Prices[edit]

Given that this is a British car, could we get the prices in pounds pse? --kingboyk 18:23, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Packard origin for Rolls-Royce - Bentley pushrod V-8?[edit]

I recently read a 'retrospective'-style article about a late-production Bentley Turbo R. It made the claim in an offhand manner that Rolls-Royce had found itself seriously outclassed under the bonnet both in output and cylinder count by the mid-50s, and the failure of Packard (last full year of production was '57, with a partial model year in '58) allowed them to buy the rights to a solid modern V-8 design reasonably. Thus, all pushrod Rolls-Royce and Bentley V-8s were derivative designs from Packard's OHV engine. This seems reasonable on the surface, as the first model year for the V-8 in the Silver Cloud II was '59. Can anyone substantiate this? --Darwinianphysicist (talk) 00:49, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge RT[edit]

I believe that Bentley Turbo RT should be merged here, as it is simply a more powerful model of the "cooking" Turbo R. I also feel that a lot of visitors are likely to miss out on the Turbo RT entirely, with it being hidden in a separate page. Disclaimer: Favoring this merger will not be interpreted as support for merging all RR Silver Spirit variants. Mr.choppers | ✎ 01:59, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
