To me the Corniche is a sublimely elegant car but I'd much rather have the Grosser.

Nah Zee ... Corniche every time (better still, neither car, just the money to be able to run one of them !).

Fantastic. I'd forgotten about that.

Rowan Atkinson - a bit of a petrolhead - was on telly once talking about cars he's had/got, and said he'd always aspired to owning a Merc 'Bigger' . As he was driving his new Grosser home he stopped at traffic lights and saw himself in a big shop window.
He thought ..... what a kn0b  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Despite being a classic car owner & fan they're both a bit far fetched for me. Gun to my head i'd take the Roller although the Merc was impressive. Clarkson called the Roller a Zephyr, i'd rather have a Mk2 or 3 Zephyr/Zodiac than either of them.

   And he was wearing green shoes so his opinion does'nt count!!! ;D :D

The merc is a little harsh in the eyes tbh.... the cornish would be my choice because I am an old fart at heart and it's the one place I would look good away from the boat smoking my pipe  ;D ;D ;D

I think they have some sort of interlock that means you can't take them out of Park until you're picked up the pipe from its' holder on the dash. ;D

I'm with you, TBH. The Merc. looks an awesome machine but it's just a little vulgar IMHO.
