this is the original purchase agreement from 1961. what in the world is that all right guys this is a total nightmare this was the hardest part of today like 350 and we're still really hot on coolant yeah it does sound pretty good look at this it's a rolls-royce you gotta have the great it's not a musical instrument although it does sound pretty good well i made a little bit of an impulse buy and by a little bit i mean a very very big impulse buy i'm going to the amelia island concours car show again and just like last year i wanted to have a cool car there so i did the most logical thing i found a cool car sort of kind of near the show and my plan is to drive it there hence why i am in south carolina 26 000 lighter and the proud new owner of a 1961 rolls-royce silver cloud 2. now i know nothing about this car other than they use the silver cloud 3 in the old gray poupon commercials and that this one needs a lot of work so from what i can tell right now it needs something with the brakes it has no brakes all right it's got no brakes and it makes a really really weird noise that was smells weird i don't know if this is the best road trip car it's also got a little bit of a misfire and it's been sitting for basically five years so it was owned by an older lady she just let it sit forever the fuel turned into varnish it's kind of a big mystery i got it for a really good price because of this and i for some reason think this is a a good car to drive 150 miles to a car show yeah okay now i've given myself one entire day to fix everything on this silver cloud to make it road worthy keep in mind it is 60 years old and i actually had given myself two days but my plane the plane that i was taking here not my own plane it broke so my flight got delayed and now i only have one day but luckily uh steve who brokered the deal who you're gonna meet here momentarily has already drained all the varnishing fuel out and at least at this point it starts so we're starting from somewhere i guess all right so if my new rolls-royce can't believe i'm saying that if my new rolls-royce doesn't burn to the ground if it makes it to the show and i can eventually ship it back to the legit street quarters i'm probably gonna make a full episode on just geeking out over weird stuff so a little teaser here guys when you pop this little cover off these are the fuses these pieces of wire are fuses and here are your spare fuses from rolls royce they're just kind of tied away here and when one melts away or burns up you cut off a piece of wire and replace it yeah yeah i've never seen that really cool it also has two glass mason jars they look like literal mason jars for the brake fluid so i guess this has dual master cylinders and i think one of them doesn't work that's why we don't have any brakes this is my favorite part of this car i think is the documentation so this is the original purchase agreement from 1961. so this guy traded in a continental lincoln mark ii and he paid 14 000 for the rolls they gave him 1500 bucks for his lincoln so that kind of stinks but they just kept immaculate records and the paper just looks brand new it looks like this was printed yesterday so we have receipts from this one's from 1963. look at this 20 000 mile service this guy actually drove this thing 70 for the 20 000 mile service that would probably be like three four grand right now on a rolls royce i have no idea there's letters um from from people from the car dealership it's just it's unbelievable so i have tons of records there's more in here as well so anyway we just have too much to get to in this video because we have to fix everything on this for me to be able to drive it i hope uh all the way to the show and use it as basically my rental car for the entire weekend so anyway with that uh i think we're gonna start off with the brakes those are kind of important all right so this is steve he brokered this deal so this was owned by an older lady that steve knew and she had this car in atlanta georgia right atlanta georgia and prior to that it was uh mostly a western car spending time on nevada in california yeah which is one big reason i was attracted to it it's basically rust free and these bodies are all aluminum that's right which is great those are aluminum yeah so obviously the body's rust free but the frame is nice as well and he towed this car from the atlanta area to his house in south carolina and it's basically just been driven on his driveway um at a very slow pace because it doesn't have brakes and it's got a bunch of other issues but he did get it to run um and he did top up this right you topped up this reservoir all right we got two master cylinders um one's retaining fluid and the other one is has a leak for sure yeah i can see the puddle underneath the car and hopefully that's uh something to do with the brakes not working fingers crossed there cool and then we have a little bit of a theory that that crazy loud noise when i was applying the brakes is a servo the brakes are uh servo assisted in addition to mechanical brakes in the rear and then regular hydraulic brakes