- In this video I give a full in depth tour of the very rare and quite unique 1960 Rolls Royce Phantom Limousine James Young Series. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Easily one of the most beautiful cars ive ever seen
Sir Stanley Royce the design is like if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
That Rolls-Royce is a masterpiece. 😍😍
When I saw the thumb nail my eyes literally just stared for a minute to embrace this car's beauty.
Same
Power windows on a 50-years old car... I'm simply stunned.
wasnt the stoneage... power windows on cars existed since the early 1940's
rockolutheran But the Mustang '69 doesn't have any Power Windows... So that's so suprising :D
Yeah, and i see they were even faster back then
My 2003 Corolla didn't even have power windows :(
Eric Stearns My old 93 Corolla didn't have power windows
I love the sound the windows make
I actually drove a similar one...James Young LWB S1. It gave me new respect for the chauffeurs who had to pilot them in city traffic. It was a real handful and no power steering. Being relatively narrow, it wallowed in even gentle turns. Mechanically, they were antiques the day were made. Even the transmission, which was one of the more up-to-date things about them, was an old GM version.
Gotta love the look of classic Rolls-Royces. I love Rolls-Royces! They're awesome!
Such hyper critics in this section. I for one appreciate how this guy showed me around this car I am never exposed to normally.
It was extremely interesting. Thanks saabkyle04.
To me, this body style epitomizes what RR is all about. Classic flowing lines which definately turns heads wherever this baby goes. In years past I used to see these floating around Beverly Hills and in the S. CA area. They were so well put together- and of such high grade materials, this is a lifetime car.
In years past(don't know if it's still true) the hoods of these cars were sealed for the first 100,000 miles, where only a certified RR mechanic could touch the engine until that milestone.
I love looking at older model cars. This is a beauty 😍😍
I'm an old Roll's mechanic & that sucker is running on 7 cylinders.
Probably. British engineering wasn't exactly known at any point in history for being reliable. Had tons of character though.
I do not believe You or if so did You get fired? Factory trained?
Steve Prince Absolutely it is so open the oil filler cap with engine warm and it will smell/stink petrol
it is lots of petrol fumes and oil need´s to be replaced
if driven it will work on al cylinders
No need to cal Your granny Your mother can show You to the oil plug
Wen taking it away you must not be under hot black oil will com out !
I tink You can do this tool for it will be fund in the trunk
good luck ! and do noting else ok you can ceck the tyre pressiur if You want do not forget the spare one
It's got an audible miss.
A hot clean showroom piece none the less.
That's got more soul and grace than every modern RR or Bentley on that lot combined.
This is such a cool car! The side pockets in the doors are amazing! And those windows are faster then the ones in my '95 Honda!
Also faster than my 2015 car
Que bueno contar con estos vídeos y tener la posibilidad de conocer estos maravillosos vehículos que incluso ahora nos sorprenden y nos llevan a pensar que hubo creadores genitales en el pasado automovilístico. Gracias por tu dedicación y pasión por estas bellezas mecánicas.
Love how the doors STILL close like a NEW Car. True beauty.
Thanks for the good look over this elegant , dignified car.
Thank you, sir. Just what I needed!
Great review as always. I have always loved the looks of these old Rolls Royce.
that adel song sounded natural with the mood, sounded like something that actually could have been played during that time.
I really like that you posted a new Rolls Royce and now an older one.
The interior is a lot like the modern day phantoms! Very elegant ! Thank you! Good job!
This is better than the new one
Ahmed Mohd what kinda shit are you smoking mate?
prettier maybe but not better
Maybe cooler but not better.
Ahmed Mohd I agree with you Ahmed mohd
Bruh imagine if this one was topless
Why don't they build cars like these now, besides limos? All these storage units, foldout picnic tables, front and rear separation, front and rear radio controls, extra foldout seats and etc are great features!
If by limos you mean most luxury vehicles, is because it's a premium, like this car was back then too. Nothing changed since this car was made and now, darling.
