It's what his main business is. Landies and Rangies. He buys the odd Bentley for himself, drives it for a while and moves them on
Unless I'm missing something more sinister.
Swingers party ?
Could be risky with the keys in the fruit bowl
Well, I know which set I'd be going for!

Whaaaaffft. Mine was one of the last proper straight 6's. Loved it.Yeah my Daimler Sovereign XJC was the same but very enjoyable
Nearly lost it on Gorges du Loup, Provence. Front driver wheel over the edge. Those suspension crowns were sturdy. The last scene of 'The Italian Job' was tame in comparison. Gently rocking. 3 French chaps, Jacqueline in the back for ballast and a couple of planks sorted it.
Quite steep Les Gorges.
Nearly had a V12 XJS. But the dampness down my trouser leg on opening the bonnet put me off.

Ha. Huge bonnet concealed a mass of pipes and engine. Thought of bills brought on spontaneous reaction.
It was divine though. Creamy power and gorgeous sound climbing a hill near hear

That's probably why manufacturers hide everything under plastic covers today
One look at all that and they'd never sell a car

Nice one Chris, you've got some balls mate I'll give you thatTBH that was the feeling on both the Maseratis. Once you get bedded in, it tends to reduce (IME at least) Still quaking in my boots here. Give me 6 months and I'll be getting it chipped

Discs and pads and a couple of rear tires coming up in the spring then!