um in the front so we're hoping that the servo is um is acting up a little bit and making that sound because the rest of the brakes aren't working but you know who knows praying to the car gods right now to be honest so we don't have a lift we don't have a whole lot so we're gonna get underneath there figure out exactly where this brake fluid leak is and try to fix it and i'm sure they have all sorts of parts for this thing at the local auto parts store so we have a puddle here and it's a little concerning because the car has only been sitting here for like maybe an hour ish it was in the driveway so we do have two master cylinders i was hoping we had like a brake line issue where we could splice something in like over here and that was the leak but that is not the case we have a master cylinder leak we'd have to find a reseal kit uh or a new master cylinder so basically just impossible i'm thinking at this point we're gonna have to bleed out these brakes um yeah he already filled the reservoir that obviously didn't fix it so we'll have to bleed out the brakes uh see if we can get our brakes back and then i'll just monitor this leak and i'll show you guys we'll press it a few times under here and just see if it's a real live leak and if it's even possible at this point to drive it all right so luckily the wheel cylinders are not leaking i've looked over all of them so there is our bleeder so we got to crack that and then i'm going to work the lever right there so we don't need anyone inside of the car i'll just be underneath it while steve's opening up the bleeders uh we'll bleed those out and steve knows a lot about these cars by the way he's restored a couple of uh 50s rolls royces and he just pointed out that this is a leather pouch over the gigantic leaf springs so this has a leaf spring suspension back here and you fill this leather pouch with grease it's like a serviceable thing and a lot of these have the leather leaf spring pouch missing and this one is intact so overall this car is just in really really nice condition and another part of the car that he pointed out was the battery box so i guess in the world of old rolls-royce this is rotted out this is something people check on right away to know if it's a good car to buy and this one's intact so definitely dirty um but solid nonetheless and yeah you can just tell the overall condition it's a southern car no holes anywhere just in good shape so anyway let's get to bleeding some breaks and see if we can stop this like six thousand pound giant all right here we go all right i'm all the way you're closing yep all right i'm going back so we don't want to suck up any air all right go ahead anything coming out yet i'm going to close okay close go ahead and open all right i'm getting some bubbles all right cool basically we're just going to keep on doing this until we have some clean fluid coming out the back and open i'm open lots of holes yep it's getting better though sure is go ahead and close closed open i'm open close i'm closed and open i'm open close closed fire's right up i gotta say it starts up well and this is the parking brake so push that in and let's see we got oh got to go into gear that helps [Music] it stops and we don't get that crazy noise it's definitely got a misfire nice we have brakes all right so we have good news bad news good news good news i think uh good news is this 6 000 pound rolls royce now stops it feels really really good for you know drum brakes that are 60 years old um bad news is we still have that leak there's really not much we can do about it but the good news is i'm just going to bring a little bit of brake fluid it shouldn't leak out all that much especially on the highway when i'm not using the brakes um and i'm i'm willing to gamble i like crazy road trips if you guys saw my cl65 video from kansas when it was zero degrees out i'm i'm down for the adventure so i think we'll be okay with the brakes i don't recommend it um the other good news is that you guys can save a ton of money by first off not buying a 60 year old rolls royce and secondly by using today's video sponsor honey honey is america's number one online

description box and a big thanks to honey for continuing to support automotive content creators like myself now let's get back to the rolls royce we have this thing's stopping now we need to get this engine running a little bit better we got to figure out the misfire and let me show you some really really expensive spark plug wires that i had to buy all right so here are 250 dollar rolls-royce spark plug wires so these have been handmade and tested by anna so thank you anna and here we are so we are going to replace these as sort of a maintenance item to see if it'll clear up the misfire it sounds like a slight misfire it's not too bad um and we're gonna see if the plugs look new maybe they've been replaced already and check the gap so steve found out online that these are factory gapped at 25 000 but a little rolls royce trick is to gap them at 35 thousands and supposedly it'll make it idle smoother so we're gonna attack the ignition