Cream Of The Classics?

[Richard A Thackeray]

As @biggs682 mentioned a classic car dealership in another thread, highlighting a 'Blower Bentley' that was for sale (& I preferred the Cobras, I had a look at the dealerships webpages


I know of it, by reputation, & compared to the £600,,000+ Aston Martins, this seemed quite a bargain
!!
Imagine turning up at a race/sportive, with the bike in this estate!!!

Old Rangies for £30k they must be barking!

 

[Drago]

My Ma's fiance has a proper Shelby Cobra. His winter car is a Grannada Scorpio 2.9 Cosworth, and his summer car is a Renault 25 V6 turbo which is unfeasibly mint. Never seen a salted road. This sort of thing doesn't get me very excited, but I'll snap some pics when I'm up in the week.

 

[NorthernDave]

That Roller looks horrendous.
And if I was spending £79k on a car I'd at least want one where the rear bumper was lined up properly.

I like the Rover P5b. If I could I'd have one, as well as a Triumph 2000, and an Austin Maxi, and maybe a TR7. I also like the Humber Super Snipe, and also the Alvis. Wasn't the Bentley Blower James Bond's favourite car in the books?

 

[biggs682]

Smail's are on a few of my route's and i always stop and have a look to see what they have in the showroom
must admit the rolls estate you linked @Richard A Thackeray would do for a bike carrier
sorry don't do Range Rovers would much prefer a proper Land Cruiser like this https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classi...AND CRUISER&make=TOYOTA&sort=price-asc&page=1

 

[screenman]

I have these topics, have been a very busy car dealer in the late seventies and eighties I have bought and sold a lot of these. For instance, paid £750 for my first Etype,

 

[Levo-Lon]

My dad had a beautiful P5b ,he'd have a fit if he knew what they make now!!

Great car in the early 70s

Nope!!!

Fully restored/original Rangies can go for BIG money
If memory serves, this went for £100,000+
But it is #00001

JaguarLandRover themselves, have got into the rebuild game

They recently sold a Range Rover (72/73?) for £80,000+

John Steed also drove one in 'The Avengers' (think Tara King era)

Have you seen the old Rangie that looks like it's taking root at the house on Lotherton Lane between Lotherton Hall and Aberford?
It hasn't moved in a long time and is slowly turning green as nature tries to reclaim it.

Place where I bought my Alfa Spider (Jap import) from was apparently importing as many early Rangies from Japan as they could find.

No!, I'll have to have a look

Japanese import Discoverys were going for big money in the early 2000s
Rust free, & 'pampered toys'
