People forget Rolls-Royce and Bentley initially made their names for being durable, reliable cars, which was the chief luxury they offered the market pre-WW2. The six cylinders used up until 1960 will just keep going.

Yep, that is the culprit. It runs and drives like a dream. I put some 185’s on it and it handles like a go-kart! It is the cause of much irresponsibility.

This reminds me that when I decided on a pickup for a vehicle last year I wanted a Jeep Comanche with inline six and 4wd; couldn’t find a decent one anywhere. Love those old drawn with a ruler 80s designs.
