I think I know that car...long time ago...but part of that deal with the Stutz... Same year as the one he had and wonder where the coach was made??

OH COME ON! We were just looking at electric windows in cars that have divided reason's of being practical, now this in a Rolls? Notice He still had to physically set up the wine bottle and glass's!

Not the same one I think, but same year 1926...just can't remember where his coach was made and his was similar outlandish turn of the 20's. It needed some work, windshield and the left stanchion was cracked and interior was a bit worse for worn, plus a going through the drive train. His went to Southby's SF in ~82'-83' IIRC.

Only $3/4 mil back in 2016.

I don't know where or how you find this stuff Jon...but I like it and the rust it shakes loose.

Thanks,
PJ

More modern version of the Phantom Brougham De Ville. I think I prefer the 1926 version, although I must admire the tightly unified theme of mechanisms that flip open and closed. I get that this movement is well suited to automotive interiors, but I believe that's seven total, starting with that pushbutton suicide door.

With that many I can't understand why they didn't add automatic dispensing systems! Guess they just needed the cut crystal with the RR engraved stopper to limit choices of beverages. Talk about comfort of high order Creatures. Note the joy stick controls for the vents in the center at :35...wonder if they are servo driven?

Me too on the 26!

Thanks Jon!

Haha! So funny! I distinctly remember seeing my first Pommy 'layby' morning tea stop(1985); complete with folding table and chairs, tea & scones w/jam and cream....and the traffic whizzing by on the motorway...

Bentley Continental GT 2019 rotating dashboard.

Cool Idea but you would think that for the price of a 2019 Continental GT (Starting at $225,000) they could get the trim to line up when it settles and stops at :03 and :07! That would drive me nuts as an installer or an Owner!!

Yep PJs, the gauges must be wired OR are they bloooooootooth also. It looked better in Thunderball. Was there one with Burt Reynolds ? White Lightning ==too long ago for my grey matter.
