I am aware RR is not using Connolly leather anymore. I saw a new RR recently and noticed there was practically no smell of leather in it.
@Hattonbank3 жыл бұрын
That's because Connoly Leather closed down almost 20 years ago. The tanning process has changed over the years, the smell is different but the leather is fundamentally the same.
@byteme9718 Жыл бұрын
Connolly leather was crap from the mid 1980's until their well deserved demise. The warranty costs because it had to be used to meet a false expectation cost a fortune in warranty claims. As for smell, when Autolux was introduced in 1985, many owners complained about the smell compares to their previous cars.

The entire operation appears so crude it’s amazing that any “quality” ever resulted. Even the workers are sloppily attired. Today’s technology assisted methods; cutting the leather or milling the wood produces a more precise product.

Whether you cut leather by hand, with knives under a press, or by computer contrlled cutting, you get the same effect. All three versions are still in use within the modern automotive industry. Veneered components use a mixture of hand work, machinery, and robots. This video concentrates on the hand work because to the observer, it looks more interesting, and emphasises the handwork, whereas the machines/robots are a bit unemotional. It is good PR. You can go and buy a cheap £100 wooden table, or a carefully crafted, beautifully styled one for £5000. They might perform the same function, but to those who apreciate such items, the pleasure is also in seeing the beauty, not just the function of the product.

The interior quality of 1990s RRs is impeccable and that of any modern car - and I really mean any - is utter rubbish in comparison.
@byteme9718 Жыл бұрын
You don't have a clue what you're talking about. Technology assisted cutting saves cost and time, it can't select the best parts to use in the way a human eye and hand stretching can. That's why you'll see a modern Rolls-Royce, Bentley of Aston Martin with obvious defects in high visual impact areas. As for the wood, it WAS milled in 1995. WTF does what the workers are wearing have anything to do with their skills?

pardon me please if we decide to be little kind with animals & have a gentle world for mankind & nature- the first thing would begin by finding better options to leather- have given up using leather completely- this is only my personal view- for those who want it- i have nothing to say against or otherwise.
@Hattonbank3 жыл бұрын
Cattle are never slaughtered for their hides, they are too valuable for that, they are slaughtered for their beef. When the meat has been cut and packaged for sale, the bones for bonemeal pet feed and fertiliser, intestines for pharmaceutical and food/beauty industries, and hides are sold to tanneries and turned into car/aircraft/furniture/shoe leather. It is better to use it than bury it in landfill or burn in an incinerator, don't you agree?

@@Hattonbank i see you have an opinion there- i only refrain to use any sort of animal bi-product application as far as possible in my living.
@Hattonbank3 жыл бұрын
@@gentlerowdy Well it's not so much an opinion, but a fact that if there was no consumption of beef, there would be no leather, so if cattle are raised for beef and the hide is a by product, then it would be wasteful not to use it, although i do understand that some people do not eat meat nor use any animal product. If no one eats beef or drinks milk, there will be no cattle because they are not pets, they would disappear from the earth. Before World War 1 there were tens of millions of draught horses in Europe on the farms, pulling wagons, buses, cabs. When the internal combustion engine came along, they gradually disappeared, there are no draught horses anymore in use. The same would happen to cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, except for a few wild ones.

I've always wanted a Rolls Royce and have my family know that. It's become a joke as it's always the first thing on my gift wish list. Well three years ago I had some extra money and so I made up my mind that I was going to get something I've always wanted with it. Either the Rolls, my dream home (which had come up on the market) or a Chris Craft Constellation. Well my wife nixed the house so then it was the Rolls. But instead I found the Cruiser first! I'm still restoring it 3 yrs. later.
