Thank you so much for another great video about my former car. I'm thrilled to see it get a new life and it will certainly live a very long time after going through your shop.Sorry about the mold. Mold likes the Texas heat and we grow that stuff everywhere. The car is awesome!
And for the record in my opinion there wasn't enough video on this car so I don't know why you kept apologizing for your ranting, with the kind of job you had I could've easily takin another 20 mins of video easy especially on this car so next time feel free to rant on there are those who would appreciate it if you did.. but thats my 2cents, thanks for the video you definitely did an awesome job with this car
Mike McCabe I totally agree with you. On all the cars and trucks they do especially the relics I like to hear all the details on what was done and how. Only thing I would change would if he could throw in more pics of the job in process. Other than that I look forward to all his videos. Sure with I could afford an ICON!
Yep I'd love to see the cars up on the lift, more details, what shock were used, and why. What program was used on the engine, stock GM or was it tuned? What type of conectors were used on the instrament pannels, and why...
Mike McCabe
Oh yeah, I would like to see some clips thrown in of the technology used, as he's describing how the car was built.
Mike McCabe agreed friend the cool part is when I was a young kid one of my dad's friends used to take me to Carl's jr. Drive thru in his all the time it was also the same year color and right hand drive
A vid on the instrument panel adaptions alone would be great to see!
Recently retired and now have time to watch these videos. As a former quality manager in a fortune 100 company, it is the attention to detail that is simply incredible. This car is stunning, simply the best of the best.
My grandfather was a Rolls Royce engineer in the fifties, I would love to imagine that he maybe worked on this car, he worked in the engine plant. He used to geek out to me as a kid about engineering all day long, taught me to enjoy using tools and problem solving, which left me with a passion for cars and you know what Jonathan? He would have totally loved what you have done to this beautiful motor car. Best wishes from the UK.
jonny, wouldn't it be great to hear your grandfather's counterpoint to Jonathan's narration on the RR engineering including the double C channel welded chassis and more? Your grandfather sounds like he was a great guy and you were lucky to have know him.
@@kenschmillen3748 Yes I don't think they would do this without a good reason.
@@kenschmillen3748 I think that it may have something to do with post-war scarcity of materials. In UK raw materials such as sheet metal were allocated to manufactures on a cupon style system up to a 1954. so perhaps it had influenced the design process of this car.
I fucking love it when you geek out. Never stop.
I really hope the owner of this car shoots video of his first trip to one of his brother's Rolls club meetings.
Rolls owners are actually pretty devout car guys. I am almost certain they would be stoked.
@@bromanguydudesir I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a compliment in the car.
bromanguydudesir lmfao I’m like 99.99% sure he would be decried a heretic. 😂
You understand that the art is in the details. I was thrilled to hear you talk about them and how you make it all work. In my opinion, one can never go too deep into something. I said something to a friend once and his response was: "you have too much time on your hands". I told him I didn't believe there ever is such a thing. Every second is prelude to the next one.
How is this only 180,000 views? It has to be one of the most beautiful amazing cars on the planet :O
Probably cuz no one on YT has any particular interest in a Rolls......
Jonathan, you have completely outdone yourself with this car. Unreal. Simply incredible.
Nice, in my dreams tonight l’ll order two of them and give you a blank cheque. Thanks for the vid , you are an artist.
Sorry for my late arrival but here goes. Back in the day I used to caddy at the local Golf Club in Ellesborough UK. This club was nestled in the Chiltern Hills, a most perfect location. Me and a school friend used to stand by the club house most Sundays trying to attract some business. Many times we went home empty handed but one day this gent came over and asked if we might be free the following week so we agreed to meet him at the club. Eventually he arrived driving a Silver Cloud in the exact same colours - we couldn't believe it. He took us to another club some 15 miles away and we caddied for him and one of his friends. It was all above board and we had a great time. With that in mind it was great to come across this video and to see what you have achieved with the old Cloud. Clearly I have fond memories of these cars and you have to be congratulated on the level of workmanship put into the build - I love it. I know it's rude to ask and I doubt you want to tell but what's the finished cost of the vehicle.
