A fool and their money are soon parted - why would you bother doing the conversion in the first place let alone buy the outcome??????

What on earth possessed this person to do this. He has even stripped out the RR dashboard and made the front interior look like a truck. It is unspeakably awful.

With the best will in the world we don't know what kind of state the donor vehicles were in before the blind, mad idiot (?) got his hands on them. Personally I would only consider buying this abortion if the price were dropped to 10% of the current asking price. Even then I would have to give it some serious thought before parting with such an amount of money for this automotive nightmare.

However what would Sir Henry Royce have made of it? His ethos was to use 'the best proven technology available to make the best motor car in the world'. In my opinion if you're going to make an off road Rolls (but why?) there are few if any better sources of the underpinnings to hang a Phantom body onto.
