One of my favorite memories is when I was off the interstate and this beautiful Rolls pulled up next to me at the gas station. I was so admiring the car that it took me a couple minutes to realize that the guy pumping the gas was Muhammed Ali. Really a gentleman, who had a chuckle that it was the car I was so excited to check out. Actually I think it might have been a refreshing change for him.
I met him in Las Vegas while he was training for a fight. As you said, really good guy. Took a moment to speak with me and left me with an autograph and a great memory.
awesome car , my 2015 S550 I paid $29.000 for , has all those options as well … if you’re in the market for used luxury vehicle , depreciation is your best friend 😊 … you can pick up used Ghosts now for $50.000 all day long …
How true were your words regarding the bulk of depreciation having already happened. October 2021 and these Ghost's are still fetching a hefty price, in the region of £100k.
Superb review. if i sell the wife and three kids i can have one!.....thats illegal? denying me such beauty is a crime itself in my book. Awesome elegance, many thanks for the insight
Hi Peter, this car symbolises the one thing that stands out in my mind and should not ever be forgotten the very best of British Engineering back in the day prior to BMW taking ownership don’t get me wrong they have done ever so well but it’s grass roots are here on British soil and I for one are very proud of RR. As you say for the money £120k you could spec a RS6 performance and it could go over that amount and take a massive hit on deprecation as soon as it leaves the showroom but Peter a very good video and your correct it’s food for thought when spending £100k plus on a car as ever Best wishes Alan B.
Petrol Ped Thanks Peter I think your being a bit generous with your kind comments as what You tuber looks forward to my comments you must be the only one of a very few. Best Wishes Alan B
Hi Ped I thought that was an inspired topic to cover. I remember about 3 years ago I bought a 1 yr old BMW535d M Sport for good money only to find a 5 yr old Bentley Conti GT Coupe with less than 30k miles for onky £500 more. I was an inch away from an impulse purchase until her indoors shared her always correct point of view lol. Did make me think though if that's the best way to buy top end cars. great vlog as always Ped.
Hi P.P. I bought a 2010 Lexus, LS 460 L awd.It wasn’t a hybrid model, I didn’t want. It is maxed out with executive stating shiatsu massage seats. TV between the rear seats With modern technology into face,,, countless features including lane to depart, Steering assist, this distronic radar cruise control, Self-leveling air suspension, double glazed laminated windows. The cars purchase price was 140,000 Canadian I got it for 30,000 with 80,000 km. It’s like new. Similarly the interior is immaculate showing no wear. The Lexus will last reliability for 470,000 km. This is my third. 20 years minimum maintenance. I have a maxed out LS 430 2001, which is great running beautifully. I have my eye on a phantom next but the extended wheelbase are rare . Or Bentley Malzahn extended wheelbase. Those are stratospheric cars for the super rich so I can’t touch them until well after a decade but I still love them so three cheers to you guys in England motor on.
Ghost is the smallest of the Rolls Royce, correct ! Amazing car and that’s the best way to buy a car like Rolls Royce,let others take the depreciation.
£120K 7 year old Rolls Royce? That really is an interesting proposition. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to wait a little longer, like 20 years little longer.
I'd missed this one, but what a thought provoking video. You have a habit of doing this Peter! This really does emphasise just how special Rolls Royce's are. Rolls or Uber Saloon? No contest. Unfortunately, even my 'man maths' can't make the numbers work for one of these, but we can all dream...
If you had bought it, well you gave that impression on the way to the dealership, was your intention. I noticed you had a gallows' laugh, a nervous laugh. Your logic was good. I am guessing you did not have the income or the savings to be able to make the purchase which is no disgrace. Be comfortable with yourself and you will get over thinking the car you are in, makes you any better or worse. Famous people always thought they were lucky to meet me, not the other way around. May you live long and prosper. Then you make the Rolls a reward for making it possible!
Very enjoyable review of a magnificent automobile. I have a Shadow and it is interesting to see some similar styling cues reflected in this model. Looking forward to seeing more review. Cheers from St Petersburg Florida.
Even as an eight year old pre owned a lot of people aren't prepared for the maintenance and repair costs to keep it running like it should and looking like it should . Brake jobs costs thousands and if you need to replace the adjustable suspension..your looking at close to 20k. Sadly many of these cars go to shit with the second or third owner because people don't plan or realize you can easily spend 10k to 15k a year for upkeep.
