An old friend of the family runs a wedding car hire business and has a old roller with an open cab front and enclosed rear, has isolator type swith gear on the dash.

Chassis number is 002 or 007 I really cant rember, he hads a paint/body shop business and allways gets the car hand rubbed down everty year and gives it a repaint

No idea what model it is but loks similar to this. nut as mentioned the front cab is open.

yes, anything Mansory are likely to do has got to be tacky.

..... and yes, they're incredible value for money. I bought my Bentley Mulsanne Turbo for £4050 off ebay. Running costs are, well, high. Apart from the fuel efficiency (which I've resolved never to measure), the parts prices are a bit steep.

I'm currently doing a full suspension and hydraulics rebuild - the front suspension alone needs 12 separate bushes, the cheapest of which is £59. the rear "donuts" are £225 each ( 4 required )

Still, I maintain that it's definitely worth the money - even if I've had the worst ever day at work, by the time I'm at the car park gate on the way home, I'm in a great mood. And money just can't buy that.

p.s. since bought a Silver Shadow, too  ::)

The price for the double headlight conversion parts was certainly sobering :-?

The thing that I can't understand is that they make it appear so easy. ;D

That's because they cut out all the cursing and swearing, and all the cars that turn out to be such rust buckets they aren't worth bothering with. ;)

yes, it's definitely well staged.

you can do the twin headlamp conversion for about a grand if you try really hard and use secondhand stuff.

Even I agree that it looks better.

but I'll still not be doing it, even if it's just because every other one has had it done.

i think with bentleys and rollers the best thing to do is get the best cheapest one,if you can't do the work yourself or like paying for paint welding etc etc your gonna make a bad car reasonably better when you could just find a cracker and knock a chunk off and relax knowing you got a good car needing nothing and the last well funded owner paid all the big bills before you bought it.
