Graham (G4FUJ) Posted July 23, 2017 Share #8 Posted July 23, 2017 A very photogenic motor car. Missed this year's RREC - normally only attend if a cousin takes his '70s Silver Wraith II. Much time is then spent spares hunting Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hiles Posted July 23, 2017 Share #12 Posted July 23, 2017 I love the chain that drives the water pump !!! Interesting. Chains are, in my experience, noisy. I wonder how this fits in with Rolls Royce's reputation for relative silence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share #13 Posted July 23, 2017 I wonder what the future holds in store for classic cars assuming that in 25 years time we'll likely be driving electrically powered vehicles and demand for petrol / diesel fuel will likely be much reduced / minimal compared to today? Currently, budget price classic car enthusiasts have no problems affording fuel and a classic car can be an everyday use vehicle … but if petrol prices increase dramatically their running costa / affordability could make them uneconomical to own and use regularly. dunk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be petrol/diesel available in the same store on the corner where you go to buy film for your M3. Nice photos, by the way.