My Phantom was covered by the RR Provenance scheme including free brake components. My Ghost is not but the running costs are really not that bad if you look after the car properly. A comparable German saloon will shed 50k the minute you pick it up.
Smart video ☺️ I work and live in the UAE, I'm seriously considering to get a 2010 GHOST. Price? in GBP asking 73.000 which is 95.500 US$. The car got 60.000 Km on it, no warranty, full dealer history. Zero paint zero accident. Not with the Night Vision neither Adoptive Cruise Control. S500 and BMW & series USED, costs about 20% less with similar conditions/Km. Question is, after 5 years the car will have any market ? ☺️ how much you will loose in % when you resell it again? Repairs and maintenance? its 99% BMW 750IL.
Peter, great video, a former friend of mine sent it to me. I use the word former, as I've just bought a brand new BMW 750M Sport with an identical sticker price, which I suspect is why he sent me the link. The Ghost looks exceptional, and yes I'd rather be driving that. I would point out nobody in their right mind would pay list price for an S Class or a 7 Series though, I got £35k off mine. Still doesn't make me feel any better about my decision.
+Mark Robinson Hi Mark. How interesting. I’m sure your car is stunning but this Ghost is certainly food for thought 👍 Hopefully you will forgive your friend soon 😂
Thanks for a really good, well made, sensible video, Almost all reviewers of top people’s cars tip-toe around the topic of cruel depreciation. You didn’t. What is perhaps worth noticing too, is that the depreciation on a RR Wraith looks actually even more savage than on a RR Ghost. So, if one were lucky enough to be looking in this area, the RR Wraith might be a more fun alternative. Thanks too for pointing out that with cars like these a long (approved manufacturers) warranty, together with a deal on servicing, dilutes much of the suppressed anxiety of hugely expensive things going wrong which is always in the background with cars like this.
Does not matter how affordable you think the Ghost is, it was build up for a different kind of elite group. At some point your pockets will be put to the test as far as service and maintenance.
Just been informed by a fellow viewer at 2.42 he’s says just over 10,000 miles. I apologise to the host, I missed that totally. Mean while I actively searched for this model. Cheapest £87k same year, lousy spec and more miles. I would love to own this car. Would suit my philosophy buying decent second had. Cash awaits .
Nice car, great video, working in Bristol I see these being tested as well as all the other supercars from Supercars of Bristol. Interested in asking what you use for recording, what is your equipment you are using please?? Have already subscribed to your channel.
This was my first thought as well. Considering the high-spec and the exceptional way the car was maintained, it’s a vicious devaluation curve. I wonder what the original owner thought of his resale price, for a car only used 6 months of the year!
The Phantom cost about 60% more than the Ghost and depreciates even faster than the Ghost. The Phantom is basically a to-be-driven car while the Ghost is designed for self-driving.
Peter, that's so kind of you but my Birthday isn't 'til Tuesday. Don't bother wrapping it up I'll take it as it is. What ? It's not a surprise prezzie pour moi ? Bu**er !!
Is it nerve wracking to drive it along a Cornish lane or class 'C' road - how easy is it to locate the corners of the car when trying to judge width etc?
A Splendid Review. Super Interesting Peep Into A World Most Folk Will Never See. Some Things Remind Us As Arthur Daley Said, “ British Is Best” !. Kind Regards.
Just over £112,000 for a souped up 9 years old BMW ...why not buy a BMW 760 for half the price and twice the car? Pedantically, all Luxury Cars of yesteryear are PIA to maintain, especially, a Rolls Royce. All cars are subject to driving habits and maintenance. A FIAT 500, properly driven and maintained shall outsmart a poorly driven and maintained Rolls Royce. The Rolls Royce Engine was a piece of Marvel and Art that made Rolls Royce the quietest, making the car like almost sailing. Alas, no more. They started using Chrysler's Engine with Rolls Royce written over it. Then came the bombshell: BMW Engines. Now it is just a big heavy metal with parts from all over the place. People who used to buy Rolls Royce cars have moved upward. They buy an Aircraft and a Helicopter.
Beautiful car and spec,just loose the chrome wheels for me. The night vision, heads up display and active cruise and 360 cameras mean it must feel like a new car with toys. 2 years warranty for peace of mind.
