Whilst working on a RR Silver Wraith 2 in 2014 I was asked if I could look at the 8 litre as they could not change gears on the car, which turned out to be the clutch brake lining having the rivets touching the disc metal to metal. A new friction material and correct adjustment and there were no more problems. Ronnie Khan's son Darab Khan told me that no one in the family had driven the car since its acquisition in 1968. (Darab Khan, Owner, 26th Sep 2016: "The car has been driven a few times since its refurbishment in 2010.") Whilst back in India May-June this year (2016) I had another look at the car, and the carburettors had been removed and sent to SU for overhaul, and so were not fitted at the time.

I do not believe this is a McKenzie enhanced car, only the engine as has been previously documented. Unfortunately I did not get to drive the car on road test.

I did have the opportunity to drive WO's 8 litre (YF5002) last year whilst in the UK. Magnificent!! And as you will know, we have a quantity of WOs here in West Australia covering the entire range of WOs.
