Nice story indeed.

It could not have been much of wreck when he bought it because:
"I've kept a spreadsheet on what I've spent and it comes to 12.000"

Compare this to this humble Triumph Gloria Six which has bills for over 29.000 over the years (see picture 29). But, has to be said, including labour which probably the Rolls does not have.
