What is your favourite Roller?

My dad owned a Silver Shadow LWB with a glass division.I drove it when I was 15.Brilliant car.

The Silver Shadow should not be overlooked. It took the company from the 1930s to the modern era in a single step, then kept them alive until the Volkswagen takeover. In importance I would argue it to be second only to the 40/50hp, which cemented the brand’s reputation.

Well I owned a number of Rolls Royces years ago and found them to be reliable and very well made, always my favorites. But then again Matchbox cars of all makes were fairly indestructible.

Honorable mention: the Silver Shadow that was taken to Dakar

The best Roll’s ever built was FAB 1, just ask Parker.

When I think, "Rolls Royce", the Silver Cloud III (1963 - 1966) with it's quad-headlamps and beautifully sculpted fenders and doors always comes to mind. Magnificent Automobile!

I remember the ad copy for the Corniche in the 70s said something like: "At speeds over 100 mph, when other cars are straining, the Corniche is still idly inspecting its nails."

The first automatic transmission was NOT purchased "directly" from General Motors. It was the General Motors design manufactured by Rolls-Royce under license from General Motors with modifications to accommodate Rolls-Royce's servo-assisted braking system.

Fabulous. I’m glad to own 5 out of the 8 Rolls-Royce’s in the story

I had a 64 Cloud 3. Other than the fact that I should have received a personally signed Christmas card from The Sultan of Brunei, given it's outrageous thirst for dead dinosaurs, it was a wonderful car. A 500 mile trip was just nothing to think about and it had some wondrous quirks. I bought it on a whim, having sold a boat for exactly the asking price and while I sold it for a handsome profit 19 months later, when I decided that the front seat passenger had a likelihood of becoming a permanent fixture in my life, I never regretted a minute of owning it.

You should have included the Silver Sarah 1998- 2002, so beautiful , and very rare. Some might even say the last real Rolls- Royce ever built......

Awesome video,wow,great content, inspiring, totally informative,well done

You did not mention the Camargue. I have never seen one, but understand that pictures do not do it justice.

Nice video , I am happy they still use the V12 6.7 litre engine .

Nice video, love the Corniche convertible.

Surprised not to see the long production run and game changing Silver Shadow model(s) mentioned

1966 Silver Cloud II V8 with the first RR twin headlights is my favourite ever

Phantom VII coupé is my favorite

Technically it hasn’t been British for some time and yes, the “money did dry up” It’s, sadly, been German owned for years now…

Amazing clip on the car company.

What, now SC III Park Ward Chinese Eye in here, lol. Such a design. More seriously, the SC III Flying Spur bodies did have a lithe, almost graceful look, and with a proper front end pulled it off better than David Brown's Lagonda Rapide of the same period - though of course the latter was a proper sporting sedan which could handily steal the SC's lunch money and more besides.

Absolutely appreciate the brands success & longevity. Not my cup of tea as a car but a real success story. An excellent case study for all marketing students

I noticed that there were no fans of the Silver Seraph. Thanks for the video.

The elegance departed when bmw arrived. Now they are just a paint and trim shop for bmw’s luxury german tank division.

My favourite Rolls Royce (since you ask) is any Rolls Royce that I receive as a gift. But failing that (and continuing to live hopelessly), it would be the 1934 Phantom II Continental with bodywork by Kellner of Paris.

Silver Shadow!

Weren't the 6.75 ltr engines always referred to as 6 and 3/4? Somehow, that's stuck in my mind like the formula for sulphuric acid, which I learnt over 40 years ago and never needed to know again.

Yeah sorry I'm a Bentley guy myself, but I did like the picture of the Cornish with the Serph front end, 100yrs on & I can't forgive Rolls for melting down the Bentley silverware from Le Manns, Rj in Oz

The true Rolls-Royces stopped when BMW bought the rights to the brand name. Most who drive the real ones equate buying the re branded BMWs to buying a grandfather clock with a digital movement.

I am sure we all have our favorites. Me? Why a 1995 Corniche IV and 2002 Silver Seraph. The Seraph is, to my mind, one of the most beautiful sedans ever created.

The Cullinan could be the most luxurious if would be offered with 7 seats

8:49 phantom my favorite

You can say what you want but the Cullinan has no right being here. Rather have the Silver Seraph instead...

My favourite RR is from The Cannonball Run driven by the Sheik,he was some boy😉

Fantastic video

Cloud was the last elegant Rolls. The Shadow and everything since look like a bowler hat on wheels

what was the music used when introducing the phantom 1.

MMM. I think Captain Slow said it all for me.

Rolls Royce Cars are really Majestic 🔥

It has to be the Celestial Diamond 💎

Yet to come.

I watched a test drive of the Rolls SUV at Goodwood, and it was impressive.

AMAZING CARS AWESOME SUPERB ! ! ! ! ! MAGICAL ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Increíble su belleza,el mío el ghost actual

Is this commentary for schools?as I’m not seven could we plse have Adult commentary not dumbed down nonsense 💁‍♂️

The incorrect quotes and “misinformation” in this video are mind boggling .

Phantom Drophead Coupe over any of these. All day long.

Funny how Diesel engines were never popular in the Israeli automobile market.

The only thing that works in my 1995 Corniche IV is the radio because it’s Japanese.

The Round Door. 🖤👽

I reckon the modern ones look pretty blocky. Not like the ones of old with sweeping sides.

