About ten years ago I met Derek Bell, who was the original owner of my car

During the event he was asked what road car he now enjoyed driving most, to many people's surprise he said the Continental GT

He then explained that he was responsible for the chassis development and was really proud of what they'd achieved

Pretty car Randy, congrats!
Someone likes blue

I like the azure T mulliner and the final series brooklands T mulliner... luxo barges, but wafting about in one leaves little to be desired

You might find this article from last saturday interesting. 4 door version but essentially the same car.

Next one already arrived.

Never really being capable of understanding German engineering well enough to maintain and repair my Deutsche' cars, I decided to try to understand English engineering. I'm pretty sure this will be a lost cause as well, but hope it will be fun trying.

Hope 'Princess' treats us well. She certainly enjoyed hanging out with all those handsome German 928 'Hunks' at Frenzy.

Congrats Gary,

I have one of those "princesses" as well. Fabulous car, and also has some spunk!

By the way, the engine, transmission and electricals are German in your English "princess"

Maybe that's why she was so attracted to the Porsche 928 'hunks' at Frenzy!!! - Wasn't aware the electricals were from across the channel. That is VERY good news!

Yes most of the innards are German, then there's the Navigation which is from Volvo

Interesting mosh mash of stuff, but it all came together well

Yep, they nailed it. The CGT is certainly not for the risk averse. Meaning perfect for us lot.

Dare to dream lads. You already did when mounting a 928!
