My dad built that engine at Crewe. His name was John Jones, he was the only J Jones at Crewe who was building engines at that time. Wow, just saw my dads handiwork.
That's awesome! And he did a great job, 20 years old and it's running great without any leaks. Do you ever see a Bentley and wonder if it's one of his motors in it?
The Bentley's of this era, along with the RR's use an air over hydraulic brake and suspension system. The brake lite flashes for about 45 sec until the air pressure builds up (around 2500psi).
Yeah, they're both built on Ford's Panther Platform... and their exterior dimensions aren't that different: Crown Vic: Length: 211 inches Width: 77.5 inches Wheelbase: 114.3 inches Town Car: Length: 219 inches Width: 78.1 inches Wheelbase: 117.3 in The town car is only 8 inches longer, 0.6 inches wider, and has 3 more inches in between the wheels.
@@theranter As a long-time passenger in both, I can tell you that extra room went a long way. The Crown Vic was fine but the Town Car was a rolling living room.
I have a 97 Azure. Yes all the roofs drop that hard. It's absolutely crazy. I think the problem was Pininfarina (who built the roof for Bentley) actually modelled the roof off a Mercedes R129 500SL. Even 10 of the actuators that control pushing hydraulic fluid in the Bentley are actually Mercedes R129 actuators. But my guess is that the extra weight of the Bentley roof has meant the mercedes design was somewhat overwhelmed.....which is why it crashed down. Its terrible for a car that was probably one of the most expensive production cars of the time. Symptomatic of thin R&D and testing budgets of low volume manufacturers. Sometimes they get it wrong.....and this top is wrong. Mind you, I owned a R129 Mercedes and I always felt that roof was a bit loud, but nowhere near as loud as the Bentley when it crashes down. I always use my hand to break its fall and reduce the speed it comes down. Aaaah the joys of rare cars
I know he's just kidding and all but that was pretty tacky. I know one thing, if a friend needed me to fix something of their's and I did that a) I wouldn't get the job and b) I would lose a friend.
I bought a 1989 Crown Victoria LTD LX for $2750 around 4 years ago. Low miles (~26,000, I think) like the Wizard's, and everything worked. Ended up selling it because the transmission was not a fan of the steep grades in rural Vermont. But man was it comfortable. Good find Wizard!
To the layman, yes. But the layman rarely understands these kinds of cars! Plus he showed the biggest bills over its lifetime on a 400k handbuilt car with custom parts!! What this shows above all is if these cars are well cared for and serviced properly and regularly - they last fine.
I shouldn't imagine anyone who can spend hundreds of thousands on a car would be too worried by $7000 bills. As for watches, I just bought a brand new metal 'generic copy' of the classic Casio F91W online, for under $5 including delivery, and am very pleased with it. Which gives you some idea of how much I like to spend on things.

Hoovies fleet of cars has come so far since I started watching this channel. Makes me wonder wtf I’ve done with my life in the time Hoovies gone from buckets to Bentlys
This and Hunting Harleys are easily my two favorite channels on TH-cam. Hoovie has inspired me to take the plunge and buy an interesting and cheap car. So I did. An 03 C230 Kompressor. Perhaps the first of many. If I am going to drive cheap cars they might as well be nice cars. I don't have a Wizard or a Ninja as I do most if not all of my own work (soon starting a timing chain replacement on my high miles Tiguan).
Nice Grand Marquise. My parents had an 84 red 2 door 302 with factory dual exhaust. Super nice car with plush cushy seats and a ride that made you think you were floating on air
@@roarkprofabperformance464 while those are close, they aren't the same thing at all. Nothing is sold today with the big sofa seats. I once drove out west with my parents (long story) and my dad had a 1984 (ish) Delta 88 regency. We had to rush due to family matters and for once, my dad relinquished the wheel to get some rest in the massive back seat. I took over. Started chatting with my mother and before I knew it, 6 hrs passed and I was so comfortable I didn't even notice. Usually my ass gets numb after 2 hours and I get out stiff as a board. I set the cruise at 110 kph and it just purred along never kicking down to go up hills. You could steer with one finger since the power steering was SO boosted. They do NOT make vehicles like that anymore, nothing even comes close to be honest. Now with that being said, the engine would literally run forever and was easy to maintain, but it had pitiful hp for the size and didn't get that great fuel econ either. But it would run. I bet the car is long since dead but the engine would still be running today if properly maintained.
You guys are so entertaining, lovin the content. Because I'm so boring, I've done the maths, that's $198 per roof open and close cycle, use sparingly! 😜
YO Wizard, if your serious about buying a good watch, look at the 2nd hand market as you can save a good bit if you buy them used. Many of the aftermarket used places will sell you a warranty if you worried about it lasting also.Watches like cars need serviced from time to time, so keep that in mind also.
