I went through all that and you end up coming back round to a fatty...

^^^^ Ah, once you start down that path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

I looked long and hard at the Bentley, I'd of had the Flying Spur but in the end it's the all round package that the fatty is that stole the day...

Hey Pete, what a testament to the RR to say you chose it over a Bentley |

I thought about Jags, Bentleys, Mercs but after I tested a 4.4TDV8 I was smitten.

Only G class I would have is a 2020 AMG G63, but even then the ride for daily driving isn't great. I had one in milletary spec as my official vehicle, and for that purpose it was much better than the LaRo it replaced; much faster, more capable offroad, and way better on the road. But compared to anything else it is still pretty |

This is almost unanimous for the 4.4 tdv8, but I guess I am asking in a place where that was always likely |

Yes and even as a diesel. That twin turbo 350d is very refined, only a V6. Down on power and torque; only has 255Hp with 620Nm torque versus the 4.4tdv8 but feels much more agile and faster allround in my opinion. Even more so with active cornering suspension. Worth taking a look at.

^^ Yes, I just had a look at a few online and as much as I do like a Merc and the Merc interiors, they were not as nice as the RR interior.

My last L322 was a TD6 2004 i thought it was a great car best i had driven + Owned even though i had to cough up for a GB!! we still loved it. went from that to a Navara V6 and the day we drove away both the wife and i missed the RR immediately. Any how some good fortune nearly 2 years down the road and the Navara price actually went up!! so we sold it.

I did not get more than i paid for the car that would have been great!! but i got the car valued in March 2020 (We buy any car) and a few months later they sent me an updated valuation it had gone up by £1500!! go figure.
