Does anyone know of a Rolls Royce/Bentley message board?

Hey all,

I have just added another hunk of English iron to my herd and I have been scouring the net for a decent message board for these cars. I guess nobody who owns them does their own work?

Any ideas?

Thanks guys,

Yes it is the '67 T1.

Neat car. I always wanted a Silver Shadow but a customer of mine happened to have this Bentley T1 which is the exact same car, save for the badges and he also wanted to sell it so I took it off his hands. It needs a few little things done to it here and there but wow, what a ride!

Very Fleetwood-esque.

It's the same color as Ted Knight's (Judge Smails) Silver Shadow of Caddyshack fame.

being an early production car, it would be a 6.25l engine right? instead of the 6.75l fitted from around 1970 i think.

Aaron,

Mike already mentioned whunter, he hangs out on the diesel forum. Very up on his Rolls info. Send him a PM, if there is any such animal he'll be able to point you to it.

my dad used to have a RHD 67 cornice coupe.

He currently has an 83 silver spur and a 2005 bentley continental GT.

THe silver spur drives nice, but just doesn;t have much power, but super smooth ride and handles pretty good for what it is.

The bentley continental GT is a very nice car, I like it a lot.

Tell us about the car, man. I want to hear all about it.
How it handles, how it rides, how powerful it is, how comfortable, how it would compare to a MB of the same era, etc.

There are many owners who do their own work, the best forum is "Rolls-Royce Owners' Club of Australia" http://www.rroc.org.au/