That is my new favorite shade of blue. Gonna find a wrap in that color for my car. Very cool car! Flip it with Doug's site, and you should make a mint, especially if you confirm JCVD owned it.
and the next wizard boat payment are set , add the cost of fixing the roof and rebuilding the roof tensioners / restore so they don’t pop out when closing (probably the reason so many other bills have appeared getting severed when the boot lid drops down with a scissor action) looks like that engine overhaul and upgrade of the boat engines are set for the winter already
hah i can see why he likes these kinds of cars but your right the market isnt right for them anymore people would most def not be lining up for a car like this in the 30k range
The man has a point, we live in a crazy world where 'normal' people will mock someone for driving a sedan or station wagon because they think they're boring, but somehow think crossovers and SUV's are cool. If only people could pull their heads out of their arses long enough to buy a car.
You and the wizard make a great combo. Up until I saw his new boat, and his watch search I felt that you were taking advantage of him..........now I’m thinking he’s got yo7 by the “Brake Lines”. I’m happy for both f you successes.
That Bentley is a fine car, Hoovie. Just a thought from an old(er) man in London; have you ever thought (a) of looking for a car, and then (b) BEFORE YOU BUY IT, take the Wizard with you for a grown-up opinion of the vehicle BEFORE you purchase it ?? In fact, Mrs Wizard or even Mrs Hoovie would probably pick you better cars and get you a much better deal !!!!!!!!!!! I'd offer the Bentley to The Wizard before work commences as it nearly matches his Yacht !!!!!! And he can clearly afford it, as you probably paid for most. if not all of it !!!! Still love these video's; Live Long and Prosper, and Stay Safe too.
The whole premise of the channel though is him buying cars that he should have inspected before buying but doesn't. Doing what you suggested would negate the channel lol.
@@muskokamike127 I know Mike; this is English "humour" for you, But I think that the car would suit Mr and Mrs Wizard; it's too good to be wrecked by USA's own Jeremy Clarkson !!!
I love my 92 cutlass ciara s. Its comfy, it drives smooth. Does 0 to 60 in 9 seconds. Which isn't great, but for stock its pretty good. I just wish i could do more than just maintain it and fix all its little flaws its gotten over the years. I really wish i could get a real seat belt too. You'd have to see the seat belt to understand it. Still love it tho.
I know right? YOu can get a 200 watt Rockford fosgate for $250 cdn. As for the alpine unit, I have a suspicion that that might have been from the factory. I know alpine was contracted to put a LOT of head units in a LOT of OEM cars.
@@muskokamike127 no way they would put the thing this ugly from the factory. In this interior it looks like if someone did put on a brioni suit and then matched it with adidas sneakers.
TOP TIP TO WIZARD & HOOVIE !! You really need to start looking into Citroën stuff if you are going to tinker with that RR/Bentley stuff. Green oil means LHM=Citroën based system. Let me give you one example. A Citroën XM from the same age is common to leaky hydraulic pump if the customer hasn´t maintaned it properly. The part needed in that case is two O-rings that cost about two dollars! And to keep it from happening again, it´s needed to test and or fill/replace those accumulators. Regarding accumulators, I pay around 40 bucks for them. I cannot say that the same parts will work for the English stuff, never worked with them. But they licensed the whole system from Citroën and the accumulators/spheres hasn´t changed alot since 1954! Although, I´ve never worked on RR/Bentley, I am pretty sure that you would probably do just as good with a pump from Citroën XM. With the price difference you can probably let Rolex build you some brackets to make it fit. The function has to be the same. Prove me wrong and I design you a custom system with 100% Citroën parts that do everything exactly the same.
Correction** this Guy (Hoovie) is such a legend! Its a constant evolution from Bangers to Epic cars then back to Bangers and everything in between thats why we love it!! Moral is everyone needs a wizard to keep the wheels rolling 😁
4:45 'american land yacht.. just can't buy'em anymore'.. Especially right up til the tailend of 1980s, really miss how tough and brute some of these were. You were able to obtain heft and size without leaning into the high luxury segment. Many were body on frame V8s, which practically have the bones of modern era big3 pickups. Today- people only have the option to grab a 2500 or 3500 1/2 or 3/4T truck although you do get fancier drivetrain choices now. Think if there is ever an equivalent to a 2021 Grand Marquis it would be something like a Ford Expedition max- and probably share a similar wheelbase!
Wizard is a f🧠cking genius. That man is amazing. I love how he wrings his hands about the extra money he is going to make on the time to work on the Azure. 🤣
I don’t think you get a lot of viewers from India or even comments, but I try to watch each and every one of your video. And for the first time, this looks like a good buy
we used to have a 300ce with a fuel distributor valve thingy on top just like the one in this car. Unfortunately gave it away to salvage yard because we couldnt fix it beyond that issue. Didnt even know if it was a relay or what, just gave up on it.
love the painting on the office wall. cool video as per usual, would be nice if hoovie showed up with more older cars like the marquis than bentleys ect
The Azure needs brake spheres replacement. Do a pump down test to check pressures. Start engine and run for a couple of minutes. Turn of engine but leave ignition on. Pump brake pedal and count number of pumps before warning lights come on. Less than ten, spheres must be replaced. Worth doing rear suspension spheres at the same time. A straight forward job and not overly expensive. Checking AC servos with engine off is pointless. Car needs to running and up to temp
Fun fact ...you have the best damn car channel on TH-cam. Hands down. The best. Can I have your autograph? I bet your just an all around good dude in real life
I think my 2008 Toyota Tundra is the very same shade of blue. That's a beautiful color! And hey, I paid 25K for it too! Although, my ac blows cold all the time but my damn TPS flashes at me constantly and I just learned to ignore it after they replaced the entire system....twice. The tires look to be inflated to the correct pressure. Sorry that I'm not a huge fan of Bentley's nor off Jean Claude Van Damn, but still, that's a pretty car. And those bucket seats and console would look amazing in the front seat of my Tundra. Those are fucking awesome!
