- Updates on the repairs we have done on the car and advice on buying a Phantom.
People always are shocked to see how huge this car is when seen in perspective.
I am 6'2" and 215 lbs. The car is one of the largest "sedans" in the world when compared to
an SUV.

Fresh Rolls Royce video. Back to the classics. Definitely appreciate the update.
Omg love the video.
Since I have memory I’ve always love Rolls Royce, I’ve watched lots of documentaries, all my screen saver images are Rolls Royce, im just in love with Roll Royce because of what it represents for me, it’s beyond any words. The best car in the world. I’m 20 years old so it’s not that common that someone my age likes it that much. Most of my friends thinks it’s a brand for older people or for show off kinda of person. Definitely not. It’s about the refinement, luxury, comfort, presence, power, bespokeness, elegance, and so much more. The pinnacle of luxury, I couldn’t agree more about there’s nothing like it.
I was fortunate enough to travel to London, my first priority was to go to a Rolls Royce dealership and see a Phantom or any Rolls in person. Fell in love with it, it was everything I expected and beyond. I wanted to go to the factory in Goodwood England but I couldn’t, I didn’t mind much because I already fulfilled my dream of sitting in one. I just need to drive one now. And yes, it’s my dream and I will own a Rolls Royce sooner than later.
Right now I want to buy a Hyundai Equus, for the moment that’ll be my budget Rolls Royce. Then after I can afford it, I will get my beloved Phantom.
Thanks so much for the video! You are very fortunate
I paid $107,000 for a 2007 Rolls-Royce phantom. They are expensive to maintain. but a lot of fun to drive around in.
I have been informed that the umbrella holder has a duct that the heating system blows warm air to, so that the umbrella dries and does not get mouldy.
Your sense of humor throughout the video is just gold 😂
I missed your videos man, keep them coming!
Longer than an Excursion? Did not know that. The Phantom is still my favorite vehicle. I can't believe how quiet it is. Great video!!!
Never, never long enough your video's about owning a Phantom 👍 Greetings from Martin / Amsterdam / Holland.
Great video. Keep the Rolls-Royce videos coming please. Thank you Bob
Good honest vid, nice to see a vid that exposes the good the bad and the ugly. That's a gorgeous car looks like a luxurious tank. Just realize even if you buy one for a $100k you're still maintaining a $300k-$400k car. This reminds me of your Prevost RV vid, these ultra high end vehicles require ultra high end bank accounts, unless you're in the business/possess the knowledge and often proprietary tools to maintain them.
Bob youre rr phantom update is priceless!! you're ownership comments are 100% spot on!! keep them coming ! screw the jealous haters!!!!
Don't buy a Rolls-Royce Phantom? Good thing I saw this in my algorithm.
Another good video by Videobob. It's entertaining and funny as well. Thank you very much for the good job.
I been looking at buying a 2008 -2010 Phantom EWB. Your Pod is very informative for detailing the little things, $$$ needed and pros and cons regarding these great cars, really took all the information in .... Thank You.
Keep up the great work👍

Thanks for the ownership experiences you share!!
I loved this video. Your enthusiasm is infectious.
Yippie… finally a RR Phantom video from you again… 😄👍🏻
Made my evening 😆 Thank you 🙏
Brilliant Video. Straight forward facts presented superbly. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed every second! The only time I feel small in my extraordinary AMG S-Slass is while sitting beside a Phantom or a Continental Flying Spur.
Great advice Bob! Keepin it real as we like it!!
I’m shopping for either the ghost or cullinan. This video WAS 100% spot on. Thank you 🙏
The cheap route is usually the most expensive route in the long run. Cheap out on parts and you get to do the job twice and buy the parts twice.
An underrated guy
Love it! So ‘real’ happy to have found you…..I’m expecting delivery of my 1980 Shadow II next week 🥰
Bob, you fell into the rabbit hole called 'The Mug's Eyeful' , glad you ironed out the problems eventually
Great information and advice. Thank you!
Makes me glad that I'm a pickup guy. I have to get my Silverado fixed. The control panel is out. It's the cluster that's out.
My son's friends BMW IS Settling in my back as a decoration. It is beautiful but blow head gasket. It is crazy how they put this car together, plus every bolt needs a special tool, it seems. Not a poor boys car!
Great video and love the advice!
Remember the old adage: "A cheap Rolls Royce will be the most expensive car you'll ever buy!"
Its not a Ferrari,..... bur cheap (or not ) modern RR.. i avoid ! i prefere oldies RR
MAYBACH 57 / 62 IS GREAT TOO....
Very informative. Thank you
4:55+ Mr Moseley, KUDOS for your swagger. You make me want to get a Rolls-Royce. New fan enjoying your content. Thank you for the important messages.
Great videos !!!! Keep up the good work !!!
