Dear Rodd, very happy to hear from you again after some time. While I can understand purists, I am really fascinated by your efforts. This work should be the closest thing to buy a new Camargue back in the eighties, choosing paint, hide and specs. A very exciting procedure it has to be. And the (almost) final result is a wonderful piece of art. You surely know that the Solex is a bit more difficult to get right and keep it tuned, especially in hot climates. But extra grunt does it have for sure! Do not let us wait again for such a long time for your next video! Luca
I love the Camargue, and this was a beautiful restoration. As a “purist”, I generally object to color changes, but also as someone who is not a fan of white cars, I definitely approve of that beautiful blue! Keep the videos coming!
Exquisite Rodd, as always! She looks like she has rolled off the line at Crewe, factory fresh. A very fortunate owner indeed. I would love to see a video about the equally exquisite P6 LTD in the background - magnificent!!
Hi Mark. I did a quick video of the P6 just the other week. Although it’s not really suitable for this channel I may upload it anyway for a peak and a giggle.
@@roddsala4626 Oh Rodd, I would LOVE that!! I was a P5 owner for 14yrs you may remember me mentioning. I have a great soft spot for the Aussie LTDs. I must say driving my Shadow, she does remind me of the LTD in some ways 🙂
@@roddsala4626 hahaha, yes I thought exactly the same thing! The Shadow is very nimble (and much less clunky) compared to my beloved old LTD. She was a darling though 🙂
Absolutely love your videos and the motorcar you share. I would love to come to your place for a tour. It’s a dream of mine at 57 years old. I’m in California.
It is so beautiful and brings back such nice memories when my father had one in Switzerland in the 70ies. Is this car for sale Sir? Thank you for posting this stunning piece of art
If I were specing this car, I'd call for leather piping in dark blue to match the exterior paint. But that's just me and I quite love contrasting piping on leather interiors. Nevertheless, lovely car in every respect as the owner has speed out.
Shadow and shadow 2 my absolute favourite as from my era but I have to say the Camargue is an acquired taste and I never used to like it but I really do now any new roller just doesn't do it for me no taste gimme the old ones from the 60s 70s 80s all-day long best car in the world 🌎
Having been next to one on factory plates (the very car that is in Queste magazine) and spoken to the driver ('84) anyone that changes factory specification is bastadising its' originality - for what reason ? thumbs down from me, go and work for .....someone else
@@roddsala4626 well I understand that but what the factory does is a world away from what an individual does for whatever given reason. I am personally not that arrogant that if for instance I bought a Cloud Three I would change it from factory/original spec to something that I wanted - even though I understand it. Just my opinion you understand but I would not want to be responsible for it.

Respectfully, you didn’t watch the whole video then. I make it clear it my narration that we are not finished yet. But of course it takes someone like you to ignore the enormous effort gone into the restoration of this car and to hone in on some wiper blades.
😊👍 This model Rolls_Royce Camargue 1975 - 1985 is so rare. I myself have never actually seen one up close. Their is only 3 examples in my country New Zealand !. Of the appropriate 534 built. Really like your car. The colour is just gorgeous...

@@roddsala4626 👍 Oh yes I did. Keep in mind I don't just watch your videos once. Sometimes I came back and watch them 3 or 4 times. But you blew me away with that stunning Camargue....................😋
White is not a great colour, unless the vehicle is being used as a wedding car.Blue is a much better choice of colour. Makes the car really stand out !..
Simply stunning, thanks so much for sharing, from U.K , regards Michael
This car is absolutely stunning
Thank you. We are very pleased with the result.

Love the job you've done on this Rodd. . Absolutely stunning! ❤

First class restoration and in this instance a colour change both externally and internally was absolutely the right thing to do.
In your opinion, I think opposite, so who are you to state absolutely ?
Nice Aussie Ford LTD P6 in the background

@@markhooper1352 yes! Except when comparing turning circles! That of the LTD is about the size of Tasmania.

Stunning as always, Rodd. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! You've done an amazing job 👌🏻👏🏻😍
Thank you. We really do strive for top-end results. It’s all about “attention to detail” and being conscientious in the process.
Rod is such a perfectionist. . This car is a real beauty ❤
Looks lovely. I think I too would rather have the blue exterior than a white one.
Absolutely love your videos and the motorcar you share. I would love to come to your place for a tour. It’s a dream of mine at 57 years old. I’m in California.
My favorit Rolls Royce! Looks great!!!
Wow Rodd thats amazing what a great job
What a beautiful car
What a lovely car! I would love to own her!!!

I am interest in the car next to it. That looks like the Australian Ford LTD . Hopefully there can be a video on that vehicle.
@@RAS4915 thank you. There is a video on the LTD. have a look thru my list of videos.

I agree. We followed our customer request.

If it was originally white, then you can't call it a restoration. It looks beautiful but don't call it restored.

Neverminding the fact that even Rolls-Royce themselves would change colours of their demo cars and then eventually sell to the public. 🤔

The windscreen wipers should not be black.
Camargues are lovely cars Rodd, the most expensive car in the 80s.

No its not good to change colors.
You know what? …. Get lost.
White is not a great colour, unless the vehicle is being used as a wedding car.Blue is a much better choice of colour. Makes the car really stand out !..
@@roddsala4626 I do not mean to insult you or your work. I was saying that if it was my car.
It does when it comes to White. White is mainly used on Wedding vehicles and in my opinion White lacks colour. The new colour looks great.