Great video Mr Ped. A bargain of a car, makes you think about owning one for a brief while. Was your introduction to the guys at Bristol RR because the Caterham broke down near there? If it was it would be something good coming out of a not so good incident.
Hi Ray. Certainly a thought provoking car. I first met the guys from RR Bristol when I had the Wraith last year, and they also invited me to Goodwood and the Phantom launch. I was actually visiting them in Caterham when it had a drive shaft issue ;-) I hope to do much more with them going forward, including my first trip to the Geneva Motorshow next year :-)
For the price of this Rolls it is by far a better deal to buy than any of the new cars of today at the same price. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I had the money, but not with that plum colour leather inside, not very BUTCH at all, red or pale grey would be great , I think if you had bought the car and took it home to show your wife, you'd be off the team for life. for spending so much money on one car.
Now that was a quick reply, at the start of your video you said you were going to buy your first Rolls Royce, but in the end you didn't, why not, I always make it a rule to always do what I say what I'm going to do and or buy, for if you keep on saying you are going to do things and then don't do them, people will start and say you are all wind and piss OUCH, I say nothing until I've done what I intend to do or buy, best way, keep your cards close to your chest, better still keep them in the box.
Some people might even call the first owner cheap for doing that :p. To be honest, I would not care at all. The car looks amazing. I have yet to drive one but it is on my to do list.
You lied about buying it (god knows why) and took this rain virgin masterpiece in the piss wet rain, what a disrespectful thing to do. Awesome channel content though, subbed.
Beautiful car but I see a major factory defect that I don't know how you missed. They put the steering wheel and all the controls on the wrong side!!!!!!! 😞😨😰😱😲😲
I have a mate with a five year old Bentley Continental GT which has done 8,000 miles...think I might make a cheeky offer and get a practically new car for half price!
Petrol Ped. Rolls Royce is a German uber saloon. The car has a 6.75 L V12 engine sourced from BMW, Parts come from Continental Europe and the UK. Assembly line, leather work, wood work, and finishing are carried out in a new factory in Goodwood near Chichester, Sussex. A perfect combination of German engineering and good old fashioned British upholstery. A marriage as they say in the car workshop .Shame about Brexit though a bit of a divorce on the horizon for this lovely coupling. BMW will probably move half of the Rolls Royce production to Holland or Austria to finish them off. Just like they have with they're new BMW MINI production plant, instead of increasing the size of the Oxford plant which only produces about half of all the BMW MINI's anyway. So crew get ready to go Dutch. Because the import and export duty on the same high end luxury car going in and out of Europe is what is know as a double whammy. Ouch. That will put the price up on an already expensive motor sport. Come to think of it ''If you have to ask the price of a Rolls Royce you probably don't own a petrol company.''
Petrol Ped. Yes i agree it is very hard to move an actual building of that you have assured me. However as you live very close to said Assembly plant i'm sure you cannot help but notice most of the cars that leave the facility are left hand drive. Why would BMW export a complete chassis and the engine and the drivetrain and the suspension and the breaks to Sussex to compete the marriage if they know nobody in england is going to buy a left hand drive car, so they will obviously have to then export it back into Europe and depending on the final agreement between team UK and the EU this isn't going to be either easy or free. Those 4 freedoms of Movement, People, Money and Labour will go out the window. Unless the UK stays in the customs union which kinda defeats the point of leaving in the first place. Can you see the logic behind my thinking and of course BMW also stating that leaving the EU would have adverse financial consequences on there car production. And lets face it they didn't become a world leader in car manufacturing by getting all teary eyed about the union jack. (Munich-based BMW builds Mini-brand and Rolls-Royce models as well as vehicle components for the group at plants in England, and its exports from the UK total about £2.4bn. Speaking at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Mr Duesmann said: “Anything beyond zero level of duty will possibly lead to us changing our value chain. There he said it. ''Anything beyond zero'' now that's not very much room to negotiate with. And when he talks about the value chain being changed do you think in the context of the UK and Brexit the part of the chain that '' will possibly lead to us changing it'' might he be referring to the UK bit of the chain or as a game show once said '' the weakest link''. Also bosses at PSA - owner Vauxhall, Opel, Peugeot and Citroen - said they were becoming impatient to get guidance on Brexit to make investment decisions. So it's not only BMW but everyone else as well who are getting nervous.) PUBLISHED: 09:53, Fri, Sep 15, 2017 www.express.co.uk/news/world/854515/Brexit-news-BMW-bosses-fear-brexit-impact

Superb review. if i sell the wife and three kids i can have one!.....thats illegal? denying me such beauty is a crime itself in my book. Awesome elegance, many thanks for the insight
Maybe you could try EBay !