My uncle allergy had one, the plastics something with his gullet? He was incredibly sad when he had to sell it, you're lucky dude.
The best RR ...owner.... congratulations , regards from Athens Greece !
I'm no malaka!
Malaka ...only with the bills!
Thank you Bob been waiting for this video i think you are great and that is a beautiful car 🚗 well done you 😊
A couple years back, Bob was kind enough to test fit his Phantom I’m my garage. It fit, just barely. So I completed my purchase and have loved mine every day since.
Yes! Please keep up the phantom content!
Excellent super Honest review !!!
5:05 i agree. these cars are really pretty cars
Well done on this video, Bob! Thank you for it.))
Love the Rolls, seen every video since you bought it. You did a lot to it, but it's worth it. Jayman...
Thank you for this video and speaking the truth, well worth watching it.
Very good information
It's so cool to see the Phantom again and all the details about owning and maintaining one. Great video as always Mr. Moseley but most importantly shall I escort you to your Rolls my good sir?
Ahhhh this Phantom video is MUCH closer to the real Rolls ownership experience ive always read and heard about. Ask him how much the specially dampened Rolls motor mounts cost $$$$$$$$
Pax was on Honda minivans. And Michelin blew it badly, very french of them.
You are exactly right bob these cars are specialist built and built to last in my view no other car can come close and you can't and shouldn't run one on a shoestring budget
This is how so many could end up in disrepair because you couldn't afford or put cheap parts on it there is a vast difference in after market and the original parts this is why the car was designed and built in the first place for the people with special means never on the cheap and they need to understand that and to be fare generally do
You only have to go to the rolls Royce and Bentley owners club meet at Burghley house in the UK it's the largest gathering of the marque in the world worth a trip in June as I am going I find your content Very informative and honest keep up the good work stay safe
Beautiful vehicle Bob
Great video
The most elegant vehicle on earth
Bob; good solid vid today. Love hearing all about your Rolls! Love to own one but…….
Keep the shiny side up, Bob
Mike C
Thank you so much, that was fun.
Love the long videos!
Brilliant cars. I’ve taken mine on track which was a great laugh.
Love to see you have a red Phantom that matches your suspenders.
I habe a 2007 s65 that I bought cash for 20 with 80k for miles on it, ive sunk about 8 grand into it and another 1-2 grand bill is coming this week but she will be immaculate and running perfect then, that you for this video because I always think of. what to upgrade to later and Bentley always pops into my head, this video showed me that I better just stick to merch im not wealthy, thanks for the insight much appreciated
Great buddy, glad you made this video
THANK YOU BOB ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🥇🎯 ITS A REAL RESPONSIBILITY. ROLLS ROYCE OWNER.
Rolls-Royce EQUALS ROYALTY - NICE RIDE MR. Moseley
Love these videos,👍
You said it! That control arm issue was more than likely as a result of the low profile aftermarket wheels. Trust me, I used to see it numerous times when I used to work in the auto care field. Where a customer puts big ole 22 - 26' aftermarket wheels and low profile tires on their ride and a year later they need to replace parts on their suspension such as the control arm.
As a 23 year rolls and Bentley owner and someone that owned more than 2 dozens of them in those 23 years and many models, I can give any new owner a good advice. NEVER use anything aftermarket on these cars. In the end the whole issue will cost you double. Buy a used genuine but not a new aftermarket and if you know you’re going to keep the car for a while, stuck up on parts. Every time you see something that has a good price, buy it because prices on the parts keep going up.
Composite fenders, I didn't realize that. My '89 FWD Cadillac Fleetwood also has composite fenders. I had a Vogue tire tread seperate and destroyed the fender last year. It took me a while to find a new fender. This year it goes on and a total re-paint. Car Wizard had a Maserati not long ago that needed new converters. Something like $4K each I think. Cost to clean up a GM Duramax LML diesel Bosch CP4 pump failure... $10K to to $20K.
Yeah one of my car is a phantom VII EWB very loaded pretty much everything you can bespoke minus the partition.i bought it 7 years ago It's a wonderful car but it's not cheap to run. They can be very temperamental. I drive it and enjoy it but I must say I like being driven in it. Getting a good chauffeur for it is a must. I'd say you should try it out you'll see it's a nice change. I'm considering getting the current one also ewb when the economic crash happens to get a good deal. Cheers and enjoy your phantom it's a wonderful car.
Congrats, an EWB spec is my dream vehicle and I won't settle for anything else. Any ballpark what your yearly cost of maintenance is, and I am assuming you don't daily it?
Best video yet Bob.
The Pax was in a Honda Odyssey Touring Lol mine had that and I was SO confused when I got it
thanks for the great video
Your good honest man.
Grammar and spelling would be much more helpful for you.
I love the car Wheeezzard. poor hoovie. The car wizard is a rich man
Wait… what?
2018 was the mandate for rearview cameras. The British Pub in Vegas is Crown & Anchor.