I was saying no, no, no, hearing at same time yes, yes, yes, and Culli... (I can't even write the name) nightmare was going on! Where is the Silver Shadow? Aside historical RR, excepting younger guys, we all grown-up for so long time with that model, many do not know the name, actually it was Rolls Royce! I still remind "Professionals" theme with images of a runaway incursion at high speed! Time when 20 years service make economical sense investment for something normal persons will get in delay on their "cheap" Rover shortening enjoying period. Pininfarina Camargue in presence give you a feeling of grandeur with some details lightening the car especially the rear pillars. Could be an alternative? Thank you for this video, Bye

I love Bri, ish cars, there so expensive.

For me the best cars in the world!!!! They only have one point i don‘t like! I will never can afford me one!

Maharaja of Bikaner used the rolls.royce cars to clean His city streets..in 1920 s..

I bet you a dollar there are official figures. You think an automobile company doesn't know, down to the individual VIN each and every car they made?

WOW

Missed out the Silver Shadow , which was an excellent car , and one of the nest known . Certainly a better car than a Cloud .

The classic Silver Shadow, according to James May, was a true People's Car. Why ? How could such an elitist opulent unaffordable limo be such ? Because so many were made and sold, the second hand market blossomed with them to become wedding cars. More people began their new married life in one than anything else ! Surely millions have travelled in one that way. What other car can say that ?

Wait what? The Silver Ghost chassis was used until 1929??? Holy rollers, bat chap!

I'm sorry - am I missing something here, it may have an impeccable interior, but I don't get the Cullinan - I think it cheapens the marque. If I wanted a top 4x4, I'd have an Audi or a Range Rover or something. Listen to me dreaming away - as if I could even afford a Matchbox Rolls.

You skipped the Phanthom IV, and it's exclusivity.

Pity you did not mention Lawrence of Arabia's RR armoured cars in WW1

_"if there's any company in the world that fits making an overly big, overly ostentatious car, then surely it has to be..."_ Cadillac IMO

an suv on top? are you mad?

Фантом классный

From 2003, these are no longer RRs but Blink blink cars for rappers or football players... Too bad ! They look like lumps of butter.

08 and clasic 1 2 3 viling crod

Why is all the big diamonds under British hierarchy

Nothing from 71 - late 90s?

How dare you put "rolls-royces" as a single word in the opening picture

Where is 1925 rolls royce phantom coupe?

Who is eating microwave burritos in the Rolls-Royce

Can you turn down the annoying red -blue hue.

What is a roller, garden roller steamroller, it’s called a Rolls-Royce for a reason not a roller‼️🇬🇧

Here's a car that never managed to convince me

I love how they skipped right over the 1980s and 90s. lol

cullinan?!? and that gets you a thumbs down

"Springfield, USA". Ha ha ha. Which of the 41?

No Silver Shadow? Oh well, probably not that important that it saved the company from collapse.

👍

The most BMW car of all time

Best rolls Royce was Toyota corolla

죽기 전에 한번 타보려나 ^^;;;

The problem about the Cullinan is not that it is an SUV. The problem is its underwhelming design. The 60.000 £ Velar has more Rolls-Royce-ishness than this boxy, unbalanced thing.

"There are economic reasons Rolls has survived this long." There are zero economic reasons Rolls-Royce has survived this long. They haven't. -----wikipedia-----[my comments]------------------------------------------------ Survived this long... Do you mean : - Rolls-Royce Limited, a British manufacturer of cars and later aero engine, founded in 1906, now defunct? - Rolls-Royce Motors, incorporated in 1973 - - Bought by Vickers [meaning, didn't survive AGAIN] in 1980. [The survived for 7 whole years. Wow.] - - A subsidiary of Volkswagen Group [meaning, didn't survive AGAIN] from 1998 to 2002. [4. Years. Hella wow survival rate.] - Rolls-Royce Motor Car, incorporated in 1998, a subsidiary of BMW Group? BMW acquired the rights to the Rolls-Royce trademark for use on automobiles and launce a new Rolls-Royce company. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The current Rolls-Royce is not a survival of Rolls-Royce; liquidated 1971. The current Rolls-Royce is BWM with a sticker on it. The thing that survived is the sticker. It is Rolls-Royce exactly as much as Sargon of Akkad is Sargon of Akkad (no offence, Carl).

Those who own a Rolls aren’t watching this video

Not beautiful but stately for sure.

Interesting, but I like Bentley better, not that I would ever buy either. Just too! much snobbery involved with these over priced cars. Just give me a beats walking and I'll be happy.

Cullinan shouldn't be on the list. It's a disappointment.

You taunt the fact that Rolls died in a plain crash as some sort of achievement. Have some decency and slow down your narration, show some respect.

Completely pointless. Anyone who knows cars let alone Rolls Royce knows everything that was talked about here.

Yes, because it is German.

How could you make a video about the history of Rolls Royce without mentioning the silver shadow… silver shadow were amount the highest produced!!! Terrible content!! Historically incorrect video.

Interesting rewriting of history. Surprised you don't claim Skoda and Toyota as being British as well. Laughable and sad piece of inferiority complex propaganda.

RR is not a british Car! It belongs GERMANY! A Tesla build in China is not a chinese Car !!!

What a mess this viedo is .

That suv is trash.
