Morning all,

Early Shadows and especially Bentley T1s are growing on me, but I'm not sure I'd ever be brave enough to take the plunge.

Who here would roll the dice on buying a cheap example, instead of shelling out more £ for a good one?

I have grave misgivings about things like this. It looks too good to be true, so it probably is! My family think I an cynical too!

I agree that the Bentley is a more attractive proposition than the Roller. I like the look of that one too.
As ever my head would say - "Buy the best one you can afford" but my heart would be won over by the mission of rescuing something.
The ad itself rang a few alarm bells though! Clearly the vendor hasn't owned it for long and with structural welding in the offing he could be bailing out of a money pit. Not the best feedback either - Is it!?

I think I'd persuaded by good provenance more than the best of condition.