My dad built that engine at Crewe. His name was John Jones, he was the only J Jones at Crewe who was building engines at that time. Wow, just saw my dads handiwork.
So I doubt there’s a chance you can pick up parts from one of these at an oreilys?
That's amazing!
This is one of the cool things about TH-cam. I appreciate a guy that assembles an entire engine and then puts his name on it.
It should be built well. Looks like he took pride in his work.
That's awesome! And he did a great job, 20 years old and it's running great without any leaks. Do you ever see a Bentley and wonder if it's one of his motors in it?

Correction** this Guy (Hoovie) is such a legend! Its a constant evolution from Bangers to Epic cars then back to Bangers and everything in between thats why we love it!! Moral is everyone needs a wizard to keep the wheels rolling 😁
I'd totally forgotten about the Volvo truck commercial. Nice job.
"Wizard shopping for expensive stuff that he'll buy after he makes a ton of money off of Hoovie's mistake" never gets old :)
4:45 'american land yacht.. just can't buy'em anymore'.. Especially right up til the tailend of 1980s, really miss how tough and brute some of these were. You were able to obtain heft and size without leaning into the high luxury segment. Many were body on frame V8s, which practically have the bones of modern era big3 pickups. Today- people only have the option to grab a 2500 or 3500 1/2 or 3/4T truck although you do get fancier drivetrain choices now.
Think if there is ever an equivalent to a 2021 Grand Marquis it would be something like a Ford Expedition max- and probably share a similar wheelbase!
Tyler is a genuinely funny guy I wish we were friends this guy cracks me up
Lmao i forgot about that Volvo commercial. Great reference hoovie
1:33 Wizard: it looks like a yacht in there
(and probably repairing it will largely help you upgrade yours...)
Wizard is a f🧠cking genius. That man is amazing. I love how he wrings his hands about the extra money he is going to make on the time to work on the Azure. 🤣
I don’t think you get a lot of viewers from India or even comments, but I try to watch each and every one of your video. And for the first time, this looks like a good buy
That blue color is stunning, even in the garage. I want to see it in the sun. And I bet it looks good at night under the lights
we used to have a 300ce with a fuel distributor valve thingy on top just like the one in this car. Unfortunately gave it away to salvage yard because we couldnt fix it beyond that issue. Didnt even know if it was a relay or what, just gave up on it.
“I always thought you were joking until I saw your yacht last week” - my same thoughts. Way to go wizard!
love the painting on the office wall. cool video as per usual, would be nice if hoovie showed up with more older cars like the marquis than bentleys ect
I'm digging on the beige Grand Marquis LS in the background.
Check car wizards channel. He made a video with it yesterday
@@wmahmoo sweet! These were great cars during the 80's with the PFI 302 and 4AOD transmission about bullet proof
The Wizard has become such an important part of this channel honestly, it wouldn"t feel like hoovies without the Wizard, hope he stays around
I’m actually enjoying the Wizard’s channel more.....it’s more down to the earth and relatable
Nice land yacht Hoovie well worth the 30k investment 👍
The Azure needs brake spheres replacement. Do a pump down test to check pressures. Start engine and run for a couple of minutes. Turn of engine but leave ignition on. Pump brake pedal and count number of pumps before warning lights come on. Less than ten, spheres must be replaced. Worth doing rear suspension spheres at the same time. A straight forward job and not overly expensive. Checking AC servos with engine off is pointless. Car needs to running and up to temp
That oxford blue color is stunning.
What’s the wrapped up car?
Hoovie is the only guy that tells you just how comfortable a cars seats are.
LoL the wizard won't stop with the boat references.
Fun fact ...you have the best damn car channel on TH-cam. Hands down. The best. Can I have your autograph? I bet your just an all around good dude in real life
ground on the CIS system control pres reg causes issues on warming up too..
I think my 2008 Toyota Tundra is the very same shade of blue. That's a beautiful color! And hey, I paid 25K for it too! Although, my ac blows cold all the time but my damn TPS flashes at me constantly and I just learned to ignore it after they replaced the entire system....twice. The tires look to be inflated to the correct pressure. Sorry that I'm not a huge fan of Bentley's nor off Jean Claude Van Damn, but still, that's a pretty car. And those bucket seats and console would look amazing in the front seat of my Tundra. Those are fucking awesome!
I got to say, that blue color looks really good. I can only imagine how it looks in person.