system and kind of see what we can see and cross our fingers that we have the parts to fix it all right so here we go we have one side open so there's actually two levers to open the hood so we just push this one down there we go and now we have this and there you go all right so i just have one tube i have to disconnect then we can get this air cleaner out of the way and we'll have kind of a little bit more access on this side as well okay so that's that now we lift this up and this holds it how cool is that it's an air box cleaner service position with an air box that has no filter so i'll show you guys here i guess later but there's some kind of mesh in here that we clean so anyway we can now see the 6.2 liter v8 so some of the earlier silver clouds the silver cloud one they had uh this straight six i believe and this has the 6.2 like the biggest v8 they could cram in here and this uses a gm hydromatic transmission so a very good transmission those are pretty much bulletproof so okay i don't really know what's going on here um let's just start figuring it out all right so we have a pretty big ignition coil here and the lead goes right into the center of the distributor cap which actually threads on believe it or not and then we just have to take out two flat head screws there's one all right let's see we got here okay and what in the world is going on in here wow are you kidding me do these things just lay in here come on no that's it is there like a needle that pokes the spark plug wire that's right no get out of here pretty archaic look at that a needle pierces the spark plug wire here's the hole that is amazing oh man i'm gonna have a blast exploring this car mechanically and finding all sorts of weird weird things like this this is so cool okay so before i start removing all of these i want to mark uh which ones go where because i don't think we're going to be able to find much of that information online all right so we had to remove the wheels to get to the spark plugs and wires and there is an inner fender liner that i just removed that kind of covers up the gearbox right there so here are the drum brakes they have little cooling fins on them pretty awesome and then we have wide open access to the spark plugs and the wires right here so we are going to remove these spark plugs which are practically new so we'll get to see what those look like um and then swap out these wires and there is the exhaust manifold the gearbox doesn't really look to be leaking this bushing is pretty much shot and what in the world is that what is that what are these contact thingies look at that that is hitting that contact and maybe hang on a second this is so weird guys comment down below i know there's a bunch of old rolls-royce experts in the comment section what is going on here this little metal rod thingy oh and hang on this also has some kind of hydraulic suspension switch i believe this is for the rear but i think this is normal and heavy not really sure if that works but maybe that has something to do with with this weird-looking contraption i don't know so much to discover but for now uh let's just try and make this spark plug wire replacement as easy as possible it's kind of a big pain in the butt to get all the way in here all right change of plans so these 250 spark plug wires have two 90-degree ends crimped on both sides but the wires on the rolls are just cut off at the end with a little hole there where the needle slides into so had i known this i would have just bought universal wires for maybe like 30 40 bucks and just made them myself so it's kind of a shame to have to cut these up to make them work i thought they were specific to this car so at this point i went to the auto parts store and i bought the world's oldest volt meter sitting on the shelf at napa this thing looked like it had been returned like 20 years ago to tape all over it so i overpaid for this guy we're going to check the ohms on each spark plug wire just to double check if that's even an issue before we go down the route of spending more money that we don't need to spend all right let's check this first plug wire and it looks like we're at about eight or nine thousand ohms so about 10 to 12 000 ohms per foot of plug wire would be acceptable and this is a pretty long plug wire so we're in really good shape all right so here is another one i would call that good so i'm going to go around and test all of these make sure they all ohm out nicely they look to be in good shape none of the insulation is ripped or anything although they do look old so eventually i will replace these so i'll check out the wires and let's pull some plugs we're on the passenger side now and i wonder it doesn't look like there's an exhaust leak but there's quite the gap here so i don't know if we want to open up a can of worms of trying to tighten stuff maybe i will uh but here are these spark plugs so i already pulled this wire off these things look very very new so not sure if someone was messing around in here a few years ago and replaced the plugs with ngks so let's pull these out and see what