      0-60 mph in around 11 seconds. Quicker than many two seater sports cars and most contemporary "executive cars" of that era. The instantaneous torque availability helps you to "proceed briskly". I find no problems keeping up with today's traffic in a 1965 Bentley S3.

    I've been watching Jay for several years. And I swear he's got to be the most humble rich person I have seen. The fact that he's so in tune with vehicles, reminds me of my Father. Even though he wasn't wealthy, he had a great appreciation for well built cars. Jay is going to leave a legacy for future car enthusiasts to reflect on.
    I probably won't ever own the collection that he has acquired. But it is nice to watch him explain how these vehicles were instrumental in changing history.

Todays movies have more eye candy but the core plot is often contrived and weak, the plot of the train grew from the WWII era when Hitlers henchmen were literally raping and pillaging europe stealing priceless works of art, gold from banks and so on.

    I grew up in Cornwall; I was still in single digits in the 1960's. My dad had a local garage, services provided included fuel, repairs, taxi service, wedding and funeral vehicles. He had a couple of old Austin Hearses and a 1936 Rolls Royce, which he had found under a dustsheet on a local farm; a real barn find. Part of his job was that if a holiday maker died on holiday, he would repatriate the bodies to their home. I went with him on one such trip in the Rolls. Through all the winding and bendy lanes of Cornwall, we were being tailgated by some bloke in a mark one Ford Cortina who seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. He overtook us when we hit some dual carriageway, but you should have seen his face when we sailed past him at 100mph shortly afterwards. I spent hours playing in that Rolls as a kid; and appreciated the bodywork, leather and the wood even then. Great memories. (Rolls Royce's do not break down; they simply fail to proceed.)

    Hey Jay, Always loved Rollers. One July Sunday morning 1978, me and the fam are comin' back from the market when the wife says "THERES A ROLLS ROYCE and they look like their in trouble". This was one of those oil trouble times and there were NO service stations open for miles. We went back and it turns out the the car had a flat tire. This car was one of those great old early thirties grand touring cars for the lords and ladies. The owner had a spare but no jack and being 1978 no cell service either. I told the guy I would be right back and bring a jack. Me and the boy ( 4 years old) came back, helped him with the tire change and then he told me and my son to get in and he took us for a ride and left his three passengers at the side of the road in the sweltering heat. How cool was that? We were gone for about ten minutes and then returned to retrieve the strandee's. Great adventure. regards, Giovanni

    Funny Rolls Royce story. A friend of mine when I was very young had the Cat dealership on the Darling Downs of Queensland. When he was an apprentice Hastings Deering sent him out to a sheep station in Western Queensland. Guy picked him up at the air port in a Rolls, a really old rolls with a million miles on the clock. That was his farm ute. Had to shift some rabbit traps off the front seat and throw them into the back seat on which sat a sheep that had been half eaten by a Dingo. Turns out that the guy was the station owner. He bought the Rolls because it was the most reliable vehicle he could get and he was a days drive from the nearest mechanic. He could afford a Rolls because Australia as the saying goes was riding on the sheep's back. Wool was a pound a pound and Oz supplied the world with high quality fleece. Sheep farmers were the oil tycoons of the day.

Not so much but still "adequate"! The 3 series , like this one, brings the most money but, I prefer the 1s and 2s with the single headlight and taller radiator. I had a 59 Cloud I I drove all over the east coast on interstates. Even 80 MPH with no problems. Every part on these cars is reparable. You need new shocks? You remove them and rebuild them!
