Amazing!

Rolls Royce have managed to make a car that looks like a Chinese knock off... of a Rolls Royce.

Looks like what you'd get from rear ending a Rolls with a 911 and running out of filler halfway through blending the bits together.

The sort of think Lewis Hamilton or some wealthy yank rapper would own.

For the more dignified approach you can pick up a usable old Silver shadow for less than £10,000.

Rolls Royces were always bought by people needing to show off their cash.

True....but old money would usually display it's wealth in a slightly understated manner.

In 2024 RR cars appeals more to wealthy brash tasteless celebs and chavs.

If it is extremely rare, as I imagine it will be, it may go up in value.

Are you now ready to put your order in? ::) ::)

A sub £10,000 Shadow will only look like a car. A very scruffy, rusty one with expensive(everything is expensive on a Shadow) mechanical faults. It's a pity, because a good one drives like a large American car that was built properly ::)

It's a bit tacky.


It might suit a wealthy black pimp with a stable of white girls to farm out. ::)
