Funny! I think of the button on the floor as the normal way to turn on brights, even after all these years. My Dad had an Electra 225, a couple of Olds 98s, and similar boats. They were every bit as luxurious as this Rolls. I think the Buick must have been longer, too. But of course, nothing beats a Rolls Royce. Good video.

My father had this car for a couple years. He let me drive it once. It was so smooth and powerful. Very much like the ‘72 Buick Riviera he had. I think the manual said that there were dual air conditioning compressors. And there was an umbrella stored in the door for the valet.

Those were real solid cars made to last

I WILL BUY THIS CAR!!!!

When I lived in SLC, Utah during the 1970's I had a '74, a '75, and a '76. I leased them from Master Lease, Ultra Lease and Peck & Shaw's RR, and sometimes from Ken Garff's. After that, in my mind I could never drive any other car. RIP Hugh Gardner, and Tony and Gil Hernandez.

What a beauty, love the Rolls Royce !!! ♥♥♥🇺🇸🇬🇧

Our 77 Buick Electra 225 had Power Locks!

The car was supposed to be level at all load conditions. Furthermore the name is spelled with a hyphen: Rolls-Royce. The hyphen has a special meaning, as it symbolizes Claude Johnson, who brought Henry Royce and Charles Royce together :) Your particular looks beautiful with the two-tone exterior and the red interior. But every buyer should be aware of the 15k$ this car needs for his first repairbill. Hydraulics and brakes with all the rubber, new tires, refurbished wood and leather...the price may have dropped, but maintanence not! (My 93 Bentley makes me not forget this..;) )

thats pritty thankyou sir.

reminds of the car used at the Peninsula hotel in Hong Kong.

Head rests were required by law on all vehicles solid the US starting in 1969, but I dont know why they were so small on the RR. Power locks were also not a big deal by 77, they became available in the early 1960s on high end American cars. The passenger side mirror was not required just yet but becoming more popular by the late 70's. You checked over your shoulder when changing lanes. I love the high beam switch on the floor. I don't know why they did away with that . You could just keep your toe rested on it and switch as needed. My 1990 F-150 still has this, as does my 1978 Lincoln.

I am bidding on a '72 this weekend if price isn't too high. "Doesn't run." Do you think this could be from old fuel? Only 10,000 miles.

Very Interesting 🎇

Beautiful

Top notch Roller

Never place the camera lower than eye-level, when shooting video, or still photography. Otherwise, the unintentional effect is that viewer's contend with the subtly unpleasant perspective of "peering up one's nostrils". And, never could there be a more subliminally defensive adversion to "hitting the Like Button". You are welcome. This valuable channel-building tip was offered entirely free of charge. 😉

I'd like to speak with Rolls-Royce Dave please

THIS Rolls is in FAIR shape. Wood and seats need to be re- furnished.

Don't we get to see the engine or inside the trunk?

Good video, but you could've used a high resolution camera, how much is the asking price

Dave, any chance you can post a new video showing what it looks like under the hood or on a lift under the car, lets hear it run and maybe do a short drive. How is the tread depth, block weep holes, shocks especially the rear ones the pocket on the bottom of the rear spring. Do you have any of the books maintenance records, rear footrest, sheepskins?

A beautiful example. How much did it go for?

There's a 1980. Rolls Royce Silver Shadow 2 for sale in my country. It costs 5990 euros to buy and I don't know if it's worth buying because there is a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow 1 from 1968 and it costs 18000 euros. Silver Shadow 2 looks much better but I'm not sure if I should buy it since it's 3 times cheaper than a Silver Shadow 1 and there must be a reason for it but I don't know what that reason is. So should I buy the Silver Shadow 2 for 5990 euros?

How much?

the price please?

Car did gave power locks before 1977 jaguar and rover in the uk had thesevfrom estly 1970s. Head restraint they are the continental or export market type the GB had front and rear matching this was an American compliance thing, the smaller front head restraint.. power windows aee easy to remember we do not have label today and we did not front work back Driver F, Pass F, Drivers Rear, pass Rear, that simple. They where called cigar lighters on all GB car cigarette light was an American thing.

The best thing you can do is say absolutely nothing!!

Regarding the head rests, how fat is your head Dave that you need a wider head rest? Also you seem to think that the controls that have their function clearly marked are "cool features". Why was air conditioning so interesting? Jeez Dave. You will never work as a salesman for Rolls Royce!
