There was nothing left that was original to the real rolls, except the dashboard, grille and bumpers. The body was made from polyester, the chassis a tubular frame and a chevy engine with a toyota gear box. So it's just a home made car with a plastic body on top.

@frongicide Жыл бұрын
Good video but you get a few details wrong. The chassis was not a bespoke tube frame, it was a Toyota HJ45 frame with a rollcage added. They choose that partially because the wheelbase line up almost perfectly. The original plan was to use the original Rolls/Bentley engine. They made an adapter and got the car running; however the engine broke during testing. The Chevy 350 was then mounted as a last minute fix.

Some amusing mis-mash of ze English language… Peter Sellers. One technical point, you should know, the Corniche model is a convertible Silver Shadow. The car in the story started as a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, never was a Corniche. They might have taken the roof off, but then again, there was already so little of the original RR left…

Proberably the best marketing done for Rolls Royce even though they did not authourise it ok expact it , I bet a lot of clients in the early 1980s bought a Roller because of the romantic myth behind the car , I bet the sales staff did nothing to stop the romantic interlude between paper and pen to sign the build contract . That said , that era of Rolls , Silver Shadow and Silver Spirit were pretty rugged on unpaved surfaces any way because they were built as tough cars that first , second and third owners would proberably abuse them in mechanical ways , believing the myth that Rolls's never needed servicing ect .
