I was at a wedding fayre with the OH on Sunday and parked out the front was, I thought at first glance a Turbo R, Brooklands or similar. How wrong I was. It was a Brooklands R Mulliner, one of 100 made (this one is number 28). The grilles on the front wings made me wonder at first what variant it was. It was magnificent and in extremely good shape. If my wish to arrive by helicopter with my best men falls through then it just has to be a bit of 6.75 litre, V8 old school style.

They were an end of line limited production model fitted with the low pressure turbo engine c.320bhp. One of the nicest made and far better than the other end of line model the 400bhp RT.

Yes, they're very nice. There used to be one near me but I haven't seen it for a while now.

They really are beautiful, we had one of these back new in 1998 and I could honestly say that if I saw a low ownership/low mileage car come up for sale I would buy it I would say they are super value now
