Dumping oil on the ground is actually fairly luxurious. Not everyone can afford to just throw money away like that.

I like what James May said about buying an old Bentley: "Don't."

If there is oil under it, then there is oil in it. Good to go.

Every time he says “ oh no..”. That’s $1000 dollars.

Nothing worse than hearing your mechanic say... “OH NO!” It’s giving me ptsd

When the mechanic says “oh no” is everyone’s worse nightmare but the mechanics wet dream!

How to fix your broken classic car for free? Sell it to Hoovies, and then buy it again.

$5000 on a stately conveyance for a gentleman of means seems most reasonable.

1990 Turbo R owner here. Glad to see our cars getting some attention from Hoovie! I suspect that the Wizard and Hoovie are being a bit dramatic here with the final scene. I suspect they both know this, but the windows probably just need the little $5 plastic coupling and some grease, maybe 1 hour labour each max, which the Wizard alluded to when looking at it. Also the distribution valves are supposed to leak a bit, so seeing green fluid when you take off the 'rat trap' is expected. They would need to be replaced if they are leaking excessively. The brake pumps might just need O-rings but it's not bad to replace them with rebuilt ones. I'd just fix the brake pump leaks and then see how the distribution valves are doing. But ya, that steering rack DEFINITELY needs to go. Overall. they are beautiful cars, I just love mine.

What you call "making mistakes" I call "interesting content".

When your mechanic spends all his words on "Ohhh in a broken, defeated voice, you know things are about to get real with the estimate.

If he bought a “nice” low mileage one it would still need work done... I think he did quite well really.

I agree with wizard: I’d still rather have the Turbo R.

I owned a 1994 Bentley Turbo RL whose previous owner was Larry Flynt. I bought it in 2004with 45, 000 miles. It had been serviced since new by the estimable Vantage Motor Works in Miami. It was magnificent to look at and drove very well. Initially, I loved it, however it didn’t love me! It plagued me with issues. It constantly overheated, for example. I put in a OEM radiator and even that did not solve the cooling problems. Once, parked in front of The Breaker’s waiting for valet it refused to come out of Park and had to be towed. Ignominious! The rear suspension was next to need repair. Brake rotors in front warped. Check engine light was constantly going on for seemingly no reason. Finally, the differential grenaded one day whilst turning around in a parking lot! Many of these constant incessant problems were fixed under a warranty by Vantage, but I was still out of pocket around $10k after 2 years of ownership!
Amusