Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 11 Inspection and start up 

What a lovely comment which I really appreciate and my pleasure. Thank you so much.

😱 What I fear most, is depending on what country this classic Rolls_Royce goes to. The next owner might decide to electrify it , there by 😔 sadly destroying it !...

You are correct. Glad you like the Cloud. Many thanks.

Totally agree

What a stunningly beautiful example! A credit to its current custodian. One of the most beautiful cars ever made. Every inch of it says top quality. Why are the modern Royce's so ugly?

Thank you. Glad you like it.

That's very nice of you to say so. Yes I think it's a lovely colour scheme too. You have great taste if I may say so. Thank you so much for your very encouraging comments.

You have good taste. Thank you so much.

Exactly right. I couldn't agree with you more. John Blatchley got the look just right. Many thanks.

You're very kind. Glad you like it. Many thanks.

Yes, the green interior goes well with the Black. Thank you for kind comments which are much appreciated.

Really appreciate your kind comments. Thank you.

Greetings to you. Shadow 2's are lovely. I have a 1977 T2 coming up soon. Many thanks.

Remindss me off the lord provests carr in glasgow reg .no G.O never oott the garage

@@gerrynicol3951 Probably busy filling up with fuel. Thanks for watching.

Glad you like it. Many thanks.

Greetings to you. I could but I have deliberately left the interior untouched as I feel that this Cloud almost "stands alone" in that regard. They're only original once, as they say. Thanks for your suggestion though and for watching.

Glad you like her. Many thanks.

Thanks for your encouragement.

You're correct, it does need to be preserved. Many thanks for your encouraging comments.

Sorry to tell you that B.M.W at Goodwood ,.I refuse to call them Rolls_Royce. Would want absolutely nothing to do with this old -school car !. RIP Rolls_Royce Rolls_Royce 1904 - 2002.......😢

Yes, let's not talk about the fuel consumption. Glad you like the coachwork. Thanks for watching.

Well spotted. Thanks for watching.

Appreciate your sentiments. It's good to hear that you've had good results with Dot 5 silicone brake fluid. May I ask if you have had it installed for some time? I'm interested in hearing any longer term reports on this fluid regarding its corrosion protection properties and anti seize nature.Thanks for watching.

@@duncan-ellison It's been in my car for many years and I've had no problems, there's no seeping out of the master cylinder from failing seals. The best thing about it is that it's not hygroscopic, so if you keep any car in an unheated garage any water vapour that makes its way into the system from the seasons heating and cooling the air, it doesn't really effect the system _ un-like alcohol based systems. My 340 Jaguar is a different story, the end seal inside the remote vacuum servo went very quickly causing an internal leak, I have yet to get in there and repair it. Manufactures don't seem to make their seals compatible with DOT 5, or at least they won't take the responsibility when asked; with one expectation, and that has been Introcar, they came right out and said their seals were compatible with everything. To answer your question, a fluid that does not absorb water, does not pose problems of corrosion and seizing upon a system, it's the seal compatibility that's the problem. I have a new set of seals for the Jag that I've had soaking in DOT5 for well over a year, and they appear to be fine. They have not swollen and turned to mush or have gone rock hard. I believe DOT 5 is still around for use in the military as those vehicles can be stored for long periods of time in unheated facilities.

@@Jeffmartin-dt8pc Apologies for not replying sooner. As I am steam powered I have only just discovered this comment which was under "Held for approval" for some reason. That is very interesting regarding your servo seal. Silicone ingestion into your engine wouldn't be good. Hopefully an alcohol cleaned "dry" system with new seals should be OK. I am under the impression that silicone fluid is an inert substance that cannot attack rubber. Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you. Glad you like the Cloud.

Thank you and I'm glad you like the Cloud. Yes , to be this well preserved after 64 years makes this a "stand alone" car. Best wishes.

Glad you approve of the Rolls Royce. Comparing this car to others on the market I would suggest that the price should be higher to mirror the condition. Thanks for watching.

Yes, the separate chassis cars are special indeed. Thanks for watching.

Great comment. Yes of coarse you're right. I love the MK2 Jaguar I think it was the most handsome car ever made bar none, and a cleverer design than the Cloud. As you will know, the MK2 3.8 was the fastest 4 door saloon on the road in its day and dominated the race track until 1963. Not forgetting the Monza Speed bowl record too. I have 4 Mk2's in storage . Please check out my previous sales page to see a few of the MK2's we've owned over the decades. We like the same cars. Thanks for watching.

There will be a video coming soon for the T2 that you like. Well spotted and thanks for watching.

You're both correct. The top half is Black Pearl metallic and the lower half is Masons Black non metallic. A win win. "Blessed are the peacemakers". You can see some dust on the surface when I was close up. Hope that helps. Best wishes.

Yes, some of the 1980's cars are really sought after. Thanks for watching.