I cannot get enough of this video. Seen it about ten times along with other videos featuring the Rolls.
As a Rolls-Royce geek all my life, I'm completely in love with this thing! My favorite Derelict that you've built! Btw we enjoy the ranting. Well done.
I say it every time a new one comes out but this one is my new favorite.
I am so wanting to see a Derelict Checker cab. Or maybe a London taxi.
RR Silver Cloud, a palace on wheels and the most classic design of all time.
Absolutely agree with you. The best of the best. I'm the proud second owner of a 1964 Cloud III and have been for 39 years. I wouldn't swap it for any of the current range.
Glorious example of classic design and modern engineering. Perfect in every way.
Truly excellent in every detail, I really can't see how it could be improved upon. Amazing work!
We are here because you geek out.
Ah, the one I've been waiting for...and its perfection.
Just for the record, 20 min videos would ideally be the minimum, not a maximum - we love hearing every little detail and touch.
Thanks for taking time to make these and detail everything.
Don’t stop geeking out. Yours are the only videos I watch straight through without pausing or ffing. I love all the info. This car is truly awesome.
I never get tired of this video. I have watched it several times and pick out something that I missed the first half dozen or so times that I watched it. Like..."Hey a coyote. Right in the middle of the day." Funny. Great car. Great video.
Aw, man. You didn't bore me one little bit. Super impressive in every way. Whoever gets this machine is one lucky guy.
Subbed for sure.
As a retired vintage RR tech, the Silver Cloud series were my favorite. I feel I am qualified to give my unconditional approval on this incredible makeover. CHEERS!!
As a talker myself, i just listened gaining every aspect of this build entranced all the way through. An ex aero engineer by trade, old car restorer and racer by heart, what more can I add thats needed - none, except very well done... again..
After all the bells and whistles and the beautiful job you did it always comes down to the seats ,and you nailed it perfectly,after all you have to be totally comfortable when driving.I enjoyed watching the whole presentation,thank you.
Obviously an impressive car and he’s going to get a lot of well-deserved compliments, but if you get a second, rewatch the video for the editing. His older videos felt like you were at a car show, but this video specifically, has the feeling of riding around with your friend as he tells you about the car he’s been working on. The constant back-and-forth between detailed stills and walk arounds, then seeing the car in motion, sounds miserable... But in execution, it’s fantastic.
Jonathan, you truly represent the American spirit with hard working, passion, innovation and quality. The British did it ok but you hit it out of the park. I love your enthusiasm and work. Thumbs way up!
Jonathan…I love hearing about the build and all the detail. Your videos are on the top of my list. 😊
Like many other comments indicate, the details and geek outs are my favorite part of your videos. We recognize that a crazy amount of work went into these vehicles. Geek out all you like. I will watch the whole video, every time. No need to apologize at all.
Nothing like modern coming together with the aged. I love this car and would daily drive it for sure. Great colour also...
Jonathan - you know.. You are a Genius!!! I don't have to say much more ***** Respect as always and greetings from Germany 👍👌😍🎉👏💓
Oh boy do I love this thing! What fun to drive...
4 years late watching this video, but wow what an absolute stunner this Rolls was! And like the other thousands of comments, we LOVE hearing you geek out John! That's why we're here and not on Jay's channel! :)
Geek away! Gear Heads "must" know the details. Not to mention, I love the whole idea of the "Derelict".
Repeatedly stunned by the commitment, quality engineering, and attention to detail. Utterly unique, and Jonathan's business ethos is a model. "If you can't be proud of it, don't do it".
Excellent work! PLEASE keep geeking out over your fantastic craftsmanship!
Since the 1950’s this has been my favourite motor car.
The two tone paintwork emphasises it’s graceful land majestic lines
Being English it’s wonderful to see this Old Lady Dowager brought up to date.
She can now lift up her skirts and really shift.
Unsurpassed by later designs, a Stately English Mansion on wheels.
A true Rolls Royce.
Thank you for your video.
Wonderful!.
You Geek out to your heart's content! That is one of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much!