I too collect my first ever Rolls Royce tomorrow (06/10/21). It's a Ghost and I am SO looking forward to the experience....

Thank you for allocating the time to create the video! What a genuinely exquisite car!
My pleasure 👍
Fabulous video. Unbelievable value for money. Thanks . Oh and to have the word Goodwood on it as well. Im selling my house now!
Thanks Richard. Good luck with the house sale !!
I will buy one in my my 50 birthday for sure. thanks
well done !!!! what a great video ,just as perfect as a Rolls Royce, elegant and masterful and very informative

The Ghost is a lovely auto, one of my cleaning ladies has one.
LOL !
What an idiot
Mr. Washington why
Your thinking with regards to buying S class or RR is completely correct. Plus you’ll feel like you’re driving something special.
Stunning piece of craftsmanship and engineering.
Indeed 👍
Ghost is the smallest of the Rolls Royce, correct ! Amazing car and that’s the best way to buy a car like Rolls Royce,let others take the depreciation.
Wraith is smaller
Love the production values! Background music made me think I was watching "Harry Potter buys his first RR".
Thanks. If I was Harry Potter I would magic a RR for myself ;-)
£120K 7 year old Rolls Royce? That really is an interesting proposition. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to wait a little longer, like 20 years little longer.
Lol, emissions army would not let you buy it by that timeline 😅😅
@@Mashburn007 Synthetic fuel?!
@@aabidamn the norms that are being constantly made in the UK regarding emissions are really wild.

Even as an eight year old pre owned a lot of people aren't prepared for the maintenance and repair costs to keep it running like it should and looking like it should .

Sadly many of these cars go to shit with the second or third owner because people don't plan or realize you can easily spend 10k to 15k a year for upkeep.
Very true 😥
It does NOT cost 20k for air suspension lmfao more like 6 or so.
My Phantom was covered by the RR Provenance scheme including free brake components. My Ghost is not but the running costs are really not that bad if you look after the car properly. A comparable German saloon will shed 50k the minute you pick it up.
Peter very happy for you. Beautiful car!
Thanks Robert, but I didn't actually buy it !
Nice one Peter, this is a bucket list drive for me!
They drive SO well Chris !
The interior is beautiful.
Smart video ☺️
I work and live in the UAE, I'm seriously considering to get a 2010 GHOST. Price? in GBP asking 73.000 which is 95.500 US$.
The car got 60.000 Km on it, no warranty, full dealer history. Zero paint zero accident.
Not with the Night Vision neither Adoptive Cruise Control.
S500 and BMW & series USED, costs about 20% less with similar conditions/Km.
Question is, after 5 years the car will have any market ? ☺️ how much you will loose in % when you resell it again?
Repairs and maintenance? its 99% BMW 750IL.
Did you bought it?
Peter, great video, a former friend of mine sent it to me. I use the word former, as I've just bought a brand new BMW 750M Sport with an identical sticker price, which I suspect is why he sent me the link. The Ghost looks exceptional, and yes I'd rather be driving that. I would point out nobody in their right mind would pay list price for an S Class or a 7 Series though, I got £35k off mine.

+Mark Robinson Hi Mark. How interesting. I’m sure your car is stunning but this Ghost is certainly food for thought 👍 Hopefully you will forgive your friend soon 😂
someone is salty
also all new bmw is shit
i have a wraith, and i know the thing is a bmw 8 series underneath
What’s that camera setup on the driver door window please. Cheers.
Thoughouly enjoyable video Peter, what an amazing vehicle.
Cheers Nick :-)
WOW....!! That felt like I was driving with you . Hmmmm.....and that value proposition makes real sense . Truly enjoyable vid.

Depreciation is a real challenge with these cars, and I agree it's something that people often try to avoid :-(
If Fords were treated like Rolls Royce’s, they would last just as long. Ok, not RR in any way!
Steve Prince noooot
What gorgeous car 🤤
Does not matter how affordable you think the Ghost is, it was build up for a different kind of elite group. At some point your pockets will be put to the test as far as service and maintenance.
