Abandoned 1974 Rolls Royce Corniche Coupe Restoration Project

[@StellarBlue1]

Rolls Royce's are beautiful example of mans ability to build extraordinary things. They should be restored and appreciated simply for what they are. Car perfection.

[@wingnut049]

I never knew they made a coupe. I like this even more than the convertible. Gorgeous.

[@waynedavis7118]

They should change the title of this video to Rolls Royce dust and clean project. It’s the only restoration I’ve seen completed with a cloth, vacuum and some soapy water lol

When first built, this 2 door MPW, was one of the most expensive motor cars you could buy !

[@ringo196]

A beautiful car saved

[@Chipchase780]

Nice to see such a venerable old girl brought back to her original majestic beauty again. And from the days R.R. was proudly made in the U.K. Sadly German owned now. I would think it would take half a lifetime for your average classic enthusiast to restore one of these to the quality expected of this marque. Not a light undertaking. Brilliant job here, pleasure to watch.

[@dpl2617]

Would love to hear actual sound of them running!! Very nice to see this old girl brought back...

Not a restoration but a repaint and good clean up. Get running for resale.

[@Francescodefarlatti]

Well done, compliments !! It is thankfully only a sensitive, very empathetic Restauration. Not a "to death Restauration" as sadly often seen... God bless you!!

[@rajnirvan3336]

Well done gents. This is one of the best Rolls Royce in history

[@angel_dawn_morningstar]

my parents had a early 80's convertible model and I would always want to go barefoot because the carpet is so soft and plush my dad would place the car into gear using his pinky , the lever was THAT easy to move , the steering had very little resistance as well , again it could be steered using one finger I also recall them using mineral oil under the hood as a lubricant/fluid....maybe in the brake system ..not sure though 💖 this brings back fond memories 💖

[@TheCalgarycanuck]

Steer my Chev truck with one finger.

[@wholeNwon]

Yes, mineral oil brake fluid. Very weird servo brake system, of course. Today most would find the steering too light with very little feedback The suspension usually wasn't up to the weight of the car. It was stiffened a little for Bentley.

[@wholeNwon]

@@TheCalgarycanuck And more reliable too.

[@6778jag]

Fantastic restoration. I undertook a similar but much more comprehensive restoration on a 1970 Rolls Royce MPW Coupe, unfortunately in the days before camera phones.

[@jakespeed63]

Slow going, in the beginning, but held on and was pleasantly surprised. Well done!! Love the finished product. Color is stunning. Just finished a '79 Siler shadow project, so can totally relate to what's involved, to work on these British bombshellsJTOrlando Florida

Yes and who parks a car for years without closing al windows

[@jordansmith5079]

This is call clean up and washing the car.

[@kwametwumasi8543]

That car was more dirty than anything else.

[@spearheadinc]

Preparing for sales, not a restoration...

[@Ecosse57]

regardless of intent it is technically a restoration.

[@peoplehavetherights]

Full exterior including some bare metal respray, all new leather, headliner, carpets, plus mechanical refurbishment for a car that sat 30 years...this would cost more than a new E-class Benz.

[@seangreene64]

peoplehavetherights not

[@davidweston9115]

They dyed the leather. In a classic RR it is preferable to dye the original leather because nobody can recreate the seats properly. Unfortunately they didn't use the correct colour dye which is a shame because this car came with the most beautiful "beige" that RR hasn't done in many years. A colour not seen in this video because it was faded and stained in the original and wrong in the redye. A very special car though. Besides the fact the whole RR car company was lost and is now a German rebadging house. Surprised they kept this car 70s brown but maybe that is a coming back fad now.

William They were beautiful. I had one for a few years when I was younger. Birthday present from my parents.

[@williamhumberhawk8187]

M Scott, wow! What a lovely gift. I was gifted an Austin Maxi 1750 from my parents when I was old enough to drive. Nothing like a Rolls Royce but I loved it. I have a Humber Hawk Series II now.

[@tony5535]

@@mscott3918 So did! But mine was better. It was gold plated and the trunk was filled with Krugerrands. And Loni Anderson was my Chauffeuse. My girlfriend, Morgan Fairchild and I would take long trips in it with lots of good friends, Like Elvis and Jimi Hendrix. That was my 16th birthday present. When I turned 18 I got a Learjet. the leather interior was from 10,000 Suckling calves. Sewn with gold thread and diamond studded. Life is good.

I worked at a rolls dealer. One day a man traded in an emaculate Cornish coupe. A studio bought it for a movie. That original owner had looked after, ..it looked showroom, and the studio blew it up.

[@bernardsummers9050]

Jeez. Doesn't anyone know what "restoration" mean. In the case of returning a vehicle to it's "original' glory is to use the original parts or "restoring" the parts that came with the vehicle (where possible). The synpathic way the interior of this car was returned to almost originl condition was perfect, also the strip down and painting of this vehicle was professional. Even the engine was partly/fully restored as you can see, before, timestamped 032-035 and after, timestamped 3.00-3.04. The only thing i see wrong with the Rolls-Royce is that the steering wheel is on the wrong side. lol.

[@johnorford7317]

Strictly a restoration is using all the original parts. That's considered splitting hairs these days. You will though see motorcycles that are over-restored (a nonsense word really) to a glossier condtiion than the originals.

[@cdpgbc-mw2kz]

Bernard Summers : Informative comment. I love those that focus on "restoration"...the funny thing is any full restoration of a vehicle is really not a restoration. The amount of care and workmanship that goes in to a restoration likely far exceeded the quality of the car when it was originally built. Look at all the muscle restorations that are done..there is no way any of the big three ever made a car as good as how these restoration vehicles turn out.

[@olivier-pierredebelmont.3630]

Bernard Summers There is NO wrongside in a RR !!!Bernard! Differents countries,different laws!!No,seriousely,I'm joking,I am in a good mood today,😉and I have all my time to comment! It was a pleasure to be here,bye now!

[@leovaughan1902]

That's beautiful. If you change the gearbox in this to I hemmi they go like 1 I've done it to my Rolls Royce Silver spirit and twin turdo. You can't do much to modify your car in the UK 🇬🇧 tho because it won't pass m.o.t and the EU 🇪🇺 road laws and the car insurance gets really expensive sometimes more then the car is worth. So that's why it the UK mostly customs car's go in trallers to car shows

[@carholic-sz3qv]

thats not technically a restoration

[@Ecosse57]

technically, it is. ;)

[@gbattilanaf]

that's not any kind of restoration. That's barely an exterior respray...

[@pablocespedes9585]

I don't think is a full restoration but is quite a very well done "refresh", it continue to have some stamina, that is important for many vintage car lovers! Also, this car does not justify a restoration that can be more expensive than the car itself (objectively) so I guess the owner did a job using the best common sense. We don't know how are the mechanicals but is assumed that they checked everything including the infamous English electrics from the 70s. Anyways, I like the car!

[@williamhumberhawk8187]

Technically it is. There are different levels of restoration depending on what the project needs.

[@tony5535]

I call it "Lipstick, ready for sale" refresh.

When you install a new used flying lady the old tube you remove I want, I've got new lady's and need tubes if you find the old spring I need that also, trying to get 1974 tubes and not having much luck finding them.
