What happens to a luxury car that's truly driven? CAR WIZARD shows on '94 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur 3 

Flying Spares may be the greatest car parts shop name ever.

My jaw just dropped. That thing looks absolutely stunning and the shape it's in is incredible. I'd love to see the folder with all the maintenance bills. An owner who's been keeping that car in such good order surely must've kept all the receipts... :)

"Actually I hate LS swaps" WOOOOOOOO finally a man of culture!

That LS swap comment offended my British sensibilities so much I instinctively grew a monocle so it could fall off.

The noise in the background are parts breaking on Hoovies Bentley. They are breaking as it sits there.

Somewhere a detailer put his kids through college keeping this car looking like this.

My Dad taught me about working on cars back in the 50s, and one thing he always said was "don't 'shotgun' your repairs, fix 'em right the first time, and you'll be happy for a lot longer." Glad to see you're a devotee' of this advice, as well! God bless all!

At last an American that doesn’t rip the soul out of English cars! Thank you car wizard! Officially your biggest fan now!

Gold star for wizard for using English terms for an English car. Bonnet 😁😁

I drive my 1990 silver spur,five days out of the week.210.000 Kms and run like a flying carpet.I wish the car wizard was living by my place.

Wizard: ‘’Bye Felicia’’

"If you see an older car with only 17,000 miles, walk away from it...." Hoovie and his Lambos have left the chat.

Car Wizard your massive upswing in production value, due largely to your comfort in front of the camera, has been an inspiration! so psyched for you to hit 500k

I started out watching Hoovies very entertaining videos and realised a key component to his success was a good trustworthy thorough and reliable mechanic. Car wizard is a major find and a insight into the works behind the scenes in a high calibre independent garage. In London the guaranteed expectation of such workmanship is possible once your able to make acquaintance after painstakingly searching. I’ll be subscribing and adding to my sparse carefully selected list a great informative useful scholar worthy technicians.

"I hate LS swaps" made me so happy. I'm tired of all the unoriginal LS swap comments on every old British car post.

Wizard of Cars: "It's extremely windy today in Kansas." Dorothy: "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. Click your heels together three times and say 'There's no place like home' and you'll be there."

Car wizard has my respect, I have been driving for 67 years and he has the correct attitude and devotion, thank you wizard!

Car Wizard restores my faith in America. 👍

Would the owner of this high mileage roller be willing to do a little interview talking about the extended ownership of a car like this?

I've never even heard of a Rolls Royce with over 100,000 miles let alone see one in near showroom condition with 150K.

I worked on a Bentley Mulsanne (90’s). The owner (original) had 245,000 kms. and he wanted an oil charge and a general inspection, as he was driving to Mexico.... from Canada! I would hardly trust my own vehicles to make the the 4,500 km. trip... each way! But it was a near perfect example, despite its mileage (kilometreage?). Thanks for the video.

The banging might be Tyler from Hoovies garage trying to get in!

Thank you for the older Rolls and Bentley's video's you do!!!!! You are fantastic!! Your channel is the best!!!

Wizard I'll admit you got me with the LS swap gag. I'm like, "YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING!" Keep up the good humor because we enjoy it as well as the excellent informative lessons.

Wizard: "It's not a hooptie." Narrator: "It was, in fact, a hooptie."

Cleaning my beverage off of my monitor after the “Bye Felicia” comment.

Can we import the Car Wizard with his honesty and work ethic to the UK please? We'll send you Clarkson, May and Hammond in a swap. R12 refrigerant was certainly retained and stored in bulk by the UK Ministry Of Defence back in the mid to late 90's after R134 replaced it.

From the Internet it sometimes seems like the answer to every engine problem in the USA is the LS. Old Jag? LS swap it. Rolls Royce? LS swap it. Lawnmower won't start? LS swap it. Nice to see someone keeping things original.

150,000 miles =$ 150,000.00 in maintenance fees

Would you flush the old condenser, so we can see some of the debris that comes out?

at the dealership in norway i work at, we have written r2d2 on our AC service machine😂

On R-12 to R-134 cars that have not yet had a compressor replaced you often need to replace any rubber hoses as well. Often these cars have bled down over time through the rubber itself and been though several recharges leading to a failure of the descant bag in the dryer.

OMG, I can't believe that the Wizard said "Bye Felicia". My respect level just went up another notch.

Mrs Wizard giving him an earful about getting another car is priceless.

