...and sorry to burst your bubble but rolls royce do no such thing, after a car passes from it's first owner it's just another second hand car in the world, do what you like to it.

Aye fact is you can pick up a dog-rough shadow for £1000 which will be a hell of a car but full of rust and needing a good £10k to get it back to it's former glory; when it'll only fetch about £8k. Why not have some fun on it's way to the breaker's yard eh?

BBC Top Gear programme covered this race in December 1998. Top Gear's Vicki Butler-Henderson was driving car No 760finishing fourth. The reason the two blue cars are trailing behind is down to the fact they were using Ford Granada engines and running gear.

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
