In this video, we spend 200 hours restoring my 1961 Rolls-Royce that was abandoned for years! We tackle an insane paint correction with the most dramatic before and after I've ever seen and I replace the original 62-year-old seats with $6,000 worth of leather! Have you ever had an English car?

One guy by the name of Gordon Greenwood had lost an eye in his younger days at Rolls from a seat spring. It reminded me when you were working on the seat mechanism. I'm now 56 and although they are long gone there work will live on with the help of enthusiasts and collectors 👍

Here in the UK, these old Rollers make very nice cars for weddings and events chauffeuring - and easily pay for their upkeep. I once knew a retired car mechanic who did up an old Silver Cloud and it was a nice little part-time earner for him for doing weddings and stuff. He said that they were actually fairly solid and reliable, easy to work on and generic service parts were available, keeping maintenance costs down.

No, no, no. You completely misunderstand. Perfection is for people who have something to prove, or for those unfortunates who care about the opinions of others. Her Majesty is above such considerations. What tends to happen is that subjects who are graciously allowed to travel in the regal conveyance would, upon their return home, seek to emulate in their own vulgar conveyances, the creases upon which they had been privileged to sit in the Royal limousine.

I would absolutely believe that! Chicago is home to the Horween Leather Tannery, founded in 1905 it is one of the oldest and most respected leather tanneries in the world. I would not be surprised if the Queen's Original Rolls seats were crafted with Horween Leather, and logical that they might choose a local leather worker to source leather and reupholster the seats.

There's no way that guy charged $6000 for tose seats, no freaking way. Here in Mexico it would have been the same result, in a week for literally $1000 USD

You need to start an upholstery website and market it, get people to send it to you, you get someone to do the work then mail it back....basically be the middle man just dealing with the customers and coordinating. You could make a ton of money.

Thanks for continuing to show great cars and how great results can be achieved on a budget. but best of all your impressions of us Brits cracks me up. I've never met anyone who actually says Pip Pip. and no one says Cheerio anymore.

I don’t understand some of the upholstery. You say it is a great job but why are there huge wrinkles in the lower base areas and even in some upper bolster areas. Looking at “factory” cars and a few very high end restored examples where there are absolutely no wrinkles, anywhere, i cannot agree that the reupholstery job was that good. It is possible that the “thicker, upgraded” leather resulted in these apparent workmanship flaws.

Got to say I am loving the Conquest, Peter. I was supposed to get one for my first car, but it fell through. Can't be too upset though, that is what lead me to my 1977 Firebird.

LOVELY! (Do the paint chip filling before the buffing out. Then sand the chip repairs with 1500 grit, then 3000, THEN do the buffing out)

$6000 seat upholstery? Man they seen you coming a mile away. Plus, it looks like crap.

Keep doing these start to finish videos. This format is great. My Fiesta ST is really enjoying its fresh Avalon King coating, and pretty soon I'm going to work up the courage to rotary buff my 21 year old red S2000's paint to remove all the oxidation before applying its own Avalon King ceramic coating. Your videos are inspiring!

You need the black Sheepskin Rugs to give it the final touch. Amazing job on the RR. Peter forgot the Grey Poupon Mustard when he was dining in the back!

Awesome work on the Rolls! You should have used a finishing polish after the compound to remove the compounding hazing.
