I f I remember correctly the Brooklands has the mesh front grill like the turbo? Graet motors, but like any Roller or Bentley they DO NOT like sitting around doing nothing. Discs corrode to buggery, calipers seize, rear spring hangers on the rear arms rot out, make sure no one has topped up the brake fluid with brake fluid ( if that makes sense!) should be green hydro fluid like Citroen used to use. Rear suspension spheres fail over time giving the back end a slammed to the ground stance and grinding the underneath out on the floor. Their getting on a bit now but as long as there are records for plenty of work over the years you should'nt have too many probs....just ensure you have depp pockets, Done my apprenticeship on them and still think they are some of the coolest cars in the world! Anyone that thinks they are shit clearly has never driven one and probably never will!!