Jonathan, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride with you through the canyons, and geeking out on the details of the build. What a fabulous, gorgeous car! As to drowning in the details, no apologies please. I'm a good swimmer.
I could have happily listened to a 60 minute in depth video on this, really interesting, love it
The stance and the sounds are the personality of this derelict. For those of us enamored with this kind of restoration, there's never enough detail and the effort to share is appreciated.
I, for one, specifically subscribe to this channel for all the "geeking out" ... so let your geek flag fly and ballocks to the haters :)
Same
As a Briton, I´d like to take this opportunity to apologise to the world in general for the bafflingly unfathomable variations in the quality of our engineering. I once had a Range Rover clutch master cylinder seal blow on a 2 week old unit.
I´d also like to mention how much more satisfying I found this video than I did Jay´s video covering this very car.
If I might be allowed to venture a word of criticism about Jay, it does seem to me that, given that the man´s effectively a professional interviewer, he really can be a surprisingly poor listener. I hasten to add that, though I watch and love his channel, I´ve never seen his chat show; perhaps he´s more indulgent towards his chat show guests than he is to fellow "car guys".
In response to your chat show comment. You missed nothing. Jay Leno was pathetic. This can be said of all the chat show/late night show hosts in the current lineup for the last 20 plus years in the U S of A. It is a wasteland of bumbling hacks. The great one, Johnny Carson, when he retired, then the whole genre went right into the toilet. Yet we still have many chat shows on today only to appease the zombies from getting restless. If you have half a function brain cell you kill your television. We pitched ours back in 2000.
Jonathan YOU ROCK BRO. The attention to the smallest details make your creations well worth every cent.
I only have three words to say about this car - I WANT ONE!!! This, with stock wheels and whitewall tyres (if possible) would surprise ANYONE you take for a ride in it, it's fantastic. THANKYOU!!
*By far the most impressive unique derelict one to date for myself even beats out your Bad arse FJ's. A straight up middle finger to the elite class.*
the only people that can afford to fund a project like this are the "elite class". it just so happens to be that this particular member of the elite class isn't a snob and has a sense of humour with regards to his brothers taste in cars.
@ Amen
Keep doing what you are doing with these videos, the cars deserve it!
Thank you for walking the Jonathan,one man of the land,being responsible through self thinking,your learnings plus teachings brings a "Wow," to the women and men of the lands.Keep building,enjoy.!!!
Can't get enough of your descriptions on these magnificent cars! Thank you!
Wow… I'm impressed
Top five..?....... Number ONE!....... Incredible work by you and your amazing genius team........My favourite so far of all the 'derelicts'.
Jon - never apologize for going on - I could watch these all day! I love and appreciate that you get into all the details so we mortals can understand how much thought and work went into the build.
“Hey, a coyote!” Love it! Just discovered your channel and have been devouring the content. Your love of sleepers is contagious. Keep up the geekyness. A lot of us truly appreciate your comments. Thanks!
I take your point about some of the engineering, but this was designed during the UK post-WW2 period of resource poverty, and is possibly largely based on pre-WW2 technology. Not, perhaps, fair to be too unkind about what is pretty primitive by modern standards. Whatever, you have produced something of beauty, and I would love one.
You guys do great work! That would be a fun place to work at.
This was sooo fun - glad you had the time to totally nerd-out!! What a cool car!!
So awesome. I giggle uncontrollably when this thing rolls on with the power.
2:49 when you say fuck the law and run the stop sign.
Well great job would be an understatement, I sure hope that car chaps ur brothers hide and if by chance u do show it off in his arena please film it id love to see that..lol
I appreciate that you have Derelict clients, cuz we dig their cars.
Well done Joe-Nathan. Never tire on your explanations. The creations you show enhance the dreams of us dreamers. Look forward to your next surprise.
it's.. I'm... choked up.
Unlike Leno, the rest of us don't have the attention span of a toddler. Rant away.
I suspect it's more that he didn't someone else doing the talking. I have watched almost all the Leno garage videos and he's perfectly capable of going into some granular detail.
