Hi Do you still have the bonnet please? What condition is it in? Do you have any photos please? Thanks Simon

That DVLA website is very misleading - it appears if the top half of the page is about enquiring about another vehicle (not yours) or its keeper and that is what the reasonable cause list applies to. The section at the bottom of the page titled Information about you or your vehicle says that...

Hi I am restoring my 3500S and the only panel I still need is a rear passenger NS door. I do not need the window, regulator, door card etc - just the door frame and skin (I can't re-skin mine as the frame is shot at the bottom corner). Does anyone have a door (or frame+skin) in reasonable...

That's my old car! Sold 3 years ago to a buyer (cannot remember his name) from West of Scotland (so I assume it's still there?) Is it roadworthy? He MOT'ed it OK after I sold it to him. There was loads of history with it and I spent ages restoring the interior (I would still like that interior...

Hi Colin What's the interior like please? I'm maybe looking to replace the nice orange velour in my 3500s I'm in Linlithgow so fairly close. I'm also hoping to the go to SARR next Sunday Thanks Simon

Hi PM sent thanks Simon

Hi All Has anyone got one of these please? It is the first link from the shaft from the Main Heater Control (the ram air one) that sits on the side of the heater box and opens the flap in the scuttle. It is supposed to be splined, but mine isn't - stripped due to a stiff flap (now sorted)...

Hi all I am looking for a rear driver's (offside) door or door skin in good condition. Colour not important although tobacco leaf would be great! I am near Edinburgh but could arrange a courier if it's too far Thanks Simon

Hi all Thanks for the useful feedback. I'll see if I can find a thin walled socket or grind one down slightly. Failing that, I'll leave it to the MOT in August and get the garage (a classic Rolls Royce specialist run by a friend of a friend) to do it! Regards Simon

Hi all I've had my 1973 V8 for about 18 months so I'd thought I'd change the plugs. I bought a set of NGKs from Wins. First problem- socket set plug socket wouldn't fit so I bought a simple box plug spanner and cut it down and ground it so it fitted. Next problem- not a single plug will move...

Hi all I went to see this car yesterday and met Will who was very helpful. I didn't spend long because we were late and it was raining. The car is as Will says it is- he is a welder fabricator so the welds have been done very neatly. The front wings need replacing and don't fit at the sills...

Hi will Pm sent Simon

Seems to have gone already!

I think I saw this at one at our Linlithgow Classic car show last September (this year on 31st August). It needed a respray but looked ok. I took the guy's name because we were going to exchange boot lids- I wanted a boot mounted wheel and he didn't like them. I lost his number though. Might go...

It's gone now. Seller took it off this morning- anyone here buy it? I'm Disappointed in one way, relieved in another! Simon
