paid 4k for spirit with full service history and 60k miles on the-- clock-bargain! mick-crashrepairman- - Thats an interesting example. Absolutely everyone in the know says that you cant buy a good one for less than £10k. Well done you lucky thing. |
i was offered an even nicer one, two weeks ago, a later fuel inj model
87 model, one company owner 60k miles with full history for £6k,
unfortunatly it was white with black leather.-didnt want a wedding
car!
suggest you talk to sales managers at prestige dealers, they dont know
what to do with these when they come in, mine came from a chrysler
dealer, and the second offer was from a lexus dealer.

(I am not concerned with MPG) They're a British, mass produced, car of the 1970s. And pushing 30. Do you REALLY think they're going to be reliable? If you really must - and I suppose from a BMW, a Rolls Royce is about the only way the nouveau-riché can go - then the pick of the bunch for reliability, image (though, I'm afraid no-one will know you're loaded instantly as they would with the Spirit of Ecstacy atop your grille) is the Bentley Eight - a "sportier" Mulsanne which was actually a little more basic, with a mesh grille, and aimed at the 40-something market. It is, I'm afraid, a Bentley and not a Rolls Royce (really, one feels Shadow/Spirit etc models are worthy of the title "Roller") - but it is often overlooked, and good value for the sort of car you're looking at. If you want British ambience, I think the later (mid 90s) Jaguar XJs offer better VFM. |
email me :-) It's done less than 20,000 miles.