Yes, Jay sure likes to talk and I guess he does not like competition or loss of talk time. ha.
Jay Leno never stays with ANYONE through the tech and details. He just says 'yeah', but he's always struggling to listen. I think he's bored by anyone else's voice except his own.
He spent a good bit of his life as a talk show host, he knows audiences have short attention spans, and it's his job to keep the show moving.
Leno is not funny and never was. He became super wealthy only because he knows no one ever went broke from underestimating the American public.
I keep going back to this video. This is my favorite derelict project that you have done.
This is an amazing machine! Your work is beyond meticulous and on a whole new level and i love how you geek out over the details.
blah blah blah is the new yada yada yada. Love the car and the video.
Which is the older yada yada yada...
Blah blah blah was around long before yada yada yada. Maybe it was before your time.
I have yet to see one of your projects that was less than perfect. Thanks for making all other cars worthless
DUDE! Don't apologize for Geeking out. Love it. Why I come here to hear & see what you do to these cars. Wish I had the skill to do a 1\4 of what you do.
Love the deeper geek out. The build is what your brand is about. More, more, more.
Why no leather wrapped Fix-a-flat can?
I keep waiting for actual footage of this beautiful boat autocrossing... disappointing! ☹️
Yes, I was hoping for some opposite lock action!!
Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful quality workmanship.
I'm 22 and that's my dream car , since I was younger a restored old timer , I love it
Your videos could be an hour long.
I'm not going anywhere
What did your brother think of it?
Papa Neil; he'll say paint job is a 20 footer. But the car hauls azzzzz.
in your own element, on your channel: I love watching you tell all about these cars. Thanks
I love all your designed autos, but I love the Derelicts the best. Thank you for your ICONs.
Saw the thumbnail, looked at the title
Brain said: "whaaaaaaaaaaaat"
Mouth said...well, same thing.
2 people have never experienced true happiness
So good. Thanks Jonathan for your design and build inspiration
Mid restoring my RR Silver Cloud 57. Incredible work you've done, great inspiration.
We love your work and when you geek out, great job as always sir, thank you.
Liking your "geeking out", I always watch 'til the end.
I love the deep dive into your designs. Keep em coming
Absolutely amazing! This is a top notch build. Resto-modding a Silver Cloud has always been a dream of mine so thank you for the inspiration as well as technical information.
Loved this one when I saw it on Jay's channel, but this all out tour was much appreciated. What a beauty Johnathan!
Love these videos. Super chill, tons of info, and zero pretension. Build porn easy listening...
I come here specifically for the detail in the walkthrough. Please keep doin what you're doin!
Oh man, i love each and all of these Derelicts. Total (and unreal) dreamcars.
I could sit down and listen to this all day
Your quality & attention to detail ! Greatly appreciated ( as a viewer ) . . . The clients must be super happy . Keep up the good work .
It's nice to see a real craftsman paying attention to detail.
Beautiful job. I also appreciate the honesty in regard to the challenges involved.
Jonathan is highly talented. He would be recommending options to me I’ve never heard of. Knows his stuff and the perfect areas to geek it. Love the videos.
I watched the Leno video a couple weeks ago, I’m so glad this popped up on my feed today. Impressive isn’t a strong enough word to describe this build. Enjoyed every second of this, thanks!!
You 'restore ' the cars of my dreams. Thanks for sharing your works of automotive art.
This is a work of art, all done in excellent taste. Very impressed.
Jonathon
I love your cars and projects, but what I like the most is the production values of your videos. Great work. Thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate you taking the time to go into such detail about everything that went into this fine car. It makes it much easier to appreciate how well sorted out this project is. This looks like an old car, but you really designed and built a brand new car and made it look old. So much safer and more fun to operate.
I don't mind you geeking out on details ;) It's why we come back, all the gritty details of a build nobody ever tells you. Anyway, great build. Yet another timeless classic on the roads!
I'm a humble designer for a large aero company, I REALLY appreciate that Icon have a great sense of what elements to change, and what aspects and aesthetics are best left as intended. Thanks for the great videos.
