And for the record in my opinion there wasn't enough video on this car so I don't know why you kept apologizing for your ranting, with the kind of job you had I could've easily takin another 20 mins of video easy especially on this car so next time feel free to rant on there are those who would appreciate it if you did.. but thats my 2cents, thanks for the video you definitely did an awesome job with this car

I fucking love it when you geek out. Never stop.

Recently retired and now have time to watch these videos. As a former quality manager in a fortune 100 company, it is the attention to detail that is simply incredible. This car is stunning, simply the best of the best.

Glorious example of classic design and modern engineering. Perfect in every way.

My grandfather was a Rolls Royce engineer in the fifties, I would love to imagine that he maybe worked on this car, he worked in the engine plant. He used to geek out to me as a kid about engineering all day long, taught me to enjoy using tools and problem solving, which left me with a passion for cars and you know what Jonathan? He would have totally loved what you have done to this beautiful motor car. Best wishes from the UK.

Thank you so much for another great video about my former car. I'm thrilled to see it get a new life and it will certainly live a very long time after going through your shop.Sorry about the mold. Mold likes the Texas heat and we grow that stuff everywhere. The car is awesome!

I cannot get enough of this video. Seen it about ten times along with other videos featuring the Rolls.

Oh boy do I love this thing! What fun to drive...

You understand that the art is in the details. I was thrilled to hear you talk about them and how you make it all work. In my opinion, one can never go too deep into something. I said something to a friend once and his response was: "you have too much time on your hands". I told him I didn't believe there ever is such a thing. Every second is prelude to the next one.

Jonathan, you have completely outdone yourself with this car. Unreal. Simply incredible.

Sorry for my late arrival but here goes. Back in the day I used to caddy at the local Golf Club in Ellesborough UK. This club was nestled in the Chiltern Hills, a most perfect location. Me and a school friend used to stand by the club house most Sundays trying to attract some business. Many times we went home empty handed but one day this gent came over and asked if we might be free the following week so we agreed to meet him at the club. Eventually he arrived driving a Silver Cloud in the exact same colours - we couldn't believe it. He took us to another club some 15 miles away and we caddied for him and one of his friends. It was all above board and we had a great time. With that in mind it was great to come across this video and to see what you have achieved with the old Cloud. Clearly I have fond memories of these cars and you have to be congratulated on the level of workmanship put into the build - I love it. I know it's rude to ask and I doubt you want to tell but what's the finished cost of the vehicle.

Like many other comments indicate, the details and geek outs are my favorite part of your videos. We recognize that a crazy amount of work went into these vehicles. Geek out all you like. I will watch the whole video, every time. No need to apologize at all.

RR Silver Cloud, a palace on wheels and the most classic design of all time.

As a Rolls-Royce geek all my life, I'm completely in love with this thing! My favorite Derelict that you've built! Btw we enjoy the ranting. Well done.

Don’t stop geeking out. Yours are the only videos I watch straight through without pausing or ffing. I love all the info. This car is truly awesome.

I could have happily listened to a 60 minute in depth video on this, really interesting, love it

Ah, the one I've been waiting for...and its perfection. Just for the record, 20 min videos would ideally be the minimum, not a maximum - we love hearing every little detail and touch. Thanks for taking time to make these and detail everything.

How is this only 180,000 views? It has to be one of the most beautiful amazing cars on the planet :O

As a talker myself, i just listened gaining every aspect of this build entranced all the way through. An ex aero engineer by trade, old car restorer and racer by heart, what more can I add thats needed - none, except very well done... again..

I'm 22 and that's my dream car , since I was younger a restored old timer , I love it

As a retired vintage RR tech, the Silver Cloud series were my favorite. I feel I am qualified to give my unconditional approval on this incredible makeover. CHEERS!!

I really hope the owner of this car shoots video of his first trip to one of his brother's Rolls club meetings.

I never get tired of this video. I have watched it several times and pick out something that I missed the first half dozen or so times that I watched it. Like..."Hey a coyote. Right in the middle of the day." Funny. Great car. Great video.

So awesome. I giggle uncontrollably when this thing rolls on with the power.

Nice, in my dreams tonight l’ll order two of them and give you a blank cheque. Thanks for the vid , you are an artist.

Jonathan, you truly represent the American spirit with hard working, passion, innovation and quality. The British did it ok but you hit it out of the park. I love your enthusiasm and work. Thumbs way up!