Totally agree David, Rolls Royce didn't make the car to be a driveway ornament, they made it to be the most comfortable way to get from A to B. The fact it's churned out 150k miles and is still in unmarked condition is a testament to the care and respect shown by the owner. I'd gladly buy that person a pint and shake thier hand, this is exactly how a car of this status should be kept and enjoyed. Also, my bet is on you buying that Countach Anniversary off Tyler and him keeping the Diablo VT.

Beautiful car in the right hands. If I owned a car like that, and I will one day, I would only entrust it to guys like you guys because you care.

I like mrs Wizard...she's funny 😁

'LS swaps are so yesterday....' LMAO!

Your segments are so educational and very enjoyable.. I really appreciate your detailed explanations. I had a 73 silver shadow and always had one problem or another.. Just be glad you don't have to deal with accumulators and RR363 brake fluid.. Looking forward to your next Rolls Royce or Bentley Video .

I'm not sure how I ended up here, or why I can't look away. Thanks for the tour of that car: it is really sharp.

I had the compressor replaced in my Mercedes, took about a year but it sopped working. We moved from Arizona to Maine so I don't need it, lol.

500K subs soon! That's fantastic. And totally - totally! - deserved for such wonderful, consistently fascinating and entertaining content. And I have learned so much since you started (a lot of it actionable!). I hope you guys do something a bit crazy for that milestone. Belated Happy New Year, by the way. I hope you and yours have a fantastic 2021 with continued success.

Like the new intro. The gunmetal grey looks good and I love the grey interior instead of the usual beige you see. Also agree with going N/A > turbo. Good to hear an American call it bonnet.

Love Mrs. Wizard chiming in all the time cracks me up

Love the videos, the explanation is so calm that I want to take my cars to the Wizard!

Wise words from the Car Wizard “Do not eat car parts”

Watching your videos while working on other screen is very nice. You do speak calm in a good tempo, delivering quality information. Played already 4 videos in a row and continuing.

This is one of the very few old luxury non sporty cars that I'd like to have and drive. It exudes class. And, regardless its classic design, still it doesn't look "old".

Magic Mike Beard is looking established!

What has been seen cannot be unseen. It will forever be “Angry R2D2”.

I love the styling on this car, it has a great mix of modern and old

I like the new intro. That is a beautiful car. ❤️ Mrs. Wizard

Amuses me that the RR does not look like a behemoth in an American garage, even on the highway for that matter.

Mazda 6 MPS in the background, hopefully the engine hasn't decided to spit a conrod through the side of the block, that's how mine died :(

Man, I'm so glad I found this channel ! Mr. Wizard is so cool and has such a nice voice...oh boy, I wish I were a mechanic but I don't think I could handle it...anyways, great content !!!

always happy to see older cars well taken care of and not like just treated like an investment car (like most older ferraris) I appreciate well-driven cars, especially if it's kept clean like that, that's a huge bonus.

"Something old, something nice". Based on the Wizard's taste I'm thinking along the lines of Deusenberg, Cord, Cadillac 16...

“I hate LS swaps.” - I love this channel even more now.

Thanks for another cool car video, Wizard. I am with you: cars need to be driven. When they sit, bad stuff happens. As for waiting for parts, hmm, I had some delays in getting parts for my brother-in-law's 2003 Lexus GS300. Took me two weeks for some of bolts and connectors.

Mr Wizard is the the Bob Ross of the automotive word. That voice is so calming it damn near puts me to sleep everytime..

Always a good day when you get some wonderful wizard wisdom

They have low revving motors with low stress on the interanls.

Well explained. I went through a similar issue like this on a prototype machine made in Germany. Someone had not cleaned out the metal chips in the hydraulic tank and it destroyed the whole machine in minutes, not sure how they could have tested it before shipping.

your channel has become one of my favorites to watch, and hope to stay tuned for years to come

Previous owner probably had the compressor lock up on them, slapped on a new belt and when the shipper started it the new belt never had a chance...

Oh yeah, that feeling when the wizard wants to show you the back seat of the Rolls.

What a beautiful car, hard to believe the millage and age... It does look new. It is in very good hands with you. I have great respect for your work!!!

Car Wizard, you are a genius at de mystifying mechanical eccentricities from the very basic to the most complex engine concepts.

Dolphin Gray. Beautiful car.

