No better way to start off the week than with a deep sigh from Bill!

A Rolls Royce never breaks down - it simply fails to proceed...

Love how the Rolls Royce hood ornament can retract safely away…allowing you to confidently park in the hood.

I love all the extra information and pictures and video that you add to your videos. You're making an extremely good quality product. You've done good, Bill.

That hood ornament is insane. Those big ass boom boxes in the truck don't leave much room for guns.

From what I've read and listened about the buyout: BMW was on the way to finalizing the purchase of RR/Bentley when VW came into the picture. BMW knew that the then owners of both brands didn't own the right to the name Rolls Royce and Spirit of Ecstasy symbol. When VW outbid them, they just went and bought the rights to the RR name and symbol from the rightful owners. Funny detail: some people knew that the RR brand had different ownership and tried to warn Piech about it, but he wouldn't listen; after the deal was done, someone finally told Piech that he had just bought Bentley and the factory but not the RR brand. Apparently he didn't take the news that lightly, demanding that the ties with BMW were cut immediately, not knowing how much of the cars relied on BMW parts/components/assemblies. And this is the reason the old 6.75 V8 came out of retirement and was fitted once again on Bentleys, replacing BMW's V12. And a "gentleman's agreement" was made in that BMW continued to supply Bentley with parts until the then current models were replaced.

Bill the kind of guy who breaks in his new tires on his neighbors lawn.

Dalton is GONE?!?! I can't believe this shit. He was so adorable...like that day you had the flat in that old Caddy and he came to your rescue. Granted, he did flip you off as you were standing there bitching while he was putting air in the tire, but that was just part of his charm that made him so lovable. And I began to love that it looked like he cleaned the windshields with a raw chicken leg, a trademark reminder of how wonderful he was. Bless his heart. Fuck.

I had a finger of whiskey every time Bill sighed. 20 minutes in and I'm drunk as a skunk.

I find it difficult to believe that the newer Rolls Royces have the panache of the earlier models. That kind of mystique is gone today. Back in the 1970s I had the pleasure of owning a Silver Wraith with a custom body by Rippon. It was a pretty two tone affair in silver and dark metallic grey. I drove it into Jack-in-the-Box to buy lunch. Of course on a Silver Wraith the bonnet precedes the customer by some length. All the kids in there came to the window at once and started asking me the strangest questions, like, "is the Flying Lady" ornament solid silver?" or "Is the engine sealed?" etc. All of us enjoyed the encounter a great deal. Today, some of that lore has fallen by the wayside.

Thank you for not running the absolute crap out of this gorgeous machine (on camera, anyway).

The physician who does the beats is a keeper. I'm using that for sure.

I hate the bright white headlights that have become the standard on automobiles today, even on this 2012. Just too bright at night. How has this become acceptable in our society. I do not like to drive at night anymore. It is a hazard. It should be illegal.

British Royal Family didn't adopt Rolls-Royce for their main transport needs until the mid-1950s, up until that point it was Daimler that supplied the cars.

Great to hear from you again Bill, hope you've been keeping well.

Great video and history lesson on Rolls Royce! I love it when Bill mentions the price of $280-$300K and say’s it practically a people’s car and I wonder if it floats? That company getting the Bentley nameplate ultimately! 😅

Bill from Curious Cars: the only guy who can get away with comparing Rolls Royce to high quality anti-diarrhea medication.

Since most of the current royalty in England is from Germany, I'd say it's absolutely Fritz wearing the queen's robes.

"Physician that makes the Beats" hahaha. That was awesome.

I can see Bill having lumber loaded into the trunk of this car at Home Depot, and throwing the speaker boxes in the garbage lol!

Farewell to the understated elegance that was the hallmark of Rolls Royce. I guess this one might not have been all that bad before the monied rapper got hold of it. Thanks for the history and background of the company, Bill.

I can’t believe Bill does not have a million subscribers.

Driving around giving people the finger while looking for chamber maids I can abuse!😂Your priceless Bill!Never stop!

This channel is the best of KZfaq.

Thanks for another great video Bill :) Absolutely love your reviews !!!! and the humour helps in the heatwave here too !

