Your absolutely certiable even comtemplating an older RR. Maintaining it will drive you to the poor house, cause thats exactly what it will cost you, the price of a house.
RR folded because of poor sales, Many of the parts suppliers also went outa business, and parts are tough to get. The orginal RR motor was an Alumium Block with steel sleeves. After RR folded BMW picked them up and started installing BMW motors in them. Also finding a qualified mechanic who won't cut corners is another challenge. Many RR's are not maintained, the rich owners don't care because they will trade them in, in a coupla years. Like anything mechanical the older it gets the more maintainence it needs. On an 80 or 81 RR you need 2 catalytic converters at $2500 each. So your welcome to RR he11.
