Rolls-Royce Camargue Start up

Just taking the Camargue our for a spin.

I certainly would.

Bentley Azure Whatcar Review

Here is Whatcar's review of the Bentley Azure.

Only 3 stars for the cabin? Bullshit.

Oh My Ghost.

Ostrich leather has an interesting surface.

It's on my wife's favourite handbag:

But let's add a bit of 'Oz' - not 'Os':

Hey Joey.

And put it all in a car:

'Rolls-Royce Ghost by Carlex Design'

Here it is in a graveyard:

It's an interesting shade of green.

But inside you'll find Joey the 'roo and his feathered friend....

Woahhhh....!

Poor things.

Ghost save us all.

Here's GTspitit.com 's story on the car:

"Although Rolls-Royce offers the most demanding clients a number of configuration options inside of their luxury saloons, there are others which ask for more unique interior upgrades with a personalized character. Leather and upholstery specialists Carlex Design have exactly offered this in their latest project called 'Ghost Save the Queen'. "

(If you can read music, I assume these are the notes - Irvine)

"First of all the luxury car was painted in a deep green exterior color. In addition to the characteristic color, the inside offers numerous upgrades like a royal crown embroidered in the seats."

"The relief is completed by wool rugs with a pile length of 2.5 centimetres, chrome parts and the usage of luxury ostrich and extremely flexible kangaroo leather, which proved to be an ideal material for the piping. "

"The project took almost two months, but the effects are overwhelming, according to the Polish company.

(One month spent trying to find a willing Kangaroo and Ostrich....- Irvine)

I really shouldn't voice an opinion on this one.

It is quite unique and I think I sort of like it but in different colours maybe, possibly, kind of....

Ostrich leather has been used on many other Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars over the years. We're going to see how many more we can find. They're out there.

Keeping Up Appearances Rolls Royce

Hyacinth and Richard Bouquet, or Bucket having a nice day out.

It is a good one.

Rolls Royce Camargue in Melbourne

Here is a Rolls-Royce Camargue that was recently for sale in Melbourne, Australia.

Apparently it was a very good one, with low kilometres. One day.

Bentley Launch Video with Alternative Music

This is interesting. Using the great stock footage with some different music.

Visually it looks amazing - but I'm pretty sure Bentley would not have a song about money in their video.

Camargue Spy Shot

Check this Car Magazine cover from January 1975.

Caught! It's the new £25,500 Super Rolls

Actually the Super Rolls came out on 5 March 1975, and the price was even higher at £29,250.

It's still a super Rolls.

Thanks Michael for the photo.

The First Cut Won't Hurt at All...

'Duel', a great 1980s song by the German band Propaganda.

The lyrics:

"The first cut won't hurt at all,
The second only makes you wonder,
The third will have you on your knees-
You start bleeding I start screaming...."

Charming. A great song all the same.

How about a 'double' cut Silver Cloud. A second cut? It makes you wonder, so it does. Euhh, no thanks to the third.

This was on Ebay yesterday but seems to have dropped off. Sold maybe?

But I did a bit of 'Googling' and finally found it.

'Double cut...?'

The rear C pillar:

Then the rear doors:

A Phantom V alternative.

Quite nice in my opinion.
