sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost the account password. I love any assistance you can offer me!

@Raiden Trace Instablaster ;)

@Kylo Joseph thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Kylo Joseph it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out !

@Raiden Trace Glad I could help =)

I did not know there were 4 door Corniche. I've only seen the 2 door versions.

Barely visible dude is hot?

@@jimsmith7071 I think it's a law of something that anyone driving a Rolls Royce is hot.

Maybe I can get a better look at hot dude on television. On phone, I barely can make him out. The car is hot.

Just weld on more plates inside the sills.

@@byteme9718 whole subframe has to be made rigid, otherwise body flex in an 4 door open monocoque chassis would lead doors will popping open... That is why there are so few 4 door convertibles in modern cars without a full chassis.

@@stephenberry8658 A sub frame is just that and this car has two, one at the front carrying the front suspension arms,, hubs engine and transmission and one at the rear carrying the suspension, hubs and final drive. What you're referring to is strengthening the body. Doors can't "pop open" because the door locks are anti-burst by law. I've worked with these cars throughout most of my life for one of the only companies in the world that were qualified to carry out heavy collision damage. These cars flex all over the place even as a standard two door and one of the modifications carried out by the factory was to do as I said and add stiffener plates inside the sills. I know this because on more than one occasion we had to replace them due to heavy side impacts. Officially the plates didn't exist as MPW deemed they would never be needed in service. This wasn't uncommon and was one of hundreds of parts that were unlisted. On of my jobs was to visit MPW, walk down the line and find what was needed which we were then given and without a part number there was no price. These stiffener plates were then attached using hundreds of spot welds, enough to kill one of our machines. Adding rigidity is only really possible by stiffening inside the sills whether by more than one additional plate or incorporating a box beam within it. There's a few other things that can be done but none would involve the "subframe". I've known about this car for years and there's one thing I can guarantee, it would have had very poor rigidity and would have flexed so much it would have split the paint at stress points. I know this because this used to happen on the standard cars, often within months. Even the standard four door cars like the Spirit used to suffer paint cracks almost from new.

@@byteme9718 Thanks for the detailed clarification. My boss' new 1978 Silver Shadow was 9 months old and suffered cracking of the paint on the base corner of the windscreen. Is this the same issue on the Silver Spirit. I was at Hoopers in London in 1990 when they were working on RR Silver Spirit conversion to their first open Emperor State Landaulette version of their Emperor Limousine. The RR Engineer George Moseley was bought out of retirment to design the hood mechanism and structural integrity because the car was 40 inches longer and 4 inches higher, with a convertible rear, lift out targa insert for standing for ceremonial occasions and a sunroof over the rearward facing seats. George came up with a special exo skeletal X frame on the underside of the car to meet tortional stiffness testing. The original option of a 4 door stretch convertible was canned because is was not possible structrually. The Emperor State Landaulette was last sold by actioned by RM Sotheby in Arizona in January this year along with the Phantom V State Landaulette orginally ordered by Ceausescu. Prices were subdued for each car.

@@stephenberry1205 Hoopers had their authorised repairer status removed long before 1990. I'm not sure why but it likely had quite a lot to do with production of cars Rolls-Royce didn't approve of. That said some of what they did was done quite well and in particular their used of custom made lengthened roof and floor panels when extending cars instead of cutting and shutting. From memory, in 1990 they were owned by the same company that made the black cabs in that era.

You are so Right

Squeaky doors are a terrible handicap.

DJL66 I agree. Last 4 door convertible in the USA, was a 1941 Cadillac series 62. Lots of frame balancing and reenforced cross members behind the back seat to prevent body roll at the same time retaining the center of gravity. Difficult then as it is now

DJL66 Rolls Royce produced only one 4 door drop head coupe with the Corniche designation. All others, and there are a few, were after market conversions. Whilst attractive, the rear doors are too small for easy access, but attractive nonetheless. Cheers!

@@peterhuskisson2715 What about the 66 Lincoln continental convertible with the suicide doors?

Peter Huskisson No Lincoln continental 4 door convertible from 1961-67.

Not sure. My 1965 Silver Cloud III has a Radiomobile. My father's Shadows were the same make but you could have other makes if you wanted them.

I believe it is exactly what the title states......a Corniche IV converted to a 4 door by Niko Michael Coachwork. There were MPW Silver Shadow convertibles, but those were in the late 60's early 70s. Then they were renamed to Corniche. There is no such thing as a Silver Shadow III.

James Chaffe Correct, but there is a Shadow 2. The interior, trim, engine and trappings are somewhat different. The model shown is an aftermarket conversion on a Corniche platform. Otherwise, the front seats would not release forward and the interior trim would be much different. The conversion is most attractive, whilst perhaps not as desirable as the standard two door version. It's all a matter of preference. Cheers....

@@richardronk4445 Absolutely correct

The point is to show that they are all functioning correctly.

@@SevenHillsMotorcars Also shows the set up of frameless windows for a unique 4 door convertible

Sony, this car has been sold.

Absolutely agree with you. They don't care about their traditional clients anymore. I'm sticking with my 1965 Silver Cloud III. I've had it 42 years, as the second owner. It is driven nearly every day and has never let me down.

Enjoy your Cloud Michael from a Silver Spur owner. I know exactly what you mean.!@@michaelmontagu3979

@@michaelmontagu3979 Good for you Michael, And I'll stick with my 82 Silver Spur.

Wrong! It is a corniche that has had major coach work done. You can tell by the simple fact that the front seats have the release lever to move the back forward.

@@leonmatterson562 sorry you are the one that is wrong.

@@chrisdorrell1 The Shadow II finished in 1980. I had a 1978 model. The Corniche Convertible continued to 1996. This is a 1994 model. You can easily tell the donor car was a 2 door Corniche IV from the swept up waist line and rear doors, plus different rear boot and tail lights. And the tilting front seats is another clue. Definitely not a chopped Shadow.

I estimate the car was lengthened about 8 to 10 inches behind the centre pillar to facilitate the rear door. Corniche has a different substructure to Shadow. Amazing standard of coachwork. I saw Hooper & Co in London turn a 1989 Silver Spur donor car into a Emperor State Landaulette over 2 years of construction. It was 40 inches longer than a Silver Spirit (36 inches over the Spur) and could not be built as a 4 door convertible due to structural rigidity. Windows were also higher to keep car's proportions. There were additional rear quarter windows, plus a lift out targa top to allow standing for ceremonial occasions. The engineer designed an addition X subframe even though to convertible part was only over the rear lounge. There was a glass chauffeur's front compartment with a opening glass partition. The centre rear facing seats had an electric sunroof which retracted back over the chauffeur's compartment. How about a Toshiba laptop in 1991 as well as LCD TV, campagne fluets, spirt glasses, his & hers silver Asbery's grooming sets. Coachbuilders do some amazing stuff. Hoopers also converted 4 door Silver Spurs & Bentleys into 2 door coupes. Later they added a convertible rear hood on 4 door sedans.

@@stephenberry1205 ~I think I have the last 1996 four convertible and mine is also White to go with my white house and white grand piano. A bit of trivia my rolls is a daily driver since I bought back in 2000😉😤😆
