The automotive industry has become very interested in Rolls Royce's plans on building a new test facility in the area of Lanarkshire in the United Kingdom. After all, this one has been said to cost the auto company some ?45 million. You see, Rolls Royce was actually planning on creating and building such a test plant in its efforts to actually consolidate and merge the operations for two of its plants currently operating in the area of East Kilbride. One is a repair and overhaul factory while the other structure has been created as a test bed facility.
According to Rolls Royce, they are planning on bringing both of these facilities in one plant which would be the new one to be built at the Langland Business Park. It would be built on 36,000 square feet of land. Of course, when the new plant would be constructed, the two ones in East Kilbride would still function and produce Rolls Royce products from to Rolls Royce vehicles.
This has been actually confirmed by a spokesperson from the auto company. In fact, he further explained that the operations of the two facilities in East Kilbride would still continue. Workers in the plant would need not worry about their jobs for the company has no plans on cutting off the number of workers nor lay them off their current jobs.
The spokesperson further shares that the decision on the delay of the new Rolls Royce plant has been brought about by a number of factors. One of these was the weakening US dollar. Aside from this, he further says that the delay was also caused by the high cost of raw materials needed to build the new facility as well as the increase in building costs.
?The combined effect of a number of external factors on the Langland's business case has necessitated a delay in the proposed investment. Rolls Royce remains committed to Scotland and this decision does not affect the company's intention to grow the East Kilbride business, which will be taking on a new strip and build work for the RB211 Gas Turbine Module before the end of this year,? states the Rolls Royce representative.
I was really sad when I decided to sell my Rolls Royce. And this wasn't just any ol? Rolls Royce. This was a ?pimped-up? Rolls that I did myself, and hired out for weddings, hen and stag nights, theatre nights, well, for any kind of celebration where people wanted to travel in style, and feel the part. And look the part they did in my Roller. She was a perfect, gleaming specimen and everybody who traveled in my car felt like royalty, and I treated them like royalty. It was what they deserved.
However, in today's economic climate where a lot of people are counting the cost of everything, hiring a beautiful motor is no longer top of everybody's list and I just can't afford to keep her on the road anymore. I thought about putting my Rolls into storage, but the storage fees were too high. I looked into renting a friend's garage for awhile, but there wasn't any security and I didn't want my car stolen. The best thing was to sell my Rolls Royce and for her to be with somebody who would look after her in a manner she was accustomed to. After all, a Roller is not your ordinary car.
And because my car was no ordinary car, I could not sell my Rolls Royce in an ordinary way. I mean, I couldn't stick a notice in the local rag, or advertise my Roller in the shop window of my local post office. Besides, even if I did, I would not want everybody to know my private business, because when people read the advertisement and description of the Rolls Royce for sale, they would know it was mine, and work out I was in need of some cash. What was called for was a way to sell my Rolls Royce in a discreet manner.
Now you would think I would sell my Rolls Royce in the same way as I bought my car. However, I acquired my car through inheritance. Therefore this was a subject matter that would take some research as I had never sold such an exclusive car as a Roller. My first port of call to gather some advice was the Rolls Royce forum on the internet. In fact it turned out to be my last port of call, as they came forward with a suggestion that was very agreeable with me. They suggested I sell my Rolls Royce through a company that was an expert in buying prestige cars. Some of the people on the forum had bought and sold various Rollers from these types of companies and said it was the only way forward with such a specialised car.
So, I contacted a company, and after dealing with them, all I can say, is why doesn't everybody use them?! It was a breeze to sell my Rolls Royce, and I would certainly use them again. All I did was drop them an email with my contact details on it, and the type of car I was selling, and they phoned me the next day. I spoke to one of their experts and we discussed the finer details about my car, such as her history, how she has been looked after, who had driven her, and history of accidents. Once he had all the necessary information he gave me a quote, which I accepted, as I knew it was a very fair price. The last detail we finalised was the address they were going to come and pick up my Roller and exchange payment. The whole process was easy and straightforward, something I never expected to happen when I had to sell my Rolls Royce.
