Brian, I found some new lighting systems for you when walking the dogs at night 😎

Very interesting Bryce.

Some great examples there Bryce, thanks for sharing.

Thank you.

Perfect. Great result Do you have contact details for him? I need to do something with my XW Fairmont.

Yes, They sure do premium product Brian. I had better retire mine and get one of those. I seem to have trouble fitting under a dash with this one. Is this you out in the backyard taking the pampered pooches out for their pre bedtime wee with your new headlamp?

Do you need to start a new thread???

That looks awesome. Does it have a seperate antenna for DAB? I recently fitted one to my Mini, and it has a window mounted antenna as a normal antenna won’t pick up DAB. Just interested in how this one is done.

Great choice, if there is good reference, go with it. The whitewall will look great. The last thing would be to get a GPS app for your phone. This way, when she is all up and running you can see exactly how fast you are going compared to your speedo. Police don’t care if you’re in an old...

Holy crap Brian, you sure don’t do things by halves. That has to be the Rolls-Royce of head mounted lamps! 😎

Yes, That’s tough, as one always needs to find a good cross reference which I noted earlier. I had the same issue with 3 of my projects. 59 FC 61 FB 69 RT40 Corona I was just very lucky that all 3 of these cars had the original spare tyres with the correct model numbers that matched the...

That’s a great looking tyre David. Got to be happy with that, the H rating is a bonus. You mention a chap advised you of the tyre size. What does the owners manual or workshop manual say?

An 80% aspect ratio is a huge tyre sidewall, it will be tough. All you need to find today with modern tyres is the same rolling diameter, which has the correct aspect ratio to a width that is appropriate to your car and fit the rim well, and not to baggy which is the most important thing when...

I love a good original tool kit in a car. Very nice.

Great insight. The Silver Cloud III was a test bed for many Silver Shadow items, mechanical (V8) and exterior design right down to the twin headlights with common surround bezel with RR logo between and both designed by John Blatchley. I’m pretty sure the Cloud III had the same super light...

A fantastic first post. Well done. Welcome, and congratulations on this beautiful car.

Some very interesting reading here. The Silver Shadow was always knocked for not being a good handler. I laugh at things like this, it’s like saying a Kia Carnival handles poorly around a race track (I actually read that in a Carnival write up a few years ago) and its 0-100km time was sub...

Interesting read. Of all these cars, probably the only one still as good as the day it was produced is the LS400. For me, robably the best sedan ever made.

I do as well Brian. It’s the corporate colour of the Electric Range at launch globally.

Yes Sean, 3000kg just in batteries. We have had to increase the tyre rating on the steer axle, as it bears the brunt of the load. Oh yeah, all of the big companies will be re organising to see what new commodities they can make money from.
