I've always been partial to the Silver Shadow but I think between you and Lew its looking like I should give more consideration to the late '80s.
Of course after a Range Rover even a Yugo might give off the scent of reliability. Or maybe your experience was better with Rover than that of my friends here in Canada?

my range rovers were all the top line and never had a prob when we looked at getting the bentley we went for a mk11 as it was loaded with more gadgets ie 10speakers love my music,and the reliability of 1990 onwards i was advised could stand up to my using it every day.i am heavily involved with the rrec over here im the treasurer for the paulerspury section.

Ian I'm glad you mentioned your involvement with the RREC. I was wondering what is the relationship between the RREC and the RROC? Are they competitive or complimentary organizations? I thought perhaps there was a geographic division but then saw that the RROC advertises itself as the 'International Club'.

I am a member of the RROC, Rebel Region and Modern Lady Society. The RROC and RREC are complimentary International clubs. Many people belong to both. I just think it is easier to participate in events associated with which side of the pond you live on. I know of some that have participated in events in both clubs. The more the better I think!
The modern 20000 series (87 1/2, 88 and 89) tend to be the most reliable from what I have found. These were heavily upgraded with modern equipment, but before the very expensive to keep up active suspension system. There were alot of these cars built and the can be had at affordable prices. Just be sure to get a well maintained one though.
