Saw this on Ebay and do not like it when Americans do simular with Jaguars.

Considering Rolls Royce is famous for their engines, this is not a desirable hot rod. The above is a shame! For the same money creating that hot rod, could have been a well sorted more original car. What a waste!

Second part. I like originality and when possible like keeping old history alive. I like all these creations:

Little bit hypocritical, but, some projects out and about; are just not worth restoring body wise. Redoing them to replicate a vintage Bentley exterior, then using genuine 1930s Rolls Royce and Bentley components underneath, is the only hot rodding Id except and want with a RR/B!

How are these reproduction viewed within RR/B clubs and their events?