Limosines are useles today, Because they are too long. In urban areas parking and maneuvering are torture. So that limos replaced by wide and relatively long luxury sedans.
İbrahim Ertürk If you own a limousine, parking is the chauffeur's problem, not yours.
minus the front and rear separation you just described a Ford Aerostar
I think this car is called a limousine because it has enormous rear seat room, perfect for being chauffeur driven. Most people think of the stretch limousines like the Lincoln Town Car for example. On the other hand, this vintage Rolls-Royce Phantom limousine is really equivalent to the current generation Rolls-Royce Phanjtom EWB (extended wheelbase), at least in size.
This car is so exquisite and the detailing is just superb.....
What a classic car.. am stunned by some of the technology back then in this car.
So much more beautiful than any of the crap RR is turning out today. You just can't beat old world craftsmanship.
Actually modern bodies are far superior in all respects except style.
What a beautiful car.
You do a very nice job showing off the features.
very nice video! good to see what a Rolls Royce from 1960 looks like
power windows and an auto transmission in the 1960s? wow this was very ahead of its time!
Thomas Cole one hell of a luxury car am i right
pierusofpella ʏᴇs, ʙᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇʏ ᴡᴇʀᴇɴ'ᴛ ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴏɴ ᴀᴛ ᴛʜɪs ᴛɪᴍᴇ
Tom Cole With all due respect...are you serious?
Tacoma 55 He is serious, judging by the the look of his UA-cam, he's a Brit like me. Whilst auto transmissions, power steering, windows etc were all common place in the US by the 60's, our cars were a lot more basic! Even mid-luxury cars like Jaguars etc all has wind up windows until the early 70's, and right up until the mid 60's, heaters and a radio were actually dealer fitted cost options on most everyday cars. (My 1973 Mini didn't come with a radio from factory, and my Friends 1986 Ford Escort Popular had no cassette, player, cigarette lighter or a rear washer and wiper). My uncle worked for a local Triumph dealer, and had to fit heaters, radios and overdrives all the time. Power steering was a novelty, and most of the used cars my dad had when I was growing up in the 90's didn't have it. In fact, my neighbours 2001 Peugeot 106 doesn't have it, and that has hand crank windows and no central locking too! Same goes for auto's, only things I saw them on as a kid was BMW's and Jag's, they were considered slow, heavy and thirsty on fuel in smaller cars, and you only saw them on small cars if a person had a disability and couldn't use a clutch. My dad flat out refused to drive auto's until they became better over here in the 2000's he hated them that much. Even air con was a novelty until recently!
Actually in luxury car brands even as low as Cadillac, Lincoln, Chrysler (low in comparison to RR) even in some Chevy's and Ford's and cars of that stature, power windows were quite common even in the 60's. And automatic transmissions were extremely common in the 60's.
Sounds like it needs a good service, a tune and a loving home and tlc.
Great offer today Kyle. Keep up the great work!
When I think of a Rolls, This is a good representation of what I see
It's strange they didn't have underhood insulation to quiet the engine! Awesome, beautifully styled cars, great job.
Gotta hand it to Kyle. More auto videos than a young dude should be able to do.☺ Keep them rolling.
goes to show you how far automobiles have gone from that time. But wow, that car is something. Some of that stuff you don't even see on newer cars... Love it
I love that classic audio from the 60's :)
The engine sounds very rough especially on a Rolls Royce. I think it needs some work.
Terri Bel Bliss Not running on all cylinders
Agreed. But keep in mind the age of the Rolls plus he had the car door open are factors on that. Unsure of how many miles / kms the Rolls had done.
Probably needs new rings. Compression is probably off on all but one, and the ring is probably toast on one of them.
oil pressure sender unit is gone no thing els to do whit that engine
You are funny i like You
Благодарю Вас за прекрасный обзор данной машины.
P.S. Машина на века.
Beautiful piece of history right here.
That is unbelievably gorgeous!
