Hi all,

I've just sold my RRS TDV8 (PaulB on RRSPORT.CO.UK) through We Buy Any Car.com and I'll be picking up my new RR Westminster next Tuesday. Baltic Blue with Ivory leather. Looking forward to it.

Hi,

Thank you.

After 7 years with RRS's, I actually wanted a "car" again and I was ready to by an Audi RS5, but my wife insisted that we "needed" a 4x4. I was going to wait for the new RR, but the offer on the Westminster was so good, I couldn't really refuse it. I'm sure it will be a great car, although I've only driven one a very short distance so far.

I'll stick with the Cobra for my "sports car" thrills.

Didn't you have an Aston for a while?

Hi

looking to sell my Scirocco and move to a bigger toy soon.

Hi slg welcome to the madhouse!!!

Hi All,

A proud new owner of a 2003 FFRR TD6 Vogue here, so just dropping in to say Hi.

I've been searching the net for some background to the FFRR and I have some knowledge gaps that you may be able to help me with please.......

TD6 - when a FFRR is referred to as a TD6, is that ALWAYS the 2926cc BMW engine? Or was the BMW 2993cc lump ever used later on?

Automatic gearbox - my understanding is that the early TD6 started life with a GM 'box. Did that change to a ZF later on or do all TD6's have the GM shifter? If it did change to ZF when? And how superior is it?

(I am aware that the V8 used the ZF from new)

All views welcome!

Cheers,

Hi SteveBedford, welcome aboard

TD6 always the 2926cc M57 BMW engine
TD6 always the GM 5L40E gearbox .

I took delivery of my new TDV8 Westminster on Tuesday. It's surprisingly different to my previous RRS TDV8 and much more refined, although I'm missing the V8 growl from my old Larini exhaust system.
The quality of finish is miles better and it is so much quieter and smoother.
Fuel consumption so far is about 4mpg better than the RRS in spite of being a bigger engine and car.
I'll take some pictures tomorrow and post them up.

Sorry Lloyd I didn't put 2 and 2 together.

I'd had RR Sports for 7 years and I was ready to replace the RRS TDV8, but they're no longer available as a TDV8 and I didn't want to go back to a TDV6.
I got a good deal on the Westminster as a run-out model. It's lovely to drive and the 4.4 TDV8 engine is a peach. Also, the quality of fit and finish is a few rungs up the ladder from the from the original RRS's.
