- Paul finds an abandoned Rolls Royce Silver Spirit that's been left sitting out in the British weather for years. If it could sing a song it might go like this..
Save me, save me, save me. I can't face this life alone.. Save me save me save me, I'm naked and I'm far from home...
Queen 🇬🇧🎸
RR are my first passion. Had an 87 Spirit for years. Nothing like them on the road. As long as there is no water damage inside the rest can be sorted. Very much worth the time and effort. Love it...
Getting this sorted and running would make great UA-cam-content!
It could possibly even lessen the fear people have for these cars.
Should reach out to S.R Rob & Chris to see whether their interested in putting this on YT ❤
Definitely deserves a second chance. You'd do it proud. Would be a tight squeeze in the garage I'd imagine.
Who ever owns this. Do the right thing. My Mum also worked for RR
Definitely worth saving and not to expensive at that. It's probably just shocks at the back or if it's early gas suspension. A fab car far better than anything new and far far far better than crap mercs or bms.
According to the online MOT checker the MOT expired on 6th August 2020, but it's last test was conducted on 5 August 2021 (FAIL) with recorded mileage 44, 068
Do not drive until repaired (dangerous defects):
Nearside Rear Suspension system inoperative (5.3.5 (a))
Offside Rear Suspension system inoperative (5.3.5 (a))
Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value (1.4.2 (a) (ii))
Repair immediately (major defects):
Offside Front Headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))
Offside Front Headlamp aim not tested (4.1.2 (b))
Repair as soon as possible (minor defects):
Nearside Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources (4.7.1 (b) (i))
Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
Nearside Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
Offside Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
Offside Front Wheel bearing has slight play (5.1.3 (a) (i))
Looking at the MOT details, for a competent home mechanic all doable, but for a non-competent a large bill I'd guess.
Hi and definitely save it for me
Your mission, Paul, should you choose to accept it...would make outstanding UA-cam content.
Re the mot fail, None of that is all that difficult or expensive to repair if done by oneself. If it has rust that is a deal breaker
I’ve seen that….stayed there a few times…it’s been there at least 2 years…always wondered what it was doing there 😉
Thanks for sharing Steve, btw greetings from NZ ❤
That has not been there that long..... Unless somebody is washing it occasionally.
Could be a real beauty !
If its the gas springs that have failed, they are not too expensive, so I doubt it was abandoned just for that.
Same as Citroen
If not any rust or rot and dry inside its worth saving would sell quite quick if done right
If anyone could get it back to it’s best in their own garage it’s you Paul, although from the MOT failure list it’s going to cost a few bob! Check out “my mate vince” he has been restoring one in his dad’s back garden…….
Such a waste isn't it. Quite rare as well
@@life_on_cars it’s a real shame but repair cost at a garage are far more than the cars worth unfortunately
Probably supplied by Smac at Southend Essex judging by the number plate, the suspension gaters have given up the ghost & need replacing, that will sort out the suspension, the brakes will also be affected, providing its a runner it’s well worth buying at the right price, there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of body repair, probably a good valet would bring it back to decent spec.
As lovely as it looks it will ruin most people financially.
And the choice of tyres is a possible indicator of how the owner maintained the car - on the cheap!
And Crewe is definitely NOT in the Midlands
Ha ha my wife told me it's not the Midlands . I said it's the Midlands from where we live 😆
Not at all no more than a crap new euro box. I own a shadow and the ridiculous myth of very expensive is seriously stupid
As long as you can source the parts and onlybspend sensible money and if the bodywork is ok the I would say do it if you can get hold of it. That paint work would buff up with all your solvents and stuff.
Great save with that car, I'm enjoying watching its progress. Can you say what the back story is and how it came to be parked up for 4+ years? (I'm guessing COVID had something to do with it).
@zm321 thanks for watching. I'll do a story on the history when I piece it together 👍
@@life_on_cars Thanks!
You may get it running but there could be 20k of work needed to make it roadworthy. Very very expensive - endless things that may need doing. Nice colour though.
Not really no more than a crap new euro box. I own a 75 shadow so.i know.
Yes, beautiful colour, just love it! ❤
huge cars 17 ft 4 inches long !
I live out in the colonies of New Zealand 🇳🇿
One of my paternal second female cousins is C.F.O of Jaguar NZ 😊
It breaks my heart ❤ the neglect of such a high profile car 🚗 💔
Yes, please raise the matter with the owner.
Curious about what might be going on in the boot 👢
Best to check with the Constabulary as to whether its a car of interest 😮 and maybe a car verticle ❤
Thanks for watching Buddy
You are most welcome ☺ keep us updated with your progress ❤
You should try to buy first. What shame
to treat a car this time so poorly
What color is it?

It's a yacht.

I'd say an ocean liner...😎
