From the years when this was still an elegant motor car. (The present iterations look like tanks.)

The people who don't appreciate cars like these don't understand. They think it's the snob factor, it's not. I had always dreamed of owning a Rolls-Royce. My first experience of riding in one when I was 9 years old. The chauffeur held the door open of this stunning 1950's Phantom, as i climbed in I was gobsmacked oh wow, the carpet the seats the wood. I said to the chauffer "what car is this" he proudly said "It is a Rolls-Royce,the best car in the world". I turned to my father and said "I'm going to have a Rolls-Royce". He smiled and said "You had better have a good job". I like all models but do like the Phantoms. When I got married my wedding cars were Phantoms for me and the guests. I was in a position financially to purchase one. I once read an article in a classic car publication 2 cars parked one being a Silver Shadow the other a Bentley T1. The Rolls-Royce suffered body damage. The Bentley not touched. This was obviously an attack on the car as a snob attack. So i decided to acquire a Bentley T1.

I have almost the same VHS Video, but with Wolfang Amadeus Mozart’s Aria „Laudate Dominum“. This one seems to me the music of Edward Elgar. Also very nice and a bit longer. I have the Silver Spirit II Geneva Motor Show car from 1990 in Brooklands Green with tan leather and forest green or spruce top roll on dashboard. 😊

You can really see the passion that this car was built with. The obsession is something that’s near impossible to find replicated today.

🤔 Absolutely. This was the last real model Rolls_Royce ever made under British ownership. These are mark IV silver spirits and longer wheelbase Silver Spur. There was one last all new follow up model called the Silver Seraph 1998 - 2002 . Which was fitted with a BMW V. 12 engine. Very rare and now highly collectable. 😅

passion huh? thats why these RR cost about 20-30k eur in mint condition while 20 year old Phantom prices STARTS from 100k eur? You better rethink this.

@@RivieraByBuick If you think price alone determines the true worth of things then your understanding of what this car is will forever be beyond you.

@@thex2thaz yes, market values determines the true worth in given moment. If u think your personal appreciation determines the true value - "then your understanding of what this car is will forever be beyond you."
