Faults:

Nothing: 100% reliable!

Although ... there's a slight blow from the exhaust manifold, which seals itself when it warms up.

General Comments:

Turns heads - especially when told that it's now 31 years old.

The suspension - all original equipment - still holds the road like new, and affords the smoothest ride of all the cars I have owned since I passed my driving test in the same year this car was built.

Although the leather interior is in need of a good clean, feed and recolour, it is still in much better condition than that found in many cars decades younger.

If I could get a decent price for the Grand Cherokee, I would drive the Rolls all year round rather than just in the Summer months!

Faults:

Nothing except items requiring routine maintenance or replacement.

General Comments:

Like sitting in your favourite armchair.

Potentially high repair costs, but zero depreciation.

Quality feel to all components.

Interior made from a herd of cows and half a rainforest.

Spend your money on driving it and you'll save on repair bills.

Remember that the cheapest Rolls-Royce you can find will end up being the most expensive.

Regular servicing and regular use are essential.

Faults:

It was literally owned by a little old lady who could no longer drive it, and it sat for a couple years before I came across it. The engine ran a little rough at first, and the power steering pump leaked, but there have been no problems since.

I'm used to a Beetle diesel as my daily driver, so 13mpg on premium really hurts!

General Comments:

I bought this as a fun summer car, and it's turned into a really fun daily driver! I really dread putting it away for the winter.

Even though it is 31 years old, and has some wear around the edges, the engine is very powerful and the ride is very smooth.

But 31 years later, luxury is at a completely new level. A Honda has almost all the "luxury" features that this car does at almost the same price.

I've done all the maintenance myself, and prices on parts have been surprisingly reasonable. I would turn it over to a professional for anything more than a basic tune-up. The brakes a especially tricky.

Faults:

Bought the car at auction from original owner. Hadn't been moved in 5 years.

Major electrical shorts: Brake lights, headlights, turn signals, interior lights, heat/AC controls.

Name a fluid and it was leaking it.

Needed Motor mounts. Brake Pads, Power window motor, trunk release & door rubber.

Local battery shop crossed polarity blew Original alternator and micro switches in transmission.

Working my way through the repairs most of which are due to age and not wear.

General Comments:

Remember the movie Christine the 1957 Plymouth sucks the life out its owner as it kills everyone who threatens it.

Not there yet and must say this is a fantastic automobile which is a pleasure to drive. However I'm constantly drawn to make it perfect instead of just enjoying it as a weekend driver.