they're gapped at okay let's check out the gap here it's right at 25 000 so factory spec okay well i keep on running into weird cool things and i have no clue what this is i mean guys seriously this is like a piece of foam what are you doing guys all right let's just open this guy up just a tad all right we're at 30 thousandths a little more all right so 35 thousandths we'll re-gap them all right there and hopefully it'll idle a little bit better all right last plug on this side all right yeah so they don't really look i mean you know they're a little black but nothing's dripping no oil wow this is really bad so the lowest this goes is 20 000 so i can't even get it in there this is like maybe less than 15 000 something like that wow that is bad that'll definitely cause it to run poorly let's open this guy up okay so 35 thousandths this is weird so yeah someone changed the plugs this one was just gapped very very tight all right so the spark plug wires are all back together all of the plugs have been gapped at 35 thousands and uh yeah i'm hoping this will run smoother than it did before we also have to go drive this thing a little bit more i mean he did drain the gas out and get some fresh stuff in here but it just hasn't really been driven in a long time so not really sure what's going on uh with the carburetors but let's see we got here that fires up nicely oh yeah it's shaking a lot less now yeah right off idle is smooth before we're getting just a little kind of shakiness but this is pretty good not bad that sounds really good see we got this is broken off right here nice little hose this is like an insane heater i believe so not the end of the world especially in this 80 degree weather 85 degree weather it does sound like we have a little bit of an exhaust leak i wonder if it's this flange oh yeah if this flange is leaking for sure not good i honestly don't really want to mess with this i tried tightening them they're really tight but obviously there's a little gap there so probably going to leave that for when we get back home so if i snap that off we're gonna be dead in the water and this thing's just running so good so we have brakes it's running smooth uh what's next we have to move on to changing the oil it's been a very long time oh and this car does have factory air conditioning and it's a big deal that we have the original purchase agreement that says we have factory ac because some guys retrofit ac on these cars it was a rare option along with the power steering and the fact that this is left hand drive and this is more desirable here in the states and this is the original air filter 60 year old air filter it is just a bunch of metal wire mesh and per rolls royce you dip this in kerosene to clean it so pretty amazing pretty amazing so they were uh thinking about low maintenance back then i guess and that is looking fairly clean i don't think we really need to mess with that oh and hang on it's got kind of a a bird stopper filter here this is the pre-filter another mesh screen right in the beginning that is amazing and it's just sucking air from right here so this is a hot air intake with a cleanable k n style filter all right this was the original performance intake there is a little bit of a fuel crisis going on in this part of the country right now so steve was only able to find 87 so when he drained the tank he put 87 in this thing these things really need 93 so i think we have 93 now we're gonna go find out um but i am going to add a few additives in here so we have the amsoil performance improver uh so this is going to help clean up the valves and whatnot and the carburetor the carburetors have just been sitting there with old fuel forever and then we have upper cylinder lubricant so you guys know i love my amsoil product and check out this trick you just do one of these and it opens i'm just kidding there's an electronic popper on the inside 1961. steve's in there he just popped it um how cool is that and then the gas cap on this thing is like this will take a bullet man this is crazy and of course it doesn't seal so we're just gonna oh yeah rolls his double fist in here with the good stuff so this will hopefully make it run a little bit better too along with getting the 93 octane in there i think we're gonna be all set i think this is gonna run well okay so we have a new old stock rolls royce oil filter which i am not gonna use i'm totally keeping this the way it is uh we have an aftermarket one and i'm gonna use that this time around i just wanna keep that old one in the trunk because i think it looks cool we got a ton of seals and then this guy takes nine quarts of oil so i'm going uh with the high zinc z-rod from amsoil this is meant for these older cars that need a little bit higher zinc concentration this is also really good for performance engines as well so 1040 you guys know i saw this stuff link down below 25 off if you use my site um so let's go drain nine quarts of really old rolls royce oil or whatever the last guy used okay so the rolls-royce normally comes with a tool kit that includes a special allen tool