Subject: Re: New Member Introduction by Photo.
How very refreshing to find someone who bought a car they loved when nearly new, & has not been swayed by fashion or so-called improvements to get on the treadmill of buying a replacement every few years.
I prefer older cars than this, and, just a personal view, thought the Rapide a bit awkward styling-wise. But, having seen one since in the flesh, actually found it really attractive...a car that doesn't photo well? Perhaps it's just me!
Returning to the original theme; I cannot comprehend at all, how someone owning a V12 in say 1948 could remotely consider buying a new 2.6 to replace it. Perhaps running costs & pool petrol, rationing etc had something to do with it.
