On the outside, it is the pinnacle of British luxury: a vehicle that makes a $100,000 MSRP feel like a bargain. But to anyone who has ever turned a wrench on one, it is a $15,000 liability disguised as a sovereign icon. It was built with a level of engineering arrogance that assumed plastic cooling pipes could survive a \u003cb\u003e230 F\u003c\/b\u003e engine bay and that \"sealed-for-life\" transmissions were anything other than a marketing lie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this dossier, Steve Sorensen, a Harvard MBA graduate who traded a corner office for a floor jack, strips away the Windsor leather to reveal the systemic failures lurking beneath.