Maserati's Quattroporte platform is not shared with Chrysler. It's a rear-wheel-drive architecture from the Fiat group called the M156. That's also shared with the Levante and the Ghibli. The switchgear as well as the electronics are shared from Chrysler's parts bin.

You f'n killed me with the Grey Poupon 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀

Wow! I thought everyone forgot about Adi Amin by now. But that’s what makes these videos special!

Hi Bill - Great review! Those C pillar mirrors are another long running historical feature and are meant to be used as vanity mirrors, a quick look before you get out of the car to face your adoring fans. I know they go back to the Silver Cloud days of the 1960s, maybe even before.

Hey Bill, what a pleasant surprise to see a Monday video!!! Another muggy shitty Florida day. This Rolls Royce is a nice touch of class!!! Thanks for sharing this exciting video!!! 👍👍🙂

Please elaborate on the Daewoo leganza story

You're a legend, Bill. Never change!

Cadillac is the Rolls-Royce of automobiles.

That hotel in Manchester is called The Midland. I live about half a mile from it and every time I go for a drink in the bar there I remember it being where RR was formed. Mainly because there's a big plaque on the wall by the front door commemorating it.

I always stop everything immediately to watch a new Curious Cars video from Bill! Where can I buy the “Good Morning “ coffee cup?

I like those doors. you can secure your car with handcuffs.

Bill, time to start a Podcast! The miles fly by listening to your great reviews/stories.

How’s it going Bill always look foward to the cool cars and your great humor! 🤣👍🏼

Its been 3-4 years now that before my final decision on a car I check with Bill’s reviews. Keep up the good work. Gonna definitely swing by to get a selfie with Bill. Much Love. ❤

@21:16 Imagine the comments at the shop when the previous owner wanted to have those speaker boxes installed in the trunk; "You want to do what?! To a Rolls-Royce?!?!?!"

My gosh when you mentioned the ludicrous rear view mirrors I couldn't stop noticing it!!! They look so silly! 🤣🤣

I once saw a rather derelict looking RR Silver Shadow complete with a roof rack at a local Home Depot.

"The Dr Hammers". You are a sarcastic, elitist GENIUS!

I love how they replaced the BMW bong with a version done on a harp and called it good 😀

Bill I need you to do a video on any car in winter in the Midwest or east coast when nothing works in -20 x Degree weather

I reckon if this were the 2 door version, then the theme of this video would've been "the return of personal luxury"

Hi Bill, thank you for your videos. This car is just gorgeous. Climb in and crank up that AC. 👍👍

FYI those preset buttons that dominate the dash can be set to do almost anything: navigate home, call the wife, etc.

Thanks for a proper 40-minute piece on this beast! Just noticed we're at 150k Subscribers - Congrats Bill! Seems like just yesterday when we did that R107 piece, where you presented that 100k plaque from Susan, CEO of KZfaq. Indeed, strange name for a dude! 🤟🥃🥴

Another great day for the KZfaq car scene, thanks Bill !! 🙌🏽🐐

Bill, thanks as always for another great producing, your hitting streak continues.

Thanks Bill, great review and lovely car, plus I can appreciate the heritage, but sadly it does nothing for me as a classic car guy. I have a 76 Shadow which is more my cuppa tea, despite the issues that comes with 🙂 And yes, if one turned up at a RR event without matching lambswool over-rugs, one would simply be expelled. At least you have sprung for the Grey Poupon!!

Time 16:15… Hey Bill, love your videos brother. With your subtle to egregious humor constantly vacillating from one to the other, we never know quite what to expect! Oh yea, and it’s nice to hear about the vehicles also. 😉 Keep up the good work friend! PS*** When I saw that quite ridiculous, ostentatious motorized hood ornament, I just knew some of your witty sarcasm was soon to follow! 😂 PPS*** Many younger viewers may not have gotten it, but your reference to: “Pardon me, but would you happen to have any Grey Poupon” was hilarious! 👍👍👍

Just good to see a sedan. CUVs make me want to puke.

Lottery winner owned it, most likely.

Love to see a video on a daewoo

Oh! It’s got ashtrays!! Count me in! Seriously.

21:12 Something tells me that car has a power opening/closing trunk lid which probably no longer works after being forced open/closed 😂😂😂

The Grey Poupon had me laughing so hard I hurt...