You might have a point there mate :-(
True, but the good side of it its all BMW 750 spare parts !
thank you!
My pleasure :-)
This vs wraith pros cons what would you pick
In about a year I will be really interested in a similar deal on a Phantom. Thanks so much for this great insight.
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
A unique and very interesting video, Pete. Well done! 👍🏻
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it :-)
Love this video and a great angle to hook people in. A good mid-week 180 question, what car depreciates the most over 1 year percentage wise?
Tune in on Wednesday...I'm using your question ;-)
Petrol Ped haha nice one!! I’ll send my invoice through shortly 😉
Amazing video
Cheers Ron :-)
Hi another very good video well done.
Thanks Richard, glad you enjoyed it :-)

Petrol Ped we have a black badge wraith .... Love to drive it . It’s like your gliding on air
Nice car, great video, working in Bristol I see these being tested as well as all the other supercars from Supercars of Bristol. Interested in asking what you use for recording, what is your equipment you are using please?? Have already subscribed to your channel.
Hi there. Thanks for the sub 👍 I actually made a film about all the gear in use. Here is a link 😜
th-cam.com/video/ZwwKNLqLTEU/w-d-xo.html
How is driving a car of this size in the city (motorway, regular streets, roundabouts and etc)?
There is no doubt this is a veery big car, but no different to driving a large SUV like a Range Rover.
its a 7 series BMW longer by few inch
Lovely video. Are you sure it isn't a new Rolls? Showroom condition. I'd love to see the garage it was kept in.
It was phenomenal...not a mark on it !
How much did it cost new as specced in 2010? Lovely car though. Pomp and heritage in bucket loads!!! 👍👍
I'll ask for you, but I think it will be around £230-250k.
This was my first thought as well. Considering the high-spec and the exceptional way the car was maintained, it’s a vicious devaluation curve. I wonder what the original owner thought of his resale price, for a car only used 6 months of the year!
So what's the difference between a ghost and a phantom and can you get a ghost in a Long Wheel base like you can an S class or a 750Li?
Maybe think of it like the difference between a BMW 3 Series and 5 Series ;-)
Not sure about the L version.
The Phantom cost about 60% more than the Ghost and depreciates even faster than the Ghost. The Phantom is basically a to-be-driven car while the Ghost is designed for self-driving.
If you own a ghost,you can be dam sure your boss gets driven in a phantom.
That's the difference in a nutshell.
Peter, that's so kind of you but my Birthday isn't 'til Tuesday. Don't bother wrapping it up I'll take it as it is. What ? It's not a surprise prezzie pour moi ?
Bu**er !!
My please Geof. IM me your address...but if I were you I'd wait till you watch my Monday video ;-)
Petrol Ped
Curiouser & curiouser. Monday ? Hmm 😒. Yes,, I can do that Peter.
Cheers
A lovely video I enjoyed fantasising about owning it then I wondered how much does it cost to insure.
BRILLIANT VIDEO.. I HAVE THE WRATH IN THE SAME COLOUR, BEST CAR EVER..
You lucky thing 👍
museum piece
Ah! My bad. Still, thanks for showing us that car. You seemed to enjoy the vehicle very much.
Nice video 😀
Is it nerve wracking to drive it along a Cornish lane or class 'C' road - how easy is it to locate the corners of the car when trying to judge width etc?
Beautiful...
And what is the name of the music in the background?
I can't remember if I'm honest. I'd have to dig out my source files !
filtered rain water, really, he must be some freak
He loved his car !
Why would he sell it
His wife divorced him over his obsessive behaviour towards his baby Rolls.
Not so unusual. Our window cleaner uses same😏
The perfect car for me would be a Rolls Royce Wraith!
They are very nice too !
Wraith is the worst RR one can buy. It fits the old wisdom: pay good money for a bad product. It looks like a 1970 Plymouth.
Jimmy Yoh it's one of the best looking cars out there...
If you want a coupe, buy a Phantom Coupe.
A Splendid Review. Super Interesting Peep Into A World Most Folk Will Never See.
Some Things Remind Us As Arthur Daley Said, “ British Is Best” !. Kind Regards.
John Fenner it's German though
James Thom I Fear You Are Right ! Oh Dear !.
John Fenner Not 100pc British, but the BMW mix isn't a bad thing for the brand imo.
