Its also not built by any Rolls Royce trained engineers or craftsmen, a lot
left in 1998 to set up on their own to specialize in Rolls Royces, those
that didn't now work for VW at Bentley. To mis quote an old rover ad,
the new Rolls Royce .. above all its a BMW
The Seraph was not a rolls either, hath was a 7 series withe a rolls Royce
grille stuck on with super glue.
And all this and Rovers problems and most of the rest of British industries
decline can be laid at the door of short sighted management and credit
control

Thanks John. This is fairly big news here at present (if you give a
rat's... about the British motor industry that is). Apparently some
bits are made in Germany and the purists protest at this dilution of
the marque. I am sorry that we, the Brits, have lost some of our
heritage, but our lack of vision on the corporate front, combined
with seriously bad industrial relations in the 70s and 80s, has meant
that we have ourselves alone to blame.
It seems to be big, but at £250,000 sterling, no-one seems to care
much about the fuel consumption ;-).