My neighbor bought a beautiful '61 Bentley, but it took me decades to grasp his ride was much less money than a '58 ElDorado Biarritz!!

Okay Bill !--U convinced me--I'll buy it! As long as I get the Grey Poupon as an accessory!--(make sure it's Not expired 😜)

The disapproving frowns and glares from other drivers is most likely what made you sorta happy about this thing. Plus with the blacked out glass, it might have even put an actual smile on your face..

I say this as a brokey that will probably NEVER actually get inside one of these.. GOD IT IS BEAUTIFUL! The amp and speakers are prerequisite too

YES!!! Its a shitty day until Bill posts a video!!!

I like the sense of humour with “Slow people ahead” and the just stop oil protesters which happens to be an anagram of just to spoil.

Bill is the best Thx Bill. You amaze me with your smarts.

If the SOB'S would have gotten out of his way he could have really got her going on the highway 😂😂😂😂

Nothing announces you've arrived quite like being greeted by a ukulele! 🤔🤣 That change in attitude! 😭

They start at $300K? What a bargain -- I'll take two of them!

Started like my old 750 m70 fom 1990😂❤ Good video Men!😅

Can’t believe all those commoners were impeding your progress. Outrageous!

I was expecting an umbrella in the rear door.

23:00 Gotta say it: That trunk lid closing sound could be a '70s Chevy.

Nice touch with the Grey Poupon !!

Your videos are always amazing. I absolutely love your walk through and hilarious talking points!! 😂

We love you BILL! from NYC!

Finally, a car that suits Bill. ;)

Congrats on 150k subs! Car is gorgeous, not a fan of the rims. Cops will have a field day with the window tint.

Finally you are here, Bill!

Great car and video. Look forward to them. Thanks Bill

1:16 Looks suspiciously like The Car. Better be careful Bill.

"that physician that does beats?" 🤣

Me after getting in a distracted driving wreck - "Yes officer? Oh yeah, I was raising and lowering the naked lady" I know, never tell them anything!

BIL BILL BILL Whiskey drickin' Bill The DOUCHEBAGGARY OF IT ALL. NOW I WANT ONE.

A gorgeous car, but god those door mirrors spoil it some what. I'm writing this just a few miles from the Midland Hotel(still very posh) in Manchester UK where the two gentlemen met. They built the first cars in Manchester ironically only few miles from where Ford started building Model T's.

'LOW' is a reference to low gear ratio, which you use for some extra performance. It's the R-R word for 'Sport'.

Amazing vehicle, feels like you experience something special just watching the car being driven on video, thanks for sharing.

"Poor. miserable, and annoyed"! Ha! Man after my own heart! We'll have to go out drinking together sometime!!

Ditch the front license plate, please

The hood ornament is almost as cool as pop-up headlights!!

Thanks again Bill for all you do!

Great review of an iconic car.

Bill, if all men like you owned a car like that, the world would be a better place.

Hey Bill, don't ever change, anything. We like it just the way it is. It has been an interesting, coincidental, back to back review, between the Thunderbird, and the Rolls. On a quick pass, the Rolls is the absolute attention-getter and supposedly a way better car than an old Thunderbird could ever be. However after a more considered look, maybe the old Thunderbird is a more appealing car. It definitely makes a better sound under load and I think it will be a much better attention getter at any cars and coffee, so, Thunderbird suddenly steps up the grade a few notches while the Rolls setlles or maybe drops back a notch or two. Thunderbird is a much better looking car than the Rolls, although realistically you would surely never be choosing between one or the other as a purchase decision.

Those woofer boxes, not planning to do airport duty then!

Bill, love your reviews. But the Ghost to me just looks like a pimped-out Chrysler 300. I know it oozes luxury, I just can't get past the look. A few years ago, I saw a drunk goof ball drive up in one at a restaurant & completely misjudged a huge rock next to a parking spot. He put a huge scrape from front wheel opening on the driver's side to the rear so bad that he had to use the passenger door to get out. Unfrickin believable.

Glad to finally see a Chrysler 300 being reviewed 👍

Did you bring your Grey Poupon? "But of course" you did! 😂🤣

that physician that does the beats 😆😎

What does one do with servants? Priceless 🤣
