I was lucky enough to drive one of the factory Continental Ts at a motoring journalists test day and I was absolutely blown away, it's an awesome motor in every respect.

In fact, within about five miles I was happy to chuck it around like a Mini, it certainly didn't feel like a two ton barge, even the handling was light and crisp...yet driving it, you still felt you were relaxing in a posh gentleman's club.

Dunc, you're a very lucky boy!

My mate restores and repairs RR and Bentleys from all over Europe, but will not touch the continental R or T's, not sure but I think he said it takes 40hrs to change the spark plugs. The motor needs to be dropped out of the bottom of the car.

no that will be the continental gt or flyin spur with the audi engine,
i hope anyway
