It's a shame about the mileage but what a great car for the money! Just a paint job and a couple of subtle 'enhancements' and she'd be a right crowd pleasing waft mobile... I was looking after a Bentley Eight of the same vintage for around 8 months of last year for a good friend of mine which involved taking it out for weekly drives which was always a pleasure  Even though they are huge they are an amazing drive which is always an event.

Mileage doesn't matter on an engine that size. Things to look for is whats cooling system performing like and is the box changing gears properly.
That engine will run for ever if properly maintained.

...and the brakes, which are eye wateringly expensive. General consensus amongst mates when talking about Rollers and their expensive brakes would be that should anything go wrong, it would be a much more cost effective route to have Wilwood knock something up as replacements. |

Sounds about fair.
That said this car is such a bargain anyhow its a no brainer. Usual for sale thread/no money/hopeless response, but I would buy this if I had the money just so I could surprise neighbours and colleagues alike.
All those MUTHAFLIPPERS in their new German cars would just have to smoke my petrol fumes. YOLO etc.

Just fit a brake downgrade from an Austin Maxi.
Looks like a right bargain, I recon you'll have folk queuing up to get it off you.

I was actually referring to the resale value, not the mechanical condition.... It'll be barely ran in at that!! I'm tempting myself now..... ! |
