Here's Why You Should NEVER EVER Buy a Cheap Old Rolls-Royce/Bentley

[@acd1202]

There's an old saying in England; If you can't afford a new Rolls Royce, then you definitely can't afford an old one.

[@dickthorne4095]

If they do not have a full up to date service history from reputable dealers forget it.

[@mscott3918]

I think the problem is that the first owner can afford to maintain them properly and probably the second owner. After that, because they are cheaper to buy, they go to people who can afford to buy them but not maintain them. I have owned a 1964 Silver Cloud III since 1982. I am the second owner and it is in really good condition. I'm letting it go next year, for a new Bentley Flying Spur, and wonder how long the Cloud will stay in careful hands.

I leased a 2001 Intrepid R/T right out of highschool and still have it today, bought it when the lease was up and has 217k miles today... Giving it to my youngest son this summer when he gets his license. Still runs strong and reliable and has the original engine but did have to get the transmission rebuilt once (was cheap though). Over the years I did the timing belt/water pump once, a couple idler pulleys, an A/C compressor, O2 sensor, exhaust gasket and a couple power window motors... That's it. People talk shit about Chrysler's but most of them (aside from cars with the 2.7L engines) get a bad reputation over the dumbest things that are usually easy or cheap to fix.

Lincolns are well made cars and I shall stick with what works.

[@richardautenzio8117]

You make some very good points about the good features of older luxury cars and the most signifiant point is the comfort and build quality. Because I agree with you on these points, I have always believed that a sports car is a sports car and not a luxury car, and a luxury car is a luxurious car and not a sports car. Many modern cars attempt to be both and only achieve a car that is actually inferior in both respects.

The fluids must never be mixed! What is the same are the switches and bezels for the door opener, power lock and power windows.

It doesn't matter what make year or model a car is. If it is cheap it is cheap for a reason. Without full service history and a file full of bills you are walking on thin ice and what you finish up with is a money pit.

Just for anyone confused as to why the two cars share certain features like the unleaded fuel only warning behind the fuel cap door and the radio antenna, when they are separate companies, here is the reason. Back when these cars where made, Rolls-Royce owned the Bentley brand, having acquired it in 1931. It was only in the late 90s that when the luxury cards deviision of the Rolls-Royce company was put on sale that RR went to BMW while Bentley went to VW (there is also a now separate Rolls-Royce airplane engine company). There is an interesting fact about the way the sale went down, that led both BMW and VW to be caught in a bind where neither could make the luxury cars they bough the brands to make. You see, back in the late 70’s the original RR/Bentley company went bankrupt, the British government stepped in to bail out the company as they were the manufacturer of military airplane parts. They UK government then sold the factories producing RR’s and Bentleys cars to a private investor, licensing the Rolls-Royce & Bentley names, logos, etc. In 1998 the Rolls-Royce brand was licensed to BMW, but not the factory making RR and Bentley cars, which was sold to VW (who did not have the licensing rights to the Bentley name or logo). This created a weird situation where BMW could make a car and name it a Rolls-Royce or Bentley but not the cars currently forming the line-up for the two brands while VW could make the cars but couldn’t legally call them Roll-Royce or Bentley cars or use the then current model names. Shortly afterwards, MMW and VW made a deal in which BMW would gain full rights to make RR cars while VW would gain rights to use it’s newly acquired Bentley factory to make Bentleys (it didn’t really care about making RR’s) with rights to the Bentley brand name, car model names, logos, etc. They are now formally separate companies once again, as they were pre-1931. Another interesting fact, Rolls-Royce was traditionally said to be the type of luxury cars your chauffeur would drive you around in while Bentley’s are the car you drive yourself around In. This is why the Bentley cars got better engines with more power while the Rolls-Royce’s were built more around the notion of better comfort at slower speeds.

[@guillaumeslama]

I went through the same pains. It's obvious someone changed the fuel pump for something not OEM. That's why it dies. The original one is actually a double fuel pump (yep, they like gas a lot). I'd like to see what happens next. I have a few good resources for cheaper parts if you need it. Good luck.

After owning a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow 1974 for 3 years I have to say that the braking system and the suspension system are the real achilles heel of these cars. Incredibly advanced for their age but also complicated and difficult to get right. It was an incredibly unique and rewarding experience owning the car but the repair bills were fairly eye watering for the cost of the car and it was just too big to park anywhere and take anywhere. No regrets though...so many memories and good times, money can't buy that :)

[@patricksmith4424]

From the shadow line Rolls Royce had under license the citroen hydromatic suspension system. This was seriously advanced for the time and it made the Citroen DS, SM and later models after them the most comfy cars on the road. I am sure Citroen partially designed their cars around the system, so rolls probably just added it to an already rolls designed car, so this could have been where problems arose, although I can't say definitely as I ride a bike!

With the exception of Ford Tempos, the Fords were the best cars coming in the garage, oil change, maybe a tie rod, that was it. GM's were leaking everything, missing wheels studs, one threw a rod on a cold start. Chryslers k-cars were, mystery electrical gremlins, loose rear wheel bearings, fuel pumps. With the cab forward cars (LH,) they upped their game to shitting engines and transmissions, still had the other issues too.

Love the Rolls, sounds amazing, love the rear tyres and the patina!

[@cobar5342]

I own three. I have seen numerous neglected Royces. Now that many are becoming old, if not properly maintained (and MANY are not) given that the parts are VERY expensive a 'restoration' can cost more than the market value

13:43 at least the side dome light works :/

The look of absolute horror on Hoovie’s face killed me.😂

[@perarduaadastra873]

If you have time and ability and physical fitness, one can work through all these issues. Mostly people are too busy earning a living to self service and maintain such a car.

... my British car repairman said the oil leak will eventually stop on it's own.

"Treat it with finesse - it's from England" - LOL.

It’s got a GM Transmission, could the wizard put a LS out of a truck and coil springs and real brakes for less than a new c class ?

I saw the title and just thought... he's having a go at JR... and yep... you were. JR will make it all good... long before the R8 which will annoy so many people. :D

I have owned a 1990 R for 15 years. If you put a boost controller on these things you can do what you did in the gravel on the tarmac.

That squealing / howling noise mad by the air conditioning sounds like a fan bearing that is wearing out and the axle is vibrating loosely in the bearing, sometimes does it more when there is moisture in the bearing. Solution is to get a drop of relatively thick oil in each bearing.

[@allenpinnix5241]

that is a nice Bentley! as for the poor old Rolls, as we say in the South-- Bless its heart!

[@svtman93]

This is the Hoovies content I've been waiting for... XD

[@baselhs]

That Rolls looks like a car from Demolition Derby 😂

[@anthonyguilianoii8836]

That is exactly what I thought too

[@billh230]

Look up "banger racing" on KZbin. You will be amazed at some of the cars you see, never mind the action.

[@rich_edwards79]

In the UK old Rollers and Bentleys are popular derby cars because they're big, solid and worth fuck all once they start to go wrong.

[@stefanp.1416]

The can and loose lying around screws inside the hood are hilarious!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@polarablues64]

Bently Turbo R: all the expensive repairs Tyler Hoover: ASTOUNDING BUILD QUALITY

[@leaninheavy]

i think he meant the interior and overall finish
