They look tiny compared with modern machinery don’t they?

Turbo RL down the Co-Op

I notice it appears to be parked in a disabled bay, but your image angle makes it difficult to be sure that there is no blue badge on display.?



Not that it would be parked there, purely to take advantage of the extra space afforded.

“Sufficient” power ….

From the days when 300bhp was “sufficient power” for a 2.5 tonne car.

The boss of my wife bought a green one to celebrate a deal. It was a statement and a half.

Oh dear, that's hideous. I thought it was a hearse at first glance.

My dad was in advertising in the '80s, and a famous newspaper cartoonist they engaged for a particular campaign asked for (and got) a Mulsanne Turbo as his fee.

My dream car to own.
As an apprentice the company MD owned one and I’ve yearned ever since.
Amazing camera angle Darrell BTW.

As I would be
Claridges is another on my bucket list of things I’ve never been able to afford thinking about it.

Truth be said, this guy "bought" his at an insane discount because of a similar relationship.
