General comments?
Well our relationship was very rocky to start with, the last owner's did not look after my friend Goldie very well but Wow what a car now it run so lovely its so comfortable and quiet, does it cost much to run, no its very cost efective meaning to more I run Goldie the cheaper she becomes, my advise if a Rolls Royce is your dream just buy one and enjoy life.