Great info.
I always buy the best when it comes to fuel sytem and secondary ignition parts.
Sometimes you have to look at things like "if you dont have time to do it right the first time do you have time to do it right the second time" same applies to money.
That door chime is BMW too lol
Love the Phantom just cant afford to maintain one lol
Glad I seen this video, I was about to trade in my 2006 Fiesta Diesel for one, but the single figure urban mpg and the fact a fog light ring costs more than my car is worth it has to be a hard pass.
If I were you I'd spend money on grammar lessons
Nice video. had no idea what a special car the Phantom and the cost to maintain them correctly.
I agree with you 100%, it’s a Rolls Royce… it is the benchmark that other brands look up to .
34:04 - I must be getting old too because I like this car.
One look at guys on some other channels that cannot keep up with the lease payments on their 'super cars' makes this Roller look pretty Super to me.
Bob I have the same year color inside and out, also about the headliner it looks like paper towel material and sagging 😑🤓🤔🤷🏾♂️ but I love my car
The only facility that can maintain a Rolls Royce is the factory authorized dealer. The Rolls of the 70s and 80s had Cadillac Fleetwood transmissions and stereos and a host of other mechanical parts. These Phantoms are like small airplanes to maintain.
Almost forgot, I feel happy seeing u enjoy a RR!
I didn’t catch whp you said you used for bmw in Vegas but when I lived there southwest bimmers was a great shop. Used them for a handful of cars across the bmw range. Good value too (or were in 2015)
The car demands respect.
you are right in many ways. I have a Benz SL and a 560SEL, but when I drive my Silver Shadow is a completely different experience: Yes Sir, no Sir.
Yes you are right. Blessings Blessings.
At the beginning I was just fixated on the radiator fan moving in the grill
I was too lol 😂
Oh thats what that is
Of course you should put money on a ride like that - it’s a stunning car 🤙🏻 really beautiful
Best video on you tube! Love this guy!
Lol I never had a CD collection we were so poor we were using cassette tapes and then computers came around and I just started downloading off-line so I’ve never had CDs or CD changer except for recently. I’ve got a few Machine Gun Kelly albums over the years but I just bought those to have them for the listen to those tracks. I would go to the phone or computer
Good video
Boy I wish my 2010 Lincoln Town car had that camera in the front becauseI know when I drove out that Los Angeles I had a heck of a time trying to get out into traffic because of the long nose of the Town car that would have been handy to have that camera system because you do have a hard time pulling out into traffic when you have a long-nosed car LOL
The 70's Lincolns were the best!
I like long videos good information
They treat you like that because they know you are crazy to have one with all the money you have to put in it to own. So they are afraid to upset you. Mr. Moseley sir!
That was a great Video, Bob, love to see this Roller! Do you still have the (MCI?) bus motorhome? Really enjoyed your in depth video on that machine.
Did it come from Texas with you? Anyway, have a nice weekend and Greetings from Canada!
The bus was a Prevost and I think he sold it since he has the ambulance now.
Bob, you need to release more videos bro!
You are right the King of Kings
100% correct about the respect
Hi Bob I had it Rolls-Royce ghost the previous owner didn't want it you know what was wrong with you blew a head gasket so I replace the head gasket blow up and runs like a clock and he want it back so I say no way it runs like a dream it's rides on a on-air an excellent
What does the button look like for the star headliner ?
I didn’t realize how huge those cars are! Look at the size of the car compared to him!
The first gen Phantoms (especially ones between 2003-2005), apart from the engine and electronics, the leather and woodwork were FANTASTIC. It's really a pity the shitty drive train was paired to the excellent handiwork of Goodwood.
i was a valet in pittsburgh at the west inn hotel downtown for 6 years, from 19 to 25, tips were incredible, n yes, when one of these pull up we would literally fight who gets to take it n always got no less than a $20 tip on the way in n out n we always kept it upfront at the door. look up their luxury fish market restsurant its awesome. nobody tipped better than someone in a phantom. charlie batch the nfl player gave me $200 total in his brand new 07
I mentioned this in another video, that another cost of ownership is the expectation of tipping at least a $20 everywhere you go.
@@RobertMoseley yep n u better do it. Trust me. I've seen steelers coach Mike Tomlin get his new escalade a ton of neutral drops for not tipping n he's worth 25 million.
But if you're a regular or decent tipper, you're safe
@@MASS_ONE Honestly, I usually park myself in the garage and its fine, unless I HAVE to valet, but I never let anyone drive it, I park it myself and tip them and they are usually fine with it and are afraid to drive it anyway. I tell them that I am a dignitary and no one is allowed in the car and they believe it. lol
@@RobertMoseley lol. I'd believe it too. Along as I seen the green. You're good. I've driven everything except electric cars, well a prius.. but I'm 40 now. That was 15 years ago
:) good advice
