And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Shockingly, you can get a nice used one for about 65k. Problem is, who services it where you live (where I am, nobody). Having had an English car before, I can guarantee that you'll need a mechanic/parts sooner or later. That's what will kill the deal.
Where's the bumper? Heck, if you just barely bumped into a shopping cart, you would get thousands of dollars worth of damage to the grill. No, thank you. Any vehicle I drive MUST have a functional (exterior) bumper!
How much of them are VW though, with RollsRoyces much of the electronics and running gear are BMW, if brave enough chances are you could find the equivalent part numbers and source a large amount of mechanical parts from the parent VW/BMW dealerships.
Don't forget unaffordability

ReplyDeleteFather-in-law had a Rolls. Crazy ex-wife hit the windshield with a hammer.
