FUCK ME! That window mechanism chain is more stout that most cars' timing chains these days. Wonderful

The early shadow 1 had a much thicker chain compared to the later cars. They are still nicely made though.

You're kidding?

I've heard the door hinges on these things are from a Bedford truck cab?

Well there isn't much to say really. It only really gets used on the weekends and is happily burning it's way though petrol at a rate of 12mpg. I did get a nail in a tyre a week or two ago but that was easily fixed.

I have actually done a couple of little jobs on it today but not really worthy of photo's. First up the little plastic plugs that cover the locks on the wheel centers didn't fit very well. 4 New o rings and they are all nice and tight again. An easy fix but typical RR Bentley price gouging of £21.77 including post for 4 little o rings. I also swapped the cd multiplay out of my 806 into it as I am taking it to France in September and the old one kept skipping all the time. The final job was to fit my ACO badge to the badge bar and I also found a bracket to fit my French pig mascot (he has been on a few of my old cars and hopefully he can handle the pace of this one)
