that was it. Would have been nice to see the body of the car too. All in all a shite video.
There's only one thing wrong with this beautiful Rolls Royce - other than the fact that it needs me in the driver's seat (I WISH!!) - it needs slim line whitewalls which would set it off perfectly. Other than that, it is perfection on wheels. MANY thanks for sharing and take care.
So what's it worth? 3 or 4 thousand? If offered you should take it. soon you may not be able to give it away and get stuck with a disposal fee. We were warned, you will own nothing and like it. FJ O'biden & Dems.
I had an auto mk1, I went to look at a manual mk1 in white, it had been made available for (I think) prince Michael to have a track test in it, it came with a letter stating this and saying unfortunately hrh was not going to buy it.
It's not the snob factor in owning one of these. My opinion they are a work of art, the designer, the craftsmen/coachbuilder their art, producing such a highly desirable product.