to remove the drain plug for the oil but this toolkit is missing and steve's had one or two of these cars so he made his own and it's not standard it's not metric it's just some weird size from rolls-royce i guess so we had to kind of grind this down and make it work okay there we go not bad let's see what this stuff looks like oh yeah yeah that is very black very very black i mean who knows how old this is that's nine quarts wow well you still gotta do the oil filter it's a cartridge style but that didn't look like nine quarts cotter pin keeps on poking me come on baby why is this the longest bolt in the world there we go okay now can we sneak this out i got the cartridge out the housing doesn't seem very easy to snake out i'm kind of making a mess unfortunately but yeah here is the gigantic oil filter cartridge looks okay doesn't look horrible oh and what is this oh man there's all sorts of parts inside of here they're all just kind of falling apart i'd love to get this out all right guys this is a total nightmare i've been messing with this for like 20 minutes everything kind of fell apart and i can't get this canister out it's really hard to show you my phone and camera and mic and everything's getting disgusting but yeah we have the uh this doesn't really matter because none of you guys have this car but this is the spring and washer setup okay so if you're ever doing an oil change on these everything just fell out so i had to figure this out from watching a old man on youtube do this and some articles i found so this is what you got to do before you put the canister on after messing with it for a few minutes i got the the filter actually on here you get everything nice and gross too be perfect if you could take this canister out but some of the steering's getting in the way but anyway here is our pain in the butt oil filter and now i have to somehow flip this around with no room and and screw it in so rolls royce oil change people the gloves kind of gave up the cotter pin ripped them a bunch of times and uh this was the hardest part of today was changing out the oil filter not not a good time so kind of disgusting we're gonna go ahead and fill it up with oil so i was mistaken it's not nine quarts it's uh about seven and a half to eight and according to people on the internet they say to run this one a little bit lower on oil so more towards the seven quart mark so it doesn't leak as much i don't know i think i'm just going to run the proper amount of oil and i'll take a little bit of leakage i don't trust an old car like this that doesn't leak a little bit and definitely no funnel needed look at this gaping hole to fill the oil you cannot mess this up all right guys um it is the next morning i've cleaned myself up a little bit and we just fired up the rolls and we're taking off so maiden voyage here to the gas station so we need to get some 93 octane hopefully they have it and uh see if it runs any better i mean it runs pretty decent i think right now and so it's shifting which is a plus yeah it's very very lofty very floaty very cool though yeah i mean it runs good it runs good [Music] yeah no real misfires or anything like that god i wish we could fix the exhaust leak it doesn't sound too bad in here just it would just be nice oh yeah lots of slop in the steering i say i've driven a lot of uh interesting cars but uh this has got to be like top three i don't know man i feel right at home this is like really comfortable uh yeah i like it the oil pressure gauge reads basically nothing so that's not good i don't think uh i don't think that's a real issue though it's probably just the gauge it is 60 years old but we have that and then oh this is actually getting up there too our water temp it did start off right at the bottom all right we're getting on a big road the shifts are really nice this uses a gm hydramatic transmission all right there we go 35 according to the gauge oh so we're in third i guess i gotta there we go shifts into fourth i just got to the gas station that's so cool check out this radio this look like a ford radio from the 90s it doesn't say ford but it definitely looks like one just shooting this into a huge barrel basically okay there we go yeah it looks pretty good it's not gonna stop automatically that's for sure all right so 11 gallons so i would imagine like a 22-ish gallon tank something like that all right so our fuel gauge basically works and now look at the oil pressure now the gauge works and we're still really hot on coolant the amp meter seems to be doing something so that's good so who knows what's going on with these gauges but let's go get a a temp gun at the auto parts store you can measure the oil somehow with this button check it out press this button and it says minimum oil so this fuel gauge turns into an oil gauge i have no idea how it does that or how accurate it is it has a dipstick and we're good on oil but yeah it has an oil gauge in the fuel gauge very weird we're cruising along about 50-ish miles an hour we checked it with the gps 50 is actually like 47 46 something like that so it's off but