How many BHP does a Rolls Royce have??? "It's Adequate" 👌

It's great seeing Magic Mike thrive at the Wizard's Shop! He is prob learning so much! I would LOVE to see the Wizard maybe partner him up one day...he seems like a good dude to keep around! - No 'Bye, Felicia" for MM! LOL

ALL RIGHT!!! The last question is being asked once again! I have been BLESSED by getting my parts in a timely fashion. Only time I had an issue was over 40 years ago. Had a motorcycle that was a bit different, a 1976 Suzuki RE5. It was kind of unique and ran really well. BUT! It had a problem with it's "silicone rectifier", which controlled the charging of the battery [like a voltage regulator]. I had a few LONG conversations with the mechs at Justice Suzuki and they told me that rectifier was bad from the start. Not badly designed, just not a strong enough unit for this size bike. It needed one off a 1000 or bigger. They had none in stock of either size [the bigger unit required some rewiring!].This was middle of May; I wanted to ride my new [to me!!] bike this summer! So we ordered a new one, then I figured I better get two-just in case. [Mr. Murphy!] I even paid for rush-air service from I believe Osaka Japan, supposed to be 10-12 days max. I received my parts in time for my birthday............February 12th of the following year!!!! So, 9 months with Rush-Air shipping [I think it cost about $160ish; parts were $102.48!] and the first one DID NOT WORK. Second one did the trick. Before I took her out for a romp, I found out why they were blowing out, too much heat build-up!! I made a little air diverter to cool it better, lasted the couple years I had her before passing her on. They only built this bike for 2 years, 1975 and 1976. It was kind of unique in that it had a Wankle rotary engine!! BIG engine for a motorcycle, heavy too. Like riding with a dorm fridge between your legs. Smooth runner, and you could rev her to the Moon! No valves to float!! But again, thanks for the Final Question coming back. Always enjoyed it!!!!

What a magnificent motor car. Obviously owned by someone who cares about it. I do have to question the Khumho tires, though. They should be a Michelin on this model. Either the Michelin or Avon Turbosteel is a much better tire, and built for the weight of this beauty.

"Wizard, stop poking the lady....". Words to live by. 😁

Another excellent video from Mr Wizard, thank you so much to share your wisdom and work tips, greetings from Colombia!!!

Anybody else here think that Wizard has one of the most pleasing, easy to listen to, voice on RU-vid?

"LS swaps are soooo yesterday..." Blasphemy!! Lol. Always enjoy your videos, Car Wizard...keep it up!

Having a clogged orifice is never good.

You do such a good job. I really enjoy learning from your videos.

I like a Wizard' style and presentation continues to improve. Love the content, too.

Remember to clean mold from the evap, severe allergi and illness may occur when system is turned on after a long period of disuse.

Some people work very hard to get their Toyota and there's not a damn thing wrong with ls swaps especially when the engine that's in the car you're putting it in is total crap

Wizard, the little changes to the intro and the convo with Mrs. Wizard are spot on, I loved your content before and I love it still, just keep rolling! Yes, LS swaps are like Swapping a Bug engine for a 911 engine..... yawn 🥱! Keep rocking

At 0:43 I actually paused the video and let out a deep sigh, and sat for a moment, before hitting play again. You got me Car Wizard!

Right when you said LS swap! I immediately went “Heresy!!!!”

Hey Wizard, do you typically ask the owner's permission before featuring their car in a video? If so, does anyone ever decline?

Nice to see magic Mike again! Must be great to have the opportunity of working on those cars

Your understated sense of humour is looking really good next to the epitome of British car culture.

1:47 Who’s to blame? Lucas of course.

Hey Wizard & Mrs Wizard, I can't wait to see your new old car!!! Is it really a windy day in Kansas or is Hoovie standing outside your building & farting, like he did jn Elliots Hellcat? 🙄 I don't know what to tell you!!! 🤪

This is a fine car, namely because it has been taken care of and driven. Like you said, good seals because of use. I don't trust a lot of those cars whose miles are super low because of dry seals. Excellent car, Wizard!

Just found new place to store my jerky....loves this video

Wait till cleetus sees this lmfao

I can't be the only one who heard that LS swap and still thought sweet

I love these videos, a craftsman at his work.

Beautiful car you can tell he takes care of it and loves to drive it

Has anyone else noticed the increase in quality of the editing and content in wizards videos.

No wonder they can blow so cold, with double-condensors!

Great to see Magic Mike, can we see more of his work as well, just stuff that comes to mind right now: * Hoovie's, Porsche / Subaru convertible * Range Rover A/C

Thank you i liked where you put the evaporator in or the process
