Move the driving controls to the rear, and make the dummy the chauffeur in the front seat!

If the dummy driver is used, the roof should be cut off over the front seat area.

Don't....even....think about it.
It's going to be challenging enough to tour around the motorway from the chauffers' seat, let alone the back...

Needs diplomatic/royalty type flags mounted on the wings...You could even make up your own, if you wanted.

Horribly UN-PC, but for some reason I picture it with Iraqi diplomatic flags as it wafts along the closed loop carriageway.

That's half the fun, there are so many potential themes!

Once the Rolls engine is not longer working, a GM swap is just so much easier than anything else as it already runs a TH400, and if we are going that far, we might as well use fuel injection because carbs are voodoo, and if we are using a FI GM motor, there's no reason not to use some sort of LSx like an L33 or LQ4, as they are just about as cheap as a Vortec or TBI 350, yet much better.

But anyway, that's hopefully a long way off.

And with a TH400 we should have the transmission strength to use a Vortec 7.4. Supercharged.
