Oh but there are stupid sensors and complicated componentry that will take you to the cleaners with that pure functionality and exceptional creature-comfort$! I have been driving Rolls-Royce saloons most of my life. Check out how expen$ive it is to overhaul the brakes/self leveling system, and exhaust systems! Like I tell people, if one must ask "how much" one does not belong behind the wheel of a RR! There's nothing more complicated than the hydraulic system on a Silver Shadow, Silver Wraith II, Silver Spirit, and Silver Spur saloon! I'll put it this way: if one doesn't proceed with caution one could end up with an extremely expensive nightmare that never ends...

I wasn't specific enough. I'm talking about everyday cars that are built with all the electronic gizmos you can imagine, but then the dashboard or the seat start to crack and make noise because everything is cheap plastic. Notice how Toyota interiors age far better than all of the GM range or some Fords. It goes for the engine as well, we have plastic water pumps and manifolds that don't last. All I'm asking is quality over quantity.

This 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur is the epitome of old style luxury. This car is designed to give a smooth, quiet, comfortable ride. Also the seats are very comfortable. Back in the past when Rolls-Royce was asked about power and torque, the Rolls-Royce answer was "sufficient".

And it definetily should be extremely comfortable with Citroën hydropneumatic suspension

@paulrchapman1 2 года назад

@@onelyone6976 But it isn’t really the Citroën system. I have had Citroën DS’s and now own a Silver Spirit. The oleo pneumatic suspension works on the rear wheels only and in conjunction with conventional coil springs. The chief function is to keep the car level should 3 large businessmen weigh down the back. The height correctors and suspension spheres are identical to Citroën but the suspension is nowhere near as soft.

You said a very true thing. The first owner can afford to maintain them, usually the second can. Then they depreciate and are more affordable but not cheaper to maintain. That's when the problems and real expense start. I've owned a 1965 Silver Cloud III, as second owner, since 1982. I keep it properly maintained and it's in first class condition. It's been valued at £60,000 more than I paid.