I don't think Rolls-Royce would refer to the rear doors as their "signature suicide doors." Rolls-Royce refers to them as Coach Doors.
@bearitone64
It's a yank reviewer - what did you expect?
Who care about performance in this queen? It is, and will always be, an marvelous artwork.
If I owned this car I would NEVER let another soul touch it. Kyle, how you convince people to let you review cars this valuable is beyond me.
This might be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
Como eu queria ter um desses!
Sim
Que carro maravilhoso!
Concordo
am envious. this is one of my most favourite cars of all time.
WOW!!! Beautiful classic Kyle!!! :D
Just amazing cars. I would love to see RR make a limo with the old body and modern running gear & electronics. I think it would be a huge hit. Not that I could afford one.
I agree with you 100%.
the radio gets the 60's music to?:))
that is the coolest car i have seen in a long time wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW!! Beautiful cars!
Very nice and high quality machinery. 44 year master mechanic here. My experienced ears were right again when I made the assumption the lifters were rattling badly in that engine and clicked pause 3 times before I could see the oil pressure gauge that was reflecting light and it showed NO OIL pressure at all. That engine either has no oil or the oil pump has failed and it also has a miss. BUT...this only needs to be fixed because the car is worth it! The 380 and 415 rolls Royce V8s are lifetime engines and it is the previous owner or other neglect that is not the fault of the car quality. In other words a PERSON caused the at hand problem
+Earl Guyton A lot of their early V8's needed major, major rebuilds.
+Steven Meyer What do you mean by early? I am major believer in the 415 V8 myself being since I was a child we have three in our family and they are no trouble. But I do not believe any needed major major rebuilds as you state and that means you are a lame tongued person
You are not worth responding too, sir. Good bye.
Not running on all cylinders.
yup, just want we thought. no oil pressure either!
suomenpresidentti He also failed to mention the amp gauge bouncing around and while showing how nice the interior is he forgot to mention or show the wear on the drivers door pull. Along with the engine sounding not quite up to par, to address these things and the privacy glass I'd bet this Rolls will need over well over $10,000 in repairs right off the bat. Nice car indeed but not to mention these things while talking it up would make me leary about what else is needed after all it is a 1960.
Tacoma 55 you have to remember that hes not trying to sell the car, hes documenting a piece of automotive history and this was most likely the only classic rolls available at the time. He cant do anything about the issues.
Sarang Kulkarni the car is well over 50 years old and the gauge probably doesnt work, but it is running on 7
Needs a new oil pump and most likely all 8 piston rings replaced. owning a classic car myself (though not a RR, I'm far from rich enough to buy one of these), I would probably replace the fuel pump as well.
please keep reviewing these kinds of cars
Never heard a more satisfying sound than this cars door opening and closing
They don't make 'em like they used to.
Josh Bennett Thank goodness!
Those windows go faster than my two week relationship
And don't require antibiotics.
thank for the video kyle appreciate
My god.. that's the most beautiful Rolls I've ever seen.
What's the story of this car?
Where is the green royal crest from?
I would guess Saudi Arabia.
Hey mate! you don't rev a badly out of tune, 55 year old engine. She's badly in need of a major service, no oil from gauge, possibly a hole or a bad join near the exhaust and lodging by the ammeter, the generator is on the way out as well. A lovely old lady indeed, but much in need of some love and attention.
I was thinking the same thing!!!, never rev up the old of an engi ,PLUS!!! it's not really about power back then but all about LUXURY!!,
It's possible the factory oil pressure gauge doesn't work anymore. The bourdon tubes fail on those gauges so they don't show pressure unless the entire assembly is replaced.
I have found with my Silver Cloud, when a gauge goes (3 - aperture, clock and radio that the problem was electric circuit.
Alan Steadman up
It's kept at a Rolls dealer I'm sure they keep the service up on it otherwise it wouldn't even run
Beautiful Car!