I only have three words to say about this car - I WANT ONE!!! This, with stock wheels and whitewall tyres (if possible) would surprise ANYONE you take for a ride in it, it's fantastic. THANKYOU!!

Thank you for walking the Jonathan,one man of the land,being responsible through self thinking,your learnings plus teachings brings a "Wow," to the women and men of the lands.Keep building,enjoy.!!!

We are here because you geek out.

Aw, man. You didn't bore me one little bit. Super impressive in every way. Whoever gets this machine is one lucky guy. Subbed for sure.

Since the 1950’s this has been my favourite motor car. The two tone paintwork emphasises it’s graceful land majestic lines Being English it’s wonderful to see this Old Lady Dowager brought up to date. She can now lift up her skirts and really shift. Unsurpassed by later designs, a Stately English Mansion on wheels. A true Rolls Royce. Thank you for your video. Wonderful!.

Excellent work! PLEASE keep geeking out over your fantastic craftsmanship!

Repeatedly stunned by the commitment, quality engineering, and attention to detail. Utterly unique, and Jonathan's business ethos is a model. "If you can't be proud of it, don't do it".

Truly excellent in every detail, I really can't see how it could be improved upon. Amazing work!

This is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen.

I appreciate that you have Derelict clients, cuz we dig their cars.

Obviously an impressive car and he’s going to get a lot of well-deserved compliments, but if you get a second, rewatch the video for the editing. His older videos felt like you were at a car show, but this video specifically, has the feeling of riding around with your friend as he tells you about the car he’s been working on. The constant back-and-forth between detailed stills and walk arounds, then seeing the car in motion, sounds miserable... But in execution, it’s fantastic.

Jonathan - you know.. You are a Genius!!! I don't have to say much more ***** Respect as always and greetings from Germany 👍👌😍🎉👏💓

Jonathan…I love hearing about the build and all the detail. Your videos are on the top of my list. 😊

Liking your "geeking out", I always watch 'til the end.

Nothing like modern coming together with the aged. I love this car and would daily drive it for sure. Great colour also...

You Geek out to your heart's content! That is one of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much!

Love the deeper geek out. The build is what your brand is about. More, more, more.

After all the bells and whistles and the beautiful job you did it always comes down to the seats ,and you nailed it perfectly,after all you have to be totally comfortable when driving.I enjoyed watching the whole presentation,thank you.

Geek away! Gear Heads "must" know the details. Not to mention, I love the whole idea of the "Derelict".

Keep doing what you are doing with these videos, the cars deserve it!

4 years late watching this video, but wow what an absolute stunner this Rolls was! And like the other thousands of comments, we LOVE hearing you geek out John! That's why we're here and not on Jay's channel! :)

Love these videos. Super chill, tons of info, and zero pretension. Build porn easy listening...

I, for one, specifically subscribe to this channel for all the "geeking out" ... so let your geek flag fly and ballocks to the haters :)

Jonathan, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride with you through the canyons, and geeking out on the details of the build. What a fabulous, gorgeous car! As to drowning in the details, no apologies please. I'm a good swimmer.

This was sooo fun - glad you had the time to totally nerd-out!! What a cool car!!

The stance and the sounds are the personality of this derelict. For those of us enamored with this kind of restoration, there's never enough detail and the effort to share is appreciated.

*By far the most impressive unique derelict one to date for myself even beats out your Bad arse FJ's. A straight up middle finger to the elite class.*

Wow… I'm impressed

OUTSTANDING!!! A Rolls that I would drive...

I could sit down and listen to this all day

Top five..?....... Number ONE!....... Incredible work by you and your amazing genius team........My favourite so far of all the 'derelicts'.

As a Briton, I´d like to take this opportunity to apologise to the world in general for the bafflingly unfathomable variations in the quality of our engineering. I once had a Range Rover clutch master cylinder seal blow on a 2 week old unit. I´d also like to mention how much more satisfying I found this video than I did Jay´s video covering this very car. If I might be allowed to venture a word of criticism about Jay, it does seem to me that, given that the man´s effectively a professional interviewer, he really can be a surprisingly poor listener. I hasten to add that, though I watch and love his channel, I´ve never seen his chat show; perhaps he´s more indulgent towards his chat show guests than he is to fellow "car guys".

Jon - never apologize for going on - I could watch these all day! I love and appreciate that you get into all the details so we mortals can understand how much thought and work went into the build.

