I thought 33 minutes of the Rolls Royce would be a bit boring, but it wasn’t, i thoroughly enjoyed it. Car guys at your best, keep it up 👍

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Huzzah!

i had one of these parked near my apartment garage. it's one of the kind car to show everybody that you made it in life.

Amazing video, cant get enough of the phantom coupe. Thank you gentlemen so much for 1. keeping it 2. documenting it. It’s just pure joy 👏🏼

Boy oh boy.... Did I enjoy this. My ultimate car..Stunning

The only way you'll know if you really attached to your cars is to give Jason the wheel and give it the beans. Turns out the Rolls is a keeper 🤣

[@oldbenz3123]

I enjoyed your review. I have had my Phantom Drophead for a barely credible 14 years this year. I did not spec it but bought it at 700 miles, so close to brand new and I pretty much echo your views. It is a special place to be and certainly does calm your driving style like a big dose of valium. I tend to use ours for long trips mainly between UK and the South of France (but, for reasons you will understand, not whilst we are there) and it is just wonderful on those sorts of trips where it manages something just north of 18 mpg. My tank is smaller than yours being the Drophead so useable range is not much North of 250 miles. Reliability has been pretty faultless over 40,000 miles. Sorry to bear bad news in your anti-plastic campaign but the chrome covers hiding the seat runners are not actually metal and the smoked glass is not actually glass. I share your dislike of the plastic petrol flap although on the Drophead it sits on top of the wing in the absence of a C pillar. You can however get a nice milled metal petrol cap to replace the the plastic original if you need relieving of GBP500. In short I still love it and have no intention of parting with it. If you are up for a challenge sit yourself in the back seat, have someone shut the door and then try and get out unaided. Not sure how that got past health and safety.

[@visionist7]

That is one imperious magnificent machine if I do say so myself. Practically an heirloom

[@markplayford5836]

My boss had a Shadow at a company I worked for and I never got a ride in it. Always missed out on a trip to the pub or weekly badminton tournament. However the smell of the leather when the doors was opened to the side of you as we were alighting a Rover SD1, with live with me forever. Pure class Damian…pure class 🎩😉

[@LawrenceTimme]

I agree at the end. If a director of a company turns up in a cheap tacky range rover rather than a majestic rolls you have to wonder if the company is doing ok.

[@ZackNWU1988]

My dislike as a first impression is the design of the main headlights, there are just one each side. Two lights for each would be more appropriate in my opinion. Since its a coupe, the owner definitely sits in front as the driver and not having a chauffer I guess. Good review and great job done.

[@visionist7]

They must have gotten a fair bit of feedback as the "facelift" (not really a full facelift) has larger, conventional rectangular headlights like the Phantom

[@ingocernohorsky]

Wonderful car and a great video. The only Thing i would change is the chrome on the back around the lights and exhaust. Maybe Black or polished aluminium.

[@iansmith7387]

[@giorgio262]

It was quite about time for this majestic car to be properly reviewed. Personally I think it looks best with the polished metal finish on the bonnet and the windscreen frame. Which is also the reason behind the panel line on the roof.

[@alimuzhussain8394]

Another brilliant series and as always a lot of fun to watch My favorite part, Damian sitting on the rear shelf. Think of it this way the car has proven to fulfil a heavy duty utilitarian purpose, so therefore rest of the car is for free 😉😂

Without doubt a future classic

[@stephenrooker1941]

[@henryhol8538]

Love it! I had forgotten about the split folding boot. I wonder if there is a company that can replace the plastic switches and add Andriod Auto or Apple Car Play?

[@julianevans9548]

I dislike everything about Rolls-Royces - it's just the associations with showy wealth - but that was very entertaining. Bravo. (And ignoring my own biases, and these associations, even I can see that it's a pretty stylish car.) And interesting that you point out the cheap and nasty bits like the petrol cap cover and the plastic buttons - never seen reviewers do that with RRs. Enjoyed the reference to Thatcher's mate, Jimmy Savile. Eleven new year's eves she spent with him, so you know the security services checked him out and told her what he was doing.

[@Jontus8]

Wonderful!

It's cool because of its rarity, but I think Wraith moved it on. Bloody MASSIVE and it comes across in the vid.

[@LaurieMB]

The Wraith is a very different experience. The Wraith really does feel like driving a modern sporty interpretation of a Rolls Royce and does a brilliant job of it - especially in Black Badge trim. Watch the one doing the run at Goodwood and absolutely roasting the tires. Incredible. The Phantom Coupe is much more like driving a proper classic long-nose car with the huge wheelbase and very rearward seating position and much more upright and the huge steering wheel with gentle slow inputs. The Wraith is for hooning, the Phantom Coupe is for more for gliding along while being in the driver's seat. I don't think one replaces the other, both are brilliant to experience in their own way. One of the reasons the Phantom Coupes are so rare though, especially in Series 2, is people thought the Wraith was better on paper and was cheaper, and totally missed the point of the experience you get in the Coupe. In many ways yes the Wraith did move a lot of things on, but at the same time the Phantom Coupe was it's own unique thing. It's really hard to explain in words how older, slower, bigger and heavier can be more special, but it is.

I’m very confused why Rolls would choose to use the plastic window switches when they’re used a lot and everything else is made out of aluminum. Very good review lads. I work at an upscale hotel they also has a residential side of the building, one of the owners has a Ghost I believe that’s a convertible. I often find myself stopping to look at the car and peeking in the windows. It’s amazing how big the car is and it’s not even the Phantom
