For a 90 a 8000lb will do, but bigger is better.

if its for that P38 then a nice 12000lb radio controled water proof one would be ideal. Sub £320 too ! :shock:
A 9000lb just about do but at a push as I believe your RR is close to 3 ton ????
Not sure though, should say on the plate under bonnet

Should be a minimum of 2 x the gross vehicle weight, but in general the bigger the better