I want the yellow convertible at the back of the showroom. Please arrange to have it shipped to California. Thanks. :-)
I know what you mean...it was LOVELY !!
Do you prefer driving the Phanton or Ghost?
Drive a Ghost and be driven in a Phantom 😜
Just over £112,000 for a souped up 9 years old BMW ...why not buy a BMW 760 for half the price and twice the car?
Pedantically, all Luxury Cars of yesteryear are PIA to maintain, especially, a Rolls Royce. All cars are subject to driving habits and maintenance. A FIAT 500, properly driven and maintained shall outsmart a poorly driven and maintained Rolls Royce. The Rolls Royce Engine was a piece of Marvel and Art that made Rolls Royce the quietest, making the car like almost sailing. Alas, no more. They started using Chrysler's Engine with Rolls Royce written over it. Then came the bombshell: BMW Engines. Now it is just a big heavy metal with parts from all over the place. People who used to buy Rolls Royce cars have moved upward. They buy an Aircraft and a Helicopter.
Why was it on a dealership showroom. Did the first owner have it repossessed or traded it in
It was being sold for the owner.
Beautiful car and spec,just loose the chrome wheels for me.
The night vision, heads up display and active cruise and 360 cameras mean it must feel like a new car with toys.
2 years warranty for peace of mind.
It's as good as new !
Awesome Video, congratulations ✨
Thanks, sadly I didn't get to drive it home !

Not sure if they do a tow bar on their options list 😕
Petrol Ped dam , that’s me out 😂
The car driven in the video has a red interior, the car listed as a cream interior.??? Do u take offers?
This car was sold just days after I filmed this review.
Why didn't you get a spur, maybach, rapide s or xjl SS?
Can't believe I'm writing this. That is a bargain. I've got the £12 now where did I put those noughts??
LOL...I know what you mean !
Great video Mr Ped. A bargain of a car, makes you think about owning one for a brief while. Was your introduction to the guys at Bristol RR because the Caterham broke down near there? If it was it would be something good coming out of a not so good incident.
Hi Ray. Certainly a thought provoking car. I first met the guys from RR Bristol when I had the Wraith last year, and they also invited me to Goodwood and the Phantom launch. I was actually visiting them in Caterham when it had a drive shaft issue ;-) I hope to do much more with them going forward, including my first trip to the Geneva Motorshow next year :-)
Peter you have de valued that by sitting in the rear seat LoL .Lovely car .
Ooops ;-)
“Never driven in the rain” too
Vary cool !!
I'm getting a wraith though :)
For the price of this Rolls it is by far a better deal to buy than any of the new cars of today at the same price. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I had the money, but not with that plum colour leather inside, not very BUTCH at all, red or pale grey would be great , I think if you had bought the car and took it home to show your wife, you'd be off the team for life. for spending so much money on one car.
I always need to get the PO signed BEFORE I make the purchase !
Thank you for your quick reply, but what is PO and what does it stand for, is it another text shortened word that I hate to hear, I blame BREXIT, HeHe
Sorry, it stands for Purchase Order ;-)
Now that was a quick reply, at the start of your video you said you were going to buy your first Rolls Royce, but in the end you didn't, why not, I always make it a rule to always do what I say what I'm going to do and or buy, for if you keep on saying you are going to do things and then don't do them, people will start and say you are all wind and piss OUCH, I say nothing until I've done what I intend to do or buy, best way, keep your cards close to your chest, better still keep them in the box.
I'm not buying this BMW. The German carmakers were supposed to come to our aid.
Washed with filtered rain water. Well that is a new one. 😂
Yep 😂
Some people might even call the first owner cheap for doing that :p. To be honest, I would not care at all. The car looks amazing. I have yet to drive one but it is on my to do list.
Anyone know what I would get for a Peugeot 106D in part-ex? lol
Worth asking 😜
It’s a very very good family car but u need to lease it
So only 142,000 US dollars? Cheap asf
Amazing video, but, idk, maybe I missed it, did you say how much it was?
It was up for sale for £112,000 👍
Oh man, nice find!
I'll take a Bentley 2 door!
The steering wheel is on the wrong side. 😉 Hello from California.
😂😂😂
I seen this car in Bradford high street
I would rather buy an S63 AMG Coupe to drive myself or a Saloon to get chauffeured in!
