My new Toy

Hi everyone,

My first post, I bought this RR last thursday, wow amazing car. I had a "classic 3.9 " for about 23 years then sold it. I think it was scrapped.

THis one is so different its a 4.2ltr supercharged.

I want to put side steps on so any advice on suppliers gratefully received.

Thanks

Looks good!

I have had mine for just over a year but been in the family for 8 years. Done 82k now and is still a lovely car to drive and to be driven in.

For what it is, I think it is reasonable on fuel. Just under 17mpg combined round town and went to Czech Republic last year and did 1800 miles with bikes on the back and was fully loaded and averaged 22mpg. Well pleased with that!

Enjoy Alex

Thanks,

22mpg average sounds pretty good Thumbs Up.

Its a perfect car for long journeys, when I collected it I did a lot of motorway driving, just seemed to float along.

Ive filled it up now with Shell V power, the engine seems to like it so ill keep using it.

Hi, I'm in Hertfordshire too.

Did you buy your car locally or did you travel far?

Car looks great!

Thanks,

I had to travel about 50-60 miles but well worth it.
