Prior to the takeover by BMW in 1998 Rolls-Royce made use of the L Series V8, an engine that had been developed in the 1950s and still remains in use today – in modified form of course.

It was then chromed and had four legs fitted. The top is British standard certified table glass, measuring 830mm x 750mm and it’s estimated to be worth between £800 to £1,000 – which actually seems almost reasonable.
