My Dad use to own the 4 door version of this car. But a little newer, and not so great shape as this one is. He passed away and my Mother owned it. The. It was sold in the estate process. The people who bought it then sold to to someone in Russia who payed $29,000 shipping costs. So hopefully it will be restored and loved by others.

... Salut my friend super car super ...

I was lucky enough to own one of these.

would be cool to have guns instead of tools in the tool tray.

Nice finish lots of hard work .I was a sprayer my dad too we restored an old Bently stripped it to bare metal ectch primer then oil based primer applied with a brush many hours of flatting .The finish was incredible Bentley midnight blue ,looking at it was like looking into a mirror. Sadly dad passed in October nice memories though.

This is not a sidevalve engine as it should be on an SS I !!!

Who thought that a RR should have rubber bumpers FFS!

Thank you, great work/video.

Sadly Lord Bath died last year with covid

A most beautiful car. !!!!!

Hard to hear about the process…kill the music

Looks beautiful presume it runs the same way. The drophead appears to have different door handles to the saloon.

It's just a matter of time before electric retrofits become mainstream, and these most excellent cars will be prime candidates for conversion. The Rolls power train is reliable, but as the mechanicals age people will ditch gasoline engine and convert to electric as qualified mechanics become hard to source. There are many examples of such wizardry on YT. Call me a snob, but I would rather have a Rolls retrofit electric than a new Tesla. Can you imagine driving a Citroen SM with a modern electric power train? Oh the power!

It looks like the distributor is not quite symmetrically installed ?

The gearbox you have used is from a prewar ohv jaguar saloon and so has a rubber rear mounting. The SS1 gearbox had no rear mounting, the gearbox being simply cantilevered off the engine. So your fabricated rear mounting bracket is superfluous. The gearlever extension is not correct for the SS1.

The Andre Hartford shock absorbers on the SS1 should be at right angles to the chassis, not parallel to it. For the type of brackets fitted to this car no additional bracketry is needed. They have a drop link that engages with the eye in the front axle midway between the road spring and the brake backplate. It seems you have copied someones modification!

Excellent work but the rear suspension needs work to it. Completely dropped.

Thanks for sharing. My family has a collection of 6 Jaguars collectibles.

It would have been nice to pinstripe the hubcaps

The queen ❤

So much money spent and the tool tray lid green lining doesn't match the tool tray! Why?

Nice job! Only the pinstripe appears to be too thick.

How much did this job cost the owner?

My company makes a kit to convert these cars to a Holley 4150 - if you have one with serious ignition issues or serious injection problems go with us

An amazing tribute to your dedication to restore the building as a first-class vintage car museum. Mesmerized by your creativity and vision in developing such a special place in the car collector world, yet with so many personal and human touches.

The rear suspension could do with some money spent on it. It must ride and drive something awful. Nice body and interior.
