I love the Camargue, it is of it's time, and very retro cool now.

Safari suit or purple crushed velour three piece suit? High heeled Chelsea boots naturally, and Jason King sideburns.

That really is quite beautiful Always loved the shape .. why is it that older rollers always look so damn cool ?

Well they do say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

yes i know i might be in a minority on this one but the shadow has never ever appealed.The spirit even with its granada rear lights has always seduced me from day 1 , likewise unloved seraph
The Camargue is the most curious and intresting rolls ever imho.
83k back in mid 80s- equivalent to @225k today!

Fair comment.Different cars mean different things to people for different reasons.Ive always had a soft spot for Rollers(and I like the Seraph too).My Shadow is the only car I have ever had(and as a car dealer Ive had a lot over the years!)that I have regretted selling.

I'm picking my 76 Camargue up on Tuesday after having had a full bare metal respray taking some 300 hours of labour!

I've got pics from start to finish, so once I get it back and take some of my own in a decent setting I'll post a new thread......if anyone's interested


I found mine 3 years ago when I was originally looking for a Corniche convertible. I remember going to the 1975 Earls Court Motor Show when the car was launched, and the HUGE stir it created. It was the 1st car with split level air con, had the longest doors on any car made, a dashboard modelled on a Cessna and was by far the world's most expensive production car. The original invoice for mine is for just over 30 grand, a Shadow was 14 at the time!

Chaps, sincerest apologies for my laziness! I've posted a thread on Club-Scuderia which has taken me a couple of hours to do, and much as I'd love to recreate it on here, I'm sure you're all aware how laborious it is to post pics on PH, and there are over 80 to post!!! it also saves clogging up Ted's bandwidth!

Maybe if anyone's interested, you could take a look at the CS thread, if you need to register, it's free, and I hope you'll find it interesting!

Hi Clive (& all)
I hope this will give a flavour of what was done!
Clive, thanks so much for the opportunity to do the car.







Best wishes, Al.

I did advertise it on PH a year or so ago, so maybe that's it?