uh overall it's it's not bad it's not bad i mean the alignment is decent for such an old car and let's see our water temperature has gone down so it seems like it might be an airflow issue as soon as we get going it does go a little bit more towards the middle which is great because i'll be driving 150 miles on the highway hopefully we don't run into any traffic but we're still going to take a look at this cooling system a little bit before we leave just in case look at how far down the water temperature went we were going about 50-ish miles an hour and it's only like maybe 70 degrees right now well we found a walmart before we found an auto parts store so hopefully they have one of those laser temperature guns so we can see what this engine is really running at and uh we'll grab some coolant too so on the valve cover we're at 205 and we've been idling this thing and the gauge right now is showing pretty much pegged intake manifold 207. i want to get the cylinder head but you got to be careful not to get too close to the exhaust manifold otherwise you're going to get crazy readings like what are we showing here like 350 on the exhaust manifold that's not real um there's the head yeah that's too close yeah 222 that's the cylinder head a lot of coolant temperature sensors are plugged right into the head so yeah i'd say that gauge is way off this is totally normal all right so we're adding in some of this water wetter stuff i have no idea if this works i used to put this in cars when i was in high school make some pretty bold claims run up to 30 degrees cooler don't overheat and stuff like that not sure if it works but for 10 bucks i'm just gonna throw it in there and uh hope it helps out a little bit so when we started this journey with this car it looked like it had a decent normal amount of coolant and now after driving it and i mean it hasn't really been driven at all in years it's gone down a little bit so not sure if there was an air pocket or what but anyway we are going to top it up with coolant now before we hit the road to fill up the tires they're all at about 20 psi so that's good news because that means they're not leaking they're all equally kind of going down after many many many years all right so it ended up taking about a half gallon that could definitely cause a fluctuation uh in the temperature so hopefully that will help but we are ready to hit the road so i have a tire patch kit some extra coolant a bunch of fluids uh we can fill up the tires with this little compressor and the cigarette lighter does work oh and i gotta show you the coolest thing in the world that steve got me an lsc license plate i'm a legit rolls owner now all right so we're at an old school gas station it's really really cool i'll show you in a moment but we're actually just getting air and it's got these really funky valve stems in the front but not in the rear the rear has standard ones uh and we're just looking over everything as well there was a little bit of smoke oh yeah right there you see that that is some brake fluid just dribbling out of the glass jar right onto the exhaust manifold so we kind of overfilled it for the little leak although that leak has definitely gone down quite a bit and we barely had to add anything so anyway we're gonna set these uh tires up to about 35 or so check over all the fluids one more time and i'll see you on the road 150 mile journey to florida begins right now you guys saw my cl 65 road trip video it didn't go well it didn't go well to say the least this is horrible i don't think we're gonna make it that means this thing is probably lowering a little bit due to the leak no one should have bought this car no one lots of snow lots of snow in the middle of nowhere but i'm feeling more confident about this 1961 rolls-royce that just a few days ago didn't run had varnishy fuel um had no brakes it was running poorly after we got it running what else did we do i don't even know i feel more comfortable driving this thing for some reason we are i think about 10 miles into the trip just want to show you the gauges everything looks perfect uh it says i'm going 75 miles an hour but according to my gps that's more like 70 and uh it's smooth it's smooth the alignment's nice um it's very floaty the suspension is you know basically like just driving on a on a cloud and it's a silver cloud yeah silver cloud too i kind of feel like an old man i'm not gonna lie and i feel like i have to dress differently i've made a stop with the rolls not for food but to check everything over we're about halfway to amelia island and uh the only thing that's gone wrong is the cigarette lighter stopped working so it actually worked and i was able to charge my phone and now it's not working so we're checking at our fuses slash little strips of wire oh and look at this actually tells you which one's which so cigar switchbox three i don't i have no idea is it that one okay steve knows steve knows that's the one it's good all the fuses look good so yeah not really sure what's going on if that's the only thing that goes wrong on this trip i will 100 take