Sir Stanley Royce the design is like if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

That Rolls-Royce is a masterpiece. 😍😍

Same

wasnt the stoneage... power windows on cars existed since the early 1940's

rockolutheran But the Mustang '69 doesn't have any Power Windows... So that's so suprising :D

Yeah, and i see they were even faster back then

My 2003 Corolla didn't even have power windows :(

Eric Stearns My old 93 Corolla didn't have power windows

Probably. British engineering wasn't exactly known at any point in history for being reliable. Had tons of character though.

I do not believe You or if so did You get fired? Factory trained?

Steve Prince Absolutely it is so open the oil filler cap with engine warm and it will smell/stink petrol it is lots of petrol fumes and oil need´s to be replaced if driven it will work on al cylinders No need to cal Your granny Your mother can show You to the oil plug Wen taking it away you must not be under hot black oil will com out ! I tink You can do this tool for it will be fund in the trunk good luck ! and do noting else ok you can ceck the tyre pressiur if You want do not forget the spare one

It's got an audible miss.

A hot clean showroom piece none the less.

Also faster than my 2015 car

Actually modern bodies are far superior in all respects except style.

Ahmed Mohd what kinda shit are you smoking mate?

prettier maybe but not better

Maybe cooler but not better.

Ahmed Mohd I agree with you Ahmed mohd

Bruh imagine if this one was topless

Thomas Cole one hell of a luxury car am i right

Tom Cole With all due respect...are you serious?

Tacoma 55 He is serious, judging by the the look of his KZfaq, he's a Brit like me. Whilst auto transmissions, power steering, windows etc were all common place in the US by the 60's, our cars were a lot more basic! Even mid-luxury cars like Jaguars etc all has wind up windows until the early 70's, and right up until the mid 60's, heaters and a radio were actually dealer fitted cost options on most everyday cars. (My 1973 Mini didn't come with a radio from factory, and my Friends 1986 Ford Escort Popular had no cassette, player, cigarette lighter or a rear washer and wiper). My uncle worked for a local Triumph dealer, and had to fit heaters, radios and overdrives all the time. Power steering was a novelty, and most of the used cars my dad had when I was growing up in the 90's didn't have it. In fact, my neighbours 2001 Peugeot 106 doesn't have it, and that has hand crank windows and no central locking too! Same goes for auto's, only things I saw them on as a kid was BMW's and Jag's, they were considered slow, heavy and thirsty on fuel in smaller cars, and you only saw them on small cars if a person had a disability and couldn't use a clutch. My dad flat out refused to drive auto's until they became better over here in the 2000's he hated them that much. Even air con was a novelty until recently!

Actually in luxury car brands even as low as Cadillac, Lincoln, Chrysler (low in comparison to RR) even in some Chevy's and Ford's and cars of that stature, power windows were quite common even in the 60's. And automatic transmissions were extremely common in the 60's.

Terri Bel Bliss Not running on all cylinders

Agreed. But keep in mind the age of the Rolls plus he had the car door open are factors on that. Unsure of how many miles / kms the Rolls had done.

Probably needs new rings. Compression is probably off on all but one, and the ring is probably toast on one of them.

oil pressure sender unit is gone no thing els to do whit that engine

You are funny i like You

If by limos you mean most luxury vehicles, is because it's a premium, like this car was back then too. Nothing changed since this car was made and now, darling.

Limosines are useles today, Because they are too long. In urban areas parking and maneuvering are torture. So that limos replaced by wide and relatively long luxury sedans.

İbrahim Ertürk If you own a limousine, parking is the chauffeur's problem, not yours.

minus the front and rear separation you just described a Ford Aerostar

I think this car is called a limousine because it has enormous rear seat room, perfect for being chauffeur driven. Most people think of the stretch limousines like the Lincoln Town Car for example. On the other hand, this vintage Rolls-Royce Phantom limousine is really equivalent to the current generation Rolls-Royce Phanjtom EWB (extended wheelbase), at least in size.

