"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!

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
