MOT till November. Cream leather interior.Dundee registration?
Has it got MOT and stuff? Leather?
It's not really what I was looking for, I would like perhaps a Sovereign with lots of chrome to use for weddings (also have a Shadow) - and ideally the same colour, silvery blue - but - interesting
Yes I had done 4 I think..You do weddings @blackbob ?
Proper weddings, or just for the cheap road tax ...............
Neighbour does it so the young lads can get the cheap tax for the bigger cars, not sure if it works the same over with you? Seemingly the road tax is a set figure if its down as a hackney
Couple of shadow's on CoPart.co.uk click (in classics) if you keep a wee eye ...........
.. we towed it home and got the box out, couldn't find anyone who could fix it (it's similar to a GM, but not the same) so ended up getting another box. Bought this one as a write-off, and done 70k so far)
(not by me)
Dare I ask what sort of money for a couple of them fancy cars for wedding day ?Oh go on then, @7610 super q won't mind us leading his thread off-topic as it keeps it near the top of the page...
Here's the Rolls and my 'bridesmaid' car, a Merc 450SEL, nice enough car but wrong colour (charcoal) and I think a Jag or Daimler would be a better match?
At Fyvie castle:

...and back to taxis, this my first Jag, and a car everyone laughs at, although it's a great taxi

so I guess they can sell you anything from a bolt to big parts of the body (new parts too, of course)
So that's £100 an hour from you leave the yard till you get back? How many hours does it normally take?Better money than a tractor - £100/hr for the Rolls, not so much for the Merc
Although you can't really charge for time spent polishing, etc
They don't do many miles, and fairly reliable, I think the (£350) gearbox was just one of those things, it was easy to find another one so I wouldn't think it was a 'weakness' with them.
If anyone is interested, these are first-class http://www.flyingspares.com/?gclid=...0LL9ftW_HkYsRUEwYAQtc31w2zEC54pQGgaAhTX8P8HAQ
I wish I had taken a photo when I was there, they had a body of a Silver Spirit lying in the yard, butchered into 4 quarters
Well mandy and me will have to actually tie the knot eventually.They would always ask for a price beforehand, so you just have to guess really, not so exact as that. They come to see the car beforehand, I went to local haberdashery shop and got a few ribbons of various colours and showed them, so they could choose one to match their clothes, or bring their own.
Very different world to farming! You tell them your price, tell them what you can provide and discuss with them if they would like something particular, then they can take it or leave it. luckily there don't (or didn't) seem to be any other Rolls in this area, so there was no real competition. There are stretch limos and one of those ugly Beaufort things, but no proper cars
Why am I telling everyone all this?
That will be one helluva party, with half the forum there!!
