Frank Bullitt Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 So the story goes like this: The owner picks up the car brand new in 2008; he loves it so much that he spends the next nine years driving the hell out of it, using it every day and making full use of that massive rear space to transport his friends in pure luxury. Unfortunately at 190,000km the engine gives up and with Rolls-Royce Japan quoting a two-year wait for a replacement motor, he proceeds to “sort the problem out himself”.

Chris Wilson Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Whilst the swap is err, "different" I find the most unbelievable thing is that there's a two year wait for a replacement engine for a not that old Roller....I bet they don't mention that on a factory tour.

Gpro Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 A luxury car designed to be comfortable with a loud high performance race engine... not a good combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
