She was originally a he called 'Roger' as called by many of the previous owners. Including the last one, Colin, from Sutton Coldfield. I have a list of them all (names and addresses) with the bought and sold mileage alongside each from new. I’m sorry but I didn’t think she suited ‘Roger’ and is now referred to as ‘The Old Girl’

Hand cranking was indeed a laugh but the engine was such low compression I think it only produced 90hp . 2008 MY Supercharged

Had 1984 V8, with tan cloth upholstery, automatic, sunroof and the same alloy wheels. Didn't get to use it much but when I did drive it for the first time (at night on a dirt road with NO street lights or other lights anywhere near me) the light switch failed (made by Lukas : The Inventor of Darkness) and the rest of the drive was very "interesting"

You see, that's what a RR should be. No blink, just understated elegance following function. |

As the L322 was cleaned yesterday I thought I'd tag a picture onto this thread.

Wow, brings back wonderful memories! I used to deliver new RR classics to their owners and collect and return them from their first free 1000mile service from 1989 to around 1991 aged 18... Imagine how i loved my job!