I could never afford a new Rolls Royce but if I had the cash I would rather spend it on this awesome resto-mod. I love the curves of the olden Rolls Royce models. Thanks for sharing the beauty!

2:49 when you say fuck the law and run the stop sign.

I take your point about some of the engineering, but this was designed during the UK post-WW2 period of resource poverty, and is possibly largely based on pre-WW2 technology. Not, perhaps, fair to be too unkind about what is pretty primitive by modern standards. Whatever, you have produced something of beauty, and I would love one.

DUDE! Don't apologize for Geeking out. Love it. Why I come here to hear & see what you do to these cars. Wish I had the skill to do a 1\4 of what you do.

So good. Thanks Jonathan for your design and build inspiration

it's.. I'm... choked up.

You guys do great work! That would be a fun place to work at.

Faultless old to new icon. Keep em’ coming

“Hey, a coyote!” Love it! Just discovered your channel and have been devouring the content. Your love of sleepers is contagious. Keep up the geekyness. A lot of us truly appreciate your comments. Thanks!

blah blah blah is the new yada yada yada. Love the car and the video.

Well great job would be an understatement, I sure hope that car chaps ur brothers hide and if by chance u do show it off in his arena please film it id love to see that..lol

Jonathan YOU ROCK BRO. The attention to the smallest details make your creations well worth every cent.

I was 19 years old when I was working for a garage who wanted to 'restore' a Jaguar MKII... I sugested that someone could CNC new aluminum knobs and buttos to do exactly the same you do; new tec with old look. They told me that I was crazy and fucking dreaming. I spent months going around talking with engineers, CNC operators, CAD freaks, and I always got the same answer; 'you are dreaming too much, that will be too expensive, no one gives a fuck about the look of a button, bla bla"... That was 12 years ago. I wish I sas working with you guys at that time! Keep the PERFECT work coming!

I have yet to see one of your projects that was less than perfect. Thanks for making all other cars worthless

Unlike Leno, the rest of us don't have the attention span of a toddler. Rant away.

The engineering on this is outstanding

It's nice to see a real craftsman paying attention to detail.

Your videos could be an hour long. I'm not going anywhere

Why no leather wrapped Fix-a-flat can?

Your quality & attention to detail ! Greatly appreciated ( as a viewer ) . . . The clients must be super happy . Keep up the good work .

Beautiful job. I also appreciate the honesty in regard to the challenges involved.

I keep waiting for actual footage of this beautiful boat autocrossing... disappointing! ☹️

Saw the thumbnail, looked at the title Brain said: "whaaaaaaaaaaaat" Mouth said...well, same thing.

I don't mind you geeking out on details ;) It's why we come back, all the gritty details of a build nobody ever tells you. Anyway, great build. Yet another timeless classic on the roads!

I'm not a gambler and I don't condone it, but every now and then I buy a lottery ticket with a dream of one day you can build me one of those derelicts. I'm just in love with your brand, classy, minimal and timeless design.

What did your brother think of it?

2 people have never experienced true happiness

The whole 20 minutes was a joy.

I come here specifically for the detail in the walkthrough. Please keep doin what you're doin!

I love it. Old rolls quality, with a modern powertrain. LS 7,favorite engine,.well done. Engineering genius.

Magnificent car. What a splendid job. Fortunate new owner.

Thanks for the video. Jay Leno fondly remembers his days as a poor mechanic working on this sort of car so you could tell he'd rather the Rolls remain original. That is okay, to each his own. I like originals but I also like what you are doing creating cars that drive as well as they look. I appreciate your use of the best materials available and your attention to detail and design. People are getting their money's worth buying one of your cars.

I'm a humble designer for a large aero company, I REALLY appreciate that Icon have a great sense of what elements to change, and what aspects and aesthetics are best left as intended. Thanks for the great videos.

While I’m a purist, any resurrection of a classic car is a good thing. I love the changes

Taking the most beautiful car in the world and making it still better. Thats something else!

I love this vehicle. I feel like in the spirit of scaring small children this thing would have been an awesome candidate for an LS-based V12 engine.

Favorite one yet. Such a beautiful car.

You can geek out for twenty minuets, forty minuets, or even sixty minuets, I enjoy your art. Keep up the good work.

I really like the access panel to fuel pump! Something I wish the big car companies would do.. thanks Jonathan

Can't get enough of your descriptions on these magnificent cars! Thank you!

Brilliant , love it . A true Icon of a British Icon .
