Hi

It is the only Rolls-Royce old enough to take part in the prestigious London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, and will stay in the UK.


But, at that price, will it ever get it's wheels dirty again?

Hi

I am not sure, if so, I would hate to see the insurance! Laughing Bit of a shame if it doesn't but at least a UK collector has it, and it is not lost to another country.

Cheers

Where did RR make cars in 1904, pretty sure it wasn't Crewe!

Hi

Did the two famous founders not meet in a Hotel in Manchester, and shortly had a factory in Manchester and Derby. I know they met in Manchester, and both Derby and Manchester ring a bell as far as factorys go, but not sure when on the time line.

Cheers
