^ It is interesting to see how advertising has changed so much at the luxury end of the market. In those days the focus was placed purely on the virtues of the product .....today they market the "experience".

I'd love to hear the clock ticking... It's a wonderful noise. I love the ticking of my clocks.
Unfortunately here it's an electrical (quartz) clock, so if it ticks it's an artificial noise...but it would be a very lovely detail.

Give me this Silver Cloud II instead of the bloated Phantom Coupe please!! Just breathtakingly beautiful!!