@bearitone64 It's a yank reviewer - what did you expect?

I was thinking the same thing!!!, never rev up the old of an engi ,PLUS!!! it's not really about power back then but all about LUXURY!!,

It's possible the factory oil pressure gauge doesn't work anymore. The bourdon tubes fail on those gauges so they don't show pressure unless the entire assembly is replaced.

I have found with my Silver Cloud, when a gauge goes (3 - aperture, clock and radio that the problem was electric circuit.

Alan Steadman up

It's kept at a Rolls dealer I'm sure they keep the service up on it otherwise it wouldn't even run

Concordo

Sim

I agree with you 100%.

Josh Bennett Thank goodness!

+Earl Guyton A lot of their early V8's needed major, major rebuilds.

+Steven Meyer What do you mean by early? I am major believer in the 415 V8 myself being since I was a child we have three in our family and they are no trouble. But I do not believe any needed major major rebuilds as you state and that means you are a lame tongued person

You are not worth responding too, sir. Good bye.

yup, just want we thought. no oil pressure either!

suomenpresidentti He also failed to mention the amp gauge bouncing around and while showing how nice the interior is he forgot to mention or show the wear on the drivers door pull. Along with the engine sounding not quite up to par, to address these things and the privacy glass I'd bet this Rolls will need over well over $10,000 in repairs right off the bat. Nice car indeed but not to mention these things while talking it up would make me leary about what else is needed after all it is a 1960.

Tacoma 55 you have to remember that hes not trying to sell the car, hes documenting a piece of automotive history and this was most likely the only classic rolls available at the time. He cant do anything about the issues.

Sarang Kulkarni the car is well over 50 years old and the gauge probably doesnt work, but it is running on 7

Needs a new oil pump and most likely all 8 piston rings replaced. owning a classic car myself (though not a RR, I'm far from rich enough to buy one of these), I would probably replace the fuel pump as well.

And don't require antibiotics.

No I agree with you this car looks great. the 2012 phantom is just plane ugly.

LOL Rolls Royce lovers like me go gaga over these.

Peter Bradshaw Nice

fuck off you insolent piece of shit

No.

You don't honk a rolls Royce horn you uneducated classless vermin

@@simonjames3990 Oh yes you do!

I would guess Saudi Arabia.

That's because the design of the Sweptail was inspired by the classic Rolls Royce models.

you should never do that at all but i think he forgot or made a mistake

+Matt Shoe Looking at the temperature of most of the cars when he revs it, it's either full up to temperature or close to. Not disagreeing with it being very bad to rev a cold engine, however.

+Matt Shoe he preheats them before the videos

Driving it out of a garage is not enough time for it to get up to operating temperature, so stop calling people idiots. However, it's clear that he let the engine idle until it was hot enough to rev it a bit. Jeeze you guys.

I let my old car run for a few minutes every morning before going to town. In the winter, I let it run on choke to help it warm up quicker, and rev the engine lightly once the idle stabilizes to disable the choke (electronic choke).

If anyone watches closely, he usually cuts to the part where the car is warm enough.

That would be awesome! 😉👍🏻

That Aussie Fur need it in Horizon 3

That Aussie Fur u

Admit, it sounds nice. Doesn't sound like it's running on all 8, but still sounds nice for an out of tune engine.

+Len Peters Wrong. This is a 1960, not a 2015 Phantom. They absolutely could be heard back then most often

+Len Peters I think it needs a valve job.

There's a short between the steering wheel and driver's seat.Wahahahaha.😂😂😂😂😂

A Chevy firing on 2 cyls

Dutch Van Helsing that's weird because chevys don't run at all

@@darkerstormer5696 oh god bro 😂😂 I'm dying

Who cares

Do you call a Spitfire's engine cover a bonnet as well?

Yes..Quite. It's a Rolls..so it has a bonnet.

British huh? Looks like this model is designed to drive on the right side of the road sooo hood!

Not all people are British dude

I agree..it's a typical american thing
