Henry our first Rolls-Royce Even though the car has cost me an arm and a leg and has not been good value for money (mainly because I bought so badly in the first place). I met Ray and Ian from the Real Car Company again at the 1998 National Annual Rally (at Cottesbrooke Park) and asked them about what had happened to car, they told me that a customer had bought a Bentley T1/T2 ? Even though I still don't like the look of the Silver Shadow, I have concluded that as it gives such a good drive, has every form of comfort that I want and suited me very well, I may well find myself back behind the wheel of a Silver Shadow again in the future. www.btinternet.com /~chessf/rr/rrhist1.htm   (1565 words)
