I bought a 1961 Rolls-Royce sight unseen and 1000 miles away from home. The car sat for many years and was very broken but I only had 1 day to fix it before hitting the road for a long road trip. Enjoy!

I had a 2005 Ford Mustang convertible. It was Red Fire, had the premium package and the Shaker 1000 stereo system. I traded it in for a brand new 2012 Mustang that had nothing extra. 2 weeks later I was kicking myself. I went from an automatic to a stick shift and that 2012 tops out 118 mph which was the thing that really irritated me because the drive shaft shatters at 135mph and it wobbled when you downshifted from 3rd to 2nd. You could feel it. A piece of crap.. Now I have a 2015 Mustang, that I got brand new 6 years ago and I couldn't be happier. Unless I also still had the 2005. I miss that car.

I used to work on those regularly in the shop. One thing to pay attention to is the SU carbs. They are similar in function to a CV bike carb but are oil damped on the piston. Oil viscosity can adjust your acceleration rate and is effected by temp and humidity. Also that hot air tube is important for the "choke" pull off. Make sure that dist cap is CLEAN on top to eliminate crossfire, don't forget shock oil, and lastly - did you learn about the 3 brake systems? Don't set it too tight on the variable speed system on the side of the trans or you'll find yourself stuck when it heats up. Have fun with the tank! ALSO - the tool sizes are British Standard. Might want to snap some up.

Hi Alex. What a find ! Depending if you could salvage the leather facings on the seats ,over here in the UK this could fetch anywhere between $30 to $60 k . The condition of the bodywork is so important and this one appears to be excellent. I think Jay Leno would like this one ! Finished in Mason's Black with the biscuit interior ...superb! Regarding the bodywork only the opening panels are aluminium the rest is steel , that's why condition is everything. Mr. Royce was killed in a flying accident in around 1910 . And that tiny red car was probably more valuable that the Rolls ! Very rare ! Thanks for sharing

3:55 The place where the Taylor Imported Motors Inc was is now the Gregory Hall in West Palm Beach, FL. $14,000 in 1961 are equal to $125,042 in 2021 and the cheapest Rolls-Royce on sale in 2021 is the short-wheel-base Ghost that costs $311,900. The $1,400 that he got for the 1956 Lincoln in 1961 are equal to just $12,504 in 2021.

Good gravy. Just goes to show the relative increase in the available market as the upper/ oligarch classes expanded around the globe in the years since. A luxury things in general I think have gotten relatively more expensive, which the cheaper middle has nearly disappeared ( certainly for clothes ) to be replaced by much cheap low price items. I think the marketeers call it a "barbell strategy" for pricing

My mother used to drive one just like this back in the sixties and seventies. Same colour as this one too, Midnight Blue. She would sit behind the wheel, chain smoking away on her gold cigarette holder, whilst me and my sisters where sitting in the back, with all the windows closed and with that famous wallowing Rolls Royce suspension adding to our discomfort. Whenever a large lorry (truck) appeared in the rear view mirror, she would turn onto on the nearest side road and let them pass. Happy Days!

I thought I'd heard a brake job on a Rolls Royce like yours required taking out major parts in the rear and and getting a bill for about $5,000 or more. You did it in less than 10 minutes and at no cost. That's what makes it a great video.
