Subject: Re: Mulliner V12
I remember reading a road test of a V12 saloon written in the late 1950s, which stated that the performance was still ahead of nearly everything else on the roads at that time. Interestingly, the writer considered the styling "modern" even then.
Absolutely agree about the styling. When my V12 was last on the road, late 70s/early 80s, I went to a Club AGM, & it started raining. Rushed to put the roof up (it's a dhc), & the guy who came to help knew exactly how to erect it & fasten the catches. When I expressed surprise, he replied that he should know...he designed it. yes..it was Frank Feeley. Hero!
