"One has to view them as luxury saloons in the vein of Bentleys rather than GT cars like Astons."

Not so, Richard. They are consummate GT cars - very quick, at least with a 4-speed manual, with great handling (de dion rear end). Try catching one in a contemporary Bentley - even a DB4 would have to work hard.

No slouch either with a modern 4 speed auto with 2 stage kickdown. 25% uprated front springs and Koni adjustable shock absorbers markedly improve the front end, and new Jag Mk10 racing brakes mean it can stop too!

I stand corrected chaps, I've never been in one so I shall look forward to that experience one day! Grinning

LR127 is now advertised on Philip Jones' Byron site at £175K. Looks in VG condition with some new bits under the bonnet by the look of it. Fitted with twin SU carbs rather than Solex

This particular example of a Rapide can only be described as gorgeous.

And judging by what LR111 achieved this week, 127 is very keenly priced even without the 4 speed auto upgrade
