Fabergé Greggs Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The vendor has produced a great 'stream of consciousness' description for the car redolent of Jack Kerouac or William Burroughs; perhaps they were speeding on cocaine at the time?

panhard65 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 For something that has cost a bloody fortune when new, and is supposedly the best car in the world ever, it definitely hasn't fared as well as some cheap shite I have owned - FFS - only 106,839 miles and it has that list of issues!For a neglected Rolls that isn't a bad list considering how over complicated these cars are. Certainly a bargain at the current price as the ad makes it sound really bad when it is just a few days work and probably about £500 in parts to get it back up to scratch, assuming he hasn't left out the fact it is rotten.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I've always found the Renner 9 and renner 11 to be about the dullest cars ever made. And yet, this poverty-spec white r11 2-door somehow looks flipping amazingly good, how is that? All cleaned up I reckon this would keep me entertained for hours looking at it. http://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/764978028.htm?ca=7_s Looking on LBC these 2-door jobs seem very rare indeed, in fact there are only 2 or 3 out of about 140 R11's for sale. This one is 1500€ which sounds a bit steep but its certainly got my juices flowing.

laser wheels Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I have honestly never even considered owning a Rolls Royce until now. Just look at it it... it's beautiful. It's hard to believe you can get so much car for so (relatively, in the great scheme of things) little. Quite possibly the best car interior ever. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROLLS-ROYCE-SHADOW-2-NICE-CONDITION-FULL-MOT-PX-WELCOME/221662373214?_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140328180637%26meid%3Dacbed3f992c74328b07ae989bc35d798%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D261753615697 dugong, Jim Bergerac, outlaw118 and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yesterday I dove a 360 mile round trip to collect this 944, which I won in the previous auction for it. I was presented a very tired old car, poor paint repair with over-spray on seals etc. The deal breaker was the car is described as "no rot" yet the roof was rotten above the windscreen with the paint work bulging for quite a long way, I rejected the car and the seller was angry and he says he will report me. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/porsche-944-drive-home-in-daily-use-/261759937083?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cf21baa3b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