WOW!! I didn't know they had Phantoms in 1960! The inside looks something like my 2011 Rolls Royce Phantom drop head Coupe
Am I the only one who prefers this to the RR phantom 2012?
No I agree with you this car looks great. the 2012 phantom is just plane ugly.
LOL Rolls Royce lovers like me go gaga over these.
Peter Bradshaw Nice
fuck off you insolent piece of shit
No.
You forgot to honk the horn!
You don't honk a rolls Royce horn you uneducated classless vermin
@@simonjames3990 Oh yes you do!
Master master master piece. Greatness.
Amazing car and video!
"let's see how she sounds"
- ill
Does he have to rev it as soon as he starts it up?
you should never do that at all but i think he forgot or made a mistake
I love how the ignition setup hasn't changed hardly at all besides the addition of push button start and a few more switches but it's still in a black circle with the chrome flag switches
What a beautiful car !
Power windows
The back looks similar to the Rolls Royce Sweptail
That's because the design of the Sweptail was inspired by the classic Rolls Royce models.
Saw one of these in oegstgeest , netherlands this week beautiful car
I showed this video to my mom and she was like... DAMN!
hey bro fuck what these lame ass people are saying. If they are such experts they would have youtube account with almost a million subscribers. keep up your videos they are informative and a nice snap shot of what cars looked like through out history.
It always pains me to hear him rev the shit out of expensive cars right after he starts them up. Its about the worst possible thing to do to an engine.
+Matt Shoe Looking at the temperature of most of the cars when he revs it, it's either full up to temperature or close to. Not disagreeing with it being very bad to rev a cold engine, however.
+Matt Shoe he preheats them before the videos
Driving it out of a garage is not enough time for it to get up to operating temperature, so stop calling people idiots. However, it's clear that he let the engine idle until it was hot enough to rev it a bit. Jeeze you guys.
I let my old car run for a few minutes every morning before going to town. In the winter, I let it run on choke to help it warm up quicker, and rev the engine lightly once the idle stabilizes to disable the choke (electronic choke).
If anyone watches closely, he usually cuts to the part where the car is warm enough.
a really old but magnificint car kyle... keep up the good work!!!
Just a downright gorgeous car.
Imagine if this was in Forza 6.
That would be awesome! 😉👍🏻
That Aussie Fur need it in Horizon 3
That Aussie Fur u
OMG...poor thing sounds like a thrashing machine! My 59 Cloud II engine is barely heard when idling! A beautiful car by James Young, just not properly kept up by the sound of the engine!
Wonderful - just wonderful !
thanks for posting
One should never "rev" a Rolls Royce, kind ser, This is a gentleman's car.
Admit, it sounds nice. Doesn't sound like it's running on all 8, but still sounds nice for an out of tune engine.
Sounds like 1 cyl. has low compression.
that is truly a thing of beauty
daaaannnnnggggggg! that is the awesomist rolls in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Engine is done...
The engine should be silent. Sounds like a miss.
+Len Peters Wrong. This is a 1960, not a 2015 Phantom. They absolutely could be heard back then most often
+Len Peters I think it needs a valve job.
There's a short between the steering wheel and driver's seat.Wahahahaha.😂😂😂😂😂
Great video! You just earned yourself another subscriber. :)
That radio takes me back to the good ol' days.
sounds like a chevy
A Chevy firing on 2 cyls
Dutch Van Helsing that's weird because chevys don't run at all
@@darkerstormer5696 oh god bro 😂😂 I'm dying
Needs full restoration...
That car is shining
Excellent!!!
Oh god! You don't say "hood" you supposed to say "bonnet", for this car is British after all! 🇬🇧☕️
Who cares
Do you call a Spitfire's engine cover a bonnet as well?
Yes..Quite. It's a Rolls..so it has a bonnet.
British huh? Looks like this model is designed to drive on the right side of the road sooo hood!
Not all people are British dude
Can I have it?
Nice claro walnut on the dash I have a savage model 1899 with a claro stock that is magnificent.
Such' a classic beauty
