    The Camargue has always been my favorite Rolls Royce. I have only ever seen one in my life here in NC. I intend to own one someday.

    I think the gorgeous & rarified Camargue looks far better in light shades; there’s a Silver example not far from where I live, & I’ve seen in person a light blue & a white example - truly perfection. That said with only 500+ ever built, I’d happily owned a dark beauty like this one ;)

    That really is a classy motor car. I was lucky enough to see a factory registered car 1800TU in Birmingham and spoke to the driver about it. It was in two tone paint with headlight wipers. The factory kindly sent me a in-house magazine Quest which featured the Carmargue, I applaud David Plastow for getting this into production.
    I doubt the steering wheel in the featured Carmargue is a factory item ,nontheless the Crewe cars seem to me have a timeless grace.

    Love the seats in these cars - look like you will just sumptuously sink into them. Apparently the leather was the ultimate Connolly could offer, better even than that supplied for other model Rolls and Bentley.

    • @SuperCarClassicsTV

    Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder.I personally like the Carnargue because it is a blend of Rolls-Royce dignity and command with that unmistakable Fiat 131 style. It's "ugly duckling" reputation is what makes it desirable.

    • @attilavf
      @attilavf 3 роки тому

      Fiat 131 style ? Insane ! Have you ever seen any FIAT ?

    • @MrGoblin60
      @MrGoblin60 3 роки тому +3

      Firstly, I made a typo in the posting, that ought to have read Fiat 130. Secondly, yes, I have seen a Fiat. Thirdly, the Carmargue (a coupe) was designed in collaboration with Sergio Pinnafarina who probably took his styling cues from his Fiat 130 design. Rolls Royce denied that the Carmargue was in fact a "variant" of the Fiat coupe however conceded that although there were certain visual similarities between the Carmargue and the Fiat, these were the product of the fashions of the era.

      No. No battery cover is shown and what you see are the HSMO reservoirs. They were all marked in several languages and quite rightly Arabic is the last.

    If I didn't know this was a real Rolls Royce model, I would assume it was somebody's attempt to make a Rolls out of a 70s Escort RS. The gap between the bonnet and the radiator shell is atrociously wide, the proportions are off, the dash is a sea of black plastic, and the rear valance is bland and anonymous. Not one of Rolls Royce's prouder moments. For $40K you can get a really nice Corniche and it looks much more like a Rolls.

    • @derekdalton5658
      @derekdalton5658 3 роки тому

      Yeah. The amount of appallingly ugly "screw on" plastic in the dash is unbelievable. Corniche interior puts this to shame.
