I could certainly do something useful with the money saved by preferring a tatty saloon but its still a better Rolls-Bentley than that shitbox in front of it...

But WTF is that Bentley looking kit car ?

Funny enough I saw probably the same one in Essex a few months back and it took a bit of working out - here is is captured on my dashcam in Great Baddow

Many, many "pre-war" Specials were created from the bones of rotten R Types and MkVIs throughout the late 60s and 70s. Creations such as the Mallalieu to mention some of the better examples. I have no great problem with that, the Standard Steel saloons were not exactly paragons of longevity but surrounded some mechanics that were almost the equal of the pre-war Derby era.

At least that one doesn't mimic a specific vehicle nor add too much in the way of 21st century excrescence so, to me, is very much in the spirit of early post-war coachbuilding.
