Rolls-Royce - should I?




So after I graduate from ME school I would like to get my wife a nice gift to show my appreciation of her supporting me emotionally and financially while I was in school. She has always had an eye for a nice older Jag but I heard older Rolls-Royces can be purchased for a reasonable price and can prove to be reliable. The model I am looking at is the 1980 - 1989 Silver Spur similar to picture above. Does anybody here have any experience with RR? Are they somewhat easy to work on?

I read they use a GM 3 speed auto tranny but switched over to a 4 speed auto in '87. I wonder if the motor used is based on a GM unit as well.

Regards,
Speedy
