Our Washington DC PM Magazine travel crew did a week of shows in the spring of 1980. We were based in London for about 10 days. One of the stories we did was at the Rolls Royce factory in a city called Crewe, which is pretty close to Liverpool. We, of course, took the train from London and quickly went to work once in Crewe. For the ending of the piece, Henry Tenenbaum gets to actually drive one of the cars. What were the Rolls Royce people thinking!?!?
I was the cameraman, Wayne Myers did sound, Murray Schweitzer was producer and of course Henry on air.

A very quaint little video. I have owned my Rolls-Royce for 24 years now and I still lover her. Fortunately I also have an early one as well and it is the one that exemplifies the Royce perfectionist attitude. If an other differential was held together by 12 bolts, Royce would use 20!

spring of 1980? they were just about to introduce the Silver Spirit and Silver Spur (some being assembled) - all the completed cars were the last batch of Silver Shadow 2s and Silver Wraith 2s - actually a super ideal time at the assembly line, that would have made a good story. After a 15 year run, the next new model was on the cusp of being introduced.

Great video. Crewe "noted for only one thing"? I think the British Rail facility would have argued that one.

Mercedes Benz ate Rolls Royces for Lunch. My parents had both cars in the 1970s. Rolls Royce & Benz S class. The W1116 W126 S Class were light Years ahead. Rolly Poley spent most of her life in the garage getting fixed 😂

7:28 "Meticulous to the degree where if they have a particular creak which is very difficult to locate they would place a man in the boot are and travel on the road in the trunk of the car driving the car on the road so that the man himself could pinpoint the noise in the boot area".

We have to do that today to fix these cars if they survived to be a classic, because they never got it right to begin with.

“Camilla Carr is going to show us London on the cheap” - I’d really like to see that! Any chance of seeing the remainder of the programme?

$2,200 p/ m repayment 1980. I didnt realise people were smoking crack in 1980s. Even Junk yards dont want these Brittish Barges now.

Nice vid. Looks like they spent too much time on the radiator and dashboard, and totally missed all long-term integrity and reliability. I am a mechanic on these cars and have been for years. The absolute worst first generation Kia has more integrity vs the best car of this era from Crewe.

Best Car in the World 😂1980. Even the Datsun 1200 was better.

It’s not particularly reassuring to know that over forty years ago, Americans were already dumbing things down for their audience.