You'd certainly get more noise :-)
And backache from the rock hard ‘sporty’ suspension
Look through the window at 7:32 is that a good omen? 🤣🤣🤣
You lied about buying it (god knows why) and took this rain virgin masterpiece in the piss wet rain, what a disrespectful thing to do. Awesome channel content though, subbed.
You had me there...I though I'd never see you again ! Just a cheeky little teaser to keep you guys watching :-)
Very nice ,als project bei copart gerne with pleasure
Very posh! Lip sync was out for me when watching most of it.
Sorry to hear that. The video file was OK when it was uploaded and when I checked once published :-(
You‘re dreaming buddy! The depreciation will keep on going!
Not my kind of car, but hey if it spins your wheels, rock and roll...
Not for everyone I know, but I thought your'd like to see it anyway ;-)
No one sits in 🔙 wtf must of been 1lonely person 😁😁😁
Beautiful car but I see a major factory defect that I don't know how you missed. They put the steering wheel and all the controls on the wrong side!!!!!!! 😞😨😰😱😲😲
LOL !
why only 10,000 mile 7 years
Saved it for best I guest and only drove it in the dry which in this country means you can't drive it often ;-)
I have a mate with a five year old Bentley Continental GT which has done 8,000 miles...think I might make a cheeky offer and get a practically new car for half price!
You don’t get any more luxury than a Rolls Royce. Where was the 0 to 60 Test ? 😉
He said it does it in 5 seconds.
It felt too new and special to do that mate. Amazingly it will do it in about 5 seconds !
Petrol Ped. Rolls Royce is a German uber saloon. The car has a 6.75 L V12 engine sourced from BMW, Parts come from Continental Europe and the UK. Assembly line, leather work, wood work, and finishing are carried out in a new factory in Goodwood near Chichester, Sussex. A perfect combination of German engineering and good old fashioned British upholstery. A marriage as they say in the car workshop .Shame about Brexit though a bit of a divorce on the horizon for this lovely coupling. BMW will probably move half of the Rolls Royce production to Holland or Austria to finish them off. Just like they have with they're new BMW MINI production plant, instead of increasing the size of the Oxford plant which only produces about half of all the BMW MINI's anyway. So crew get ready to go Dutch. Because the import and export duty on the same high end luxury car going in and out of Europe is what is know as a double whammy. Ouch. That will put the price up on an already expensive motor sport. Come to think of it ''If you have to ask the price of a Rolls Royce you probably don't own a petrol company.''
I live 3 miles from the Rolls Royce factory. I can assure you it’s going nowhere 😜 As you say though. A great marriage.
Petrol Ped. Yes i agree it is very hard to move an actual building of that you have assured me. However as you live very close to said Assembly plant i'm sure you cannot help but notice most of the cars that leave the facility are left hand drive. Why would BMW export a complete chassis and the engine and the drivetrain and the suspension and the breaks to Sussex to compete the marriage if they know nobody in england is going to buy a left hand drive car, so they will obviously have to then export it back into Europe and depending on the final agreement between team UK and the EU this isn't going to be either easy or free. Those 4 freedoms of Movement, People, Money and Labour will go out the window. Unless the UK stays in the customs union which kinda defeats the point of leaving in the first place. Can you see the logic behind my thinking and of course BMW also stating that leaving the EU would have adverse financial consequences on there car production. And lets face it they didn't become a world leader in car manufacturing by getting all teary eyed about the union jack.
(Munich-based BMW builds Mini-brand and Rolls-Royce models as well as vehicle components for the group at plants in England, and its exports from the UK total about £2.4bn.
Speaking at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Mr Duesmann said: “Anything beyond zero level of duty will possibly lead to us changing our value chain. There he said it. ''Anything beyond zero'' now that's not very much room to negotiate with. And when he talks about the value chain being changed do you think in the context of the UK and Brexit the part of the chain that '' will possibly lead to us changing it'' might he be referring to the UK bit of the chain or as a game show once said '' the weakest link''. Also bosses at PSA - owner Vauxhall, Opel, Peugeot and Citroen - said they were becoming impatient to get guidance on Brexit to make investment decisions. So it's not only BMW but everyone else as well who are getting nervous.) PUBLISHED: 09:53, Fri, Sep 15, 2017

He barely drove it.. he lavished all that care on it like he would cherish it forever.
It sure was a well loved car 👌
