    No wonder Rolls Royce were going down hill, 1991 and the best they could do was a 3 speed automatic gearbox.

    Just remembering Top gear, when they bought a cheap a Rolls, or Ferrari etc and gave it a test drive then it broke down after a few miles, needed the engine replacing, or other expensive repairs and then there is fuel consumption. I reckon that thing would cost a fortune to run.

    Get a drop-top roller and look like a 1970's pools winner.

    You must be mad, if you can't afford a newer one, don't bother. Scrapyard dealers and furniture shop owners cars at this age, trying to look successful. If you are 60+ you might get away with it, otherwise - forget it.
    Don't touch the Ferrari either, mondial is gone and best forgotten.
    Both will break regularly, cost a fortune to fix and put you off ever doing this again.

    But...its an old mans car. Unless you're over 65 it'll add 10 years on to your age.

    A jag is just as beautiful, and doesn't age you.

    Just a 30 year old girls opinion....you may have already grown out of caring about those though.
