Her Madge [well nearly....]

[Rocket88]

Just bought this magnificence................first time I've ever bought a car that was massively under described as far as condition is concerned...............

[BL Bloke]

Lovely! 

[danthecapriman]

Now that is a proper car! Lovely!

[Wingz123]

Was it an Ebay purchase?

[Asimo]

I saw one just like that in Hereford last week!  Sore with myself for not u-turning and following it for a bit. (4litre / 3litre?)

 

[Rocket88]

4 litre.........yer actual Rolls Royce engine...not Ebay..............carandclassic website, and just down the road from me....does need steering box sorted out, apart from that, lovely. Underneath is bob on

[Rocket88]

Good article on the development of that engine in the Rolls Royce enthusiasts magazine. (For us out here, you have the car so don't need to read about it)

Looks better underneath than a new car.

I'd not be driving that in the snow.

Thanks for the links. Both go to Bulletin B318 for some reason, Easy enough to change an 8 to a 9 in the address bar of the browser though - about to read the second part now, tea in hand.?

[bunglebus]

That's a lovely old beastie!

[stuboy]

very madgestic

[Rocket88]

Not one of BL's greatest marketing triumphs.........a bit of an automotive dead end, bit like the Austin 3 litre, although a far more cohesive looking design.........

[paulplom]

Looks lovely. That underside is a dream. I find most cars on this forum are massively under described. You read the write up condemning it and expect a total shed, but the pictures afterwards always seem to be of a minter.

[Angrydicky]

That looks beautiful, great purchase!

[bangernomics]

That’s spankingly nice, well purchased and more pics.

Remember an article in practical classics a few years ago about these beasts, picnic tables? Walnut and waft.

[Rocket88]

Oh yes...much walnut, and well endowed in the picnic table department..............

[tooSavvy]

Did some bloke go to some effort making a 'kit' for PAS upgrade?

.... or was it for A90/110.

[Rocket88]

No, standard PAS box, which [typically] is a vastly over complicated box of gears , cams, seals, and other witchcraft, which apparently only three octogenarians in the known universe understand how to rebuild..........same box as in Rover p5, and, as you say, some A90/110 Farinas

[DaveDorson]

Well that's a lovely thing!

 

Well bought