that filling it up is kind of fun you kind of just point and shoot and you really can't miss okay so i think i filled it up right around to where we had filled it up last time and if that's the case we went 75 miles and it burned up like nine gallons of fuel so whatever the math is on that it is bad it is really bad all right i picked up some essential straight up bacon yeah that's a thing five hour energy drinks and crackers water and the best part gotta rock the aviators in this car so i got myself some 12.99 gas station specials and i'm ready to go again i keep accidentally going a little too fast in this car i told myself i'd keep it to about 60 65 but honestly i'm just so comfortable in it it is such a nice cruiser it just begs you to go faster everything is in the right spots your arms feel great your seating position is great visibility is awesome people are giving you the thumbs up it just kind of like makes you happy driving this thing and what makes me really happy is that these gauges are absolutely perfect so we have the coolant gauge you can see it right there our oil pressure gauge is good everything is golden and i am loving it i'm listening to frankie valley in the four seasons only 50s and 60s music in this car just having a blast so we started off in south carolina i went through georgia now we're in florida and i can't believe this is my car guys i'm just smiling the whole way it is so much fun i never thought in a million years i'd be driving a 60 year old rolls royce to a car show in florida as like part of my job like i had to buy this like i mean this is great i can't wait to bring you guys some content on this car as well so anyway i'm gonna continue to enjoy this cruise this was never on my bucket list but i'm gonna jot it down and then cross it off because this is too much fun so anyway i apologize for the noise i don't have the mic set up or anything i'm trying to be safe while i'm driving i am staying far far away from anybody because the brakes work well but they are four-wheel drum so not the best in emergency stop situations oh shoot starting to rain and i was not expecting this we checked the radar didn't say it was gonna rain florida what is the deal i feel like you probably do this all the time um okay anyone want to guess how to turn on the wipers uh screen and wiper it says no idea if that works hang on look at how cute these little guys are they don't do anything but i'm not even mad at them this is amazing all right i guess it's better than nothing yeah not the best not the best wipers in the world but if i replace them it'd be pretty decent these are probably like a million years old pretty nice huh oh very nice yeah it's nice driving around and just staring at that little weird spirit of ecstasy yeah that's right that was like this this lady was like a mistress for roles one of the roles guys there was two of them henry rolls and i can't remember the other one oh is that the story and this is one of the mistress to one of the guys i'm learning a lot about this car yeah in this video this is the first time i'd ever laid hands on a rolls royce before and now it's mine so you have to do the huge garage play the harp yeah it does sound pretty good that's how you know it's real yeah real metal all right so wizard is the first other youtuber to see this car so a few more of them are on their way i'll show them the car and that's pretty much it guys it really doesn't get much better than this uh we got away with a few easy fixes on this one sometimes we don't get as lucky but i'll take it so i can enjoy the weekend and then this is getting shipped back home so we'll see who shows up here next it's the next morning and i am following sam crack and rich rebuilds in the giveaway e39 and i'm specifically following them in the rolls royce because of the two cars this is the more reliable one so we were up until about one o'clock in the morning trying to get this thing to idle and not misfire uh it's got some bad plugs i believe it's got a bad coil but we couldn't find any parts for it so here we are it keeps on dying out so i'm here to help just in case it totally breaks down in the uh roadside assistance rolls-royce [Laughter] well i don't get to park with the rolls-royce people but i do get to park next to a sweet alante and i could probably fit this thing in the trunk of my car all right so i got absolutely no footage of the car at the show i was walking around talking with people hanging out and i just didn't get to it but it is way later in the day and me sam and rich are going to eat we're gonna have a little snack in the rolls-royce so these guys are already going to town back here guys kick this out what are you what is what are you guys doing what is that we're just we're just getting ready to eat this is that regular mustard of course it is jesus what are you guys talking about it's a rolls-royce you gotta have

does sound pretty good it's very bouncy your tires are too soft yeah i couldn't get any more air in them they have like 25 psi if i open the i mean as long as it's been upside down it's just now
