I owned a 93 LWB and a 95LWB and loved them both. I am looking to get another RR but have also been considering the newer models (i'm not sure what the 95-00 models are called so I have some difficulty searching for prior postsi'm sure this has been discussed). I like the classics simplicity, styling and room but are the newer models quieter, safer, smoother, etc? Or are they rife with electrical and other problems? What do you think?

 

95-02 are P38; 03- current are MKIII different issue with all same great RR you remember.

 

If you did a lot of work yourself on your classic, i'd go for the P38. It's basically a classic updated to be more reliable and luxurious. You can still fix just about any problems that arise with about the same amount of work (or less) than problems on a LWB. The MKIII is nicer on road and the interior is significantly updated but there are a number of electrical problems and such that can occur. Personally, I like they P38's styling more then the MKIII. It's really not that different from the classics. As for quieter, the classic<P38<MKIII. The acoustic dampening glass in the MKIII is really nice.

If you go for a P38 or MKIII i'd be sure to get one of the later models as they are more solid and reliable overall.

Let us know if you pick one up!
