I've just discovered your channel Timothy which I found of immense interest .My father realised a life-long ambition of owning a late '38 model P111 from 1955 to 1969 , after having a test drive as a young man in an early P111 at the outbreak of the war whilst involved in active defence work .Although I remember the car well where every family outing was an experience, but he was more content pulling it apart to see how it worked !.He rebuilt the engine himself in the late 1950s which at that that time was an immense challenge but he was very proud of the outcome .I recall many visits to places where vintage Rolls-Royce cars were being broken up or abandoned as they were considered of no further use and one particular car was an AZ series car with an ' EXP ' identifier its chassis number.Incredibly and recently , that car has been saved and is being rebuilt on its second body that it had when we first viewed it around 1968 .On original trials , it had a limousine body that had become damaged through the arduous continental trips made in the late 1930s.I look forward to viewing later episodes and good luck with the project.Incidentally , we own a 1928 P1 now in the family 59 years !.
What a great channel for Vintage Rollers and Cars in general. I like whatcha do!
Thank you for the encouragement and support!
Tim
Thanks for the videos. Proble is that I spent several night watching them and not working on my cars, looking forward to more

A very interesting video love all the detail about your cars history, looking forward to watching the restoration process.
Thank you, I will keep them coming.
Hello Timothy! I’ve literally just discovered this channel, going to watch this restoration with interest. I’m currently almost finished with a road-going resto of an ‘89 Silver Spur (VIN 26698) which I’ve owned for nearly twenty years now. I actually had the engine done six years ago, then took it off for two years for paint and panels. The week I got it back, the engine did a head gasket. Apparently, during the original drivetrain rebuild, a certain aftermarket parts supplier had a batch of dodgy head gaskets sent out, and mine was one of those sets. It wasn’t discovered in my case because the car was no longer a daily driver for me.
Anyway, the engine is almost back together now (still got ancillaries, brakes, injectors, etc) and, fingers crossed. I’ll be receiving it next week.
I hope this resto goes well, I’ll be checking out your other videos. 👍🇦🇺
I really enjoyed the minutiae and the anecdotes you related about this car! Never conceived that the kerbside and the offside of a Hooper body might have differences from one another (apart from there being mirror images). That was fascinating. I suppose that the first close-up impression this car makes is at kerbside when it pulls up at a posh locale. Why bother overmuch with the impression of the mere chauffeur, eh? LOL! I'm glad you've preserved the story of this car; the story MAKES a vintage car interesting. You have lots of work ahead of you, but you already know what you're doing. A restoration like this would be a nightmare for a clueless person like me. Eagerly awaiting more of your videos as you release them in due course!
Thank you! I will keep them coming along. There will be some that will be tedious yet necessary to get to the next step. I am working on keeping the process depicted as it really is at times.
Fantastic video Timothy and so great to see the man behind the voice,a true genius of the marque. I look forward to the updates, how I wish I lived there as the restoration of my 20hp would be easier.
Thank you! 20's are really magnificent cars. Unfortunately they tend to get over looked and under appreciated. They are full of charm yet are quite reliable but still sturdy and secure on the road. A lot of them carry very stylish coachwork.
@@D-JMI Hi Timothy, yes you are so correct there, I love the early cars and to be honest,was considering a 20/25, but I saw the little 20hp and thought she was so lovely and full of character. She has a D- back enclosed 6 light limousine body fitted,made by Flewitt.
Hi Tim
I look forward to your restoration. I’m about to embark on a 65’ Cloud III myself.
Keep the videos coming.
You will see a fair amount of carry over in some of the designs particularly in frame design. There is a significant amount of advancement as well. The designers were busy on both fronts. I usually tell people when working on a large project, be sure to do even something small with it daily or every other day. Even if it is only 10-15 minutes, it can make a difference in the long term. It also keeps your mind thinking actively towards progression and keeps you better prepared when larger lots of time permit more progress.
brilliant sir hope it all goes well
Great video sir ! Subscribed and will be watching all the series !
I have just bought a 1936 RR PIII - 3BU166
Barker Swept-tail Limo
Do you have any info on my car ?
thank you
Looks like a very stylish and well proportioned car. Barker built very sturdy bodies too. Does it still have a B80 power plant? I will see what I can find on her. May need to correspond with direct email to make it easier tim@royceparts.com
ill send you an email now sir, thank you and yes you are correct a B80 engine ! @@D-JMI
Dear @@D-JMI did you get my email ?
Thanks
Did you know that 3CM57 is no longer in NZ but was sold to Hong Kong?
I did not know that. My engine is actually in 3 BT 23 and I think it is still in NZ unless you know something I do not. It has been a while since I heard from it.
Bought by a Mr Windsor? In London? Loved dogs and parrots? Wonders how many people who live in a really big house in London are named Windsor and like dogs....
He is listed as DA Winsor 27 Nufford Place London W1 in 1959. I believe he was the dog and parrot owner. I plan to do a bit more research on him especially since he sounds like an interesting chap.
@@D-JMI You do know that I'm referring to the British Royal family? After the name Saxe-Coburg Gotha became the victim of anti-German sentiment, King George V changed their name to Windsor in 1917. Just saying 😉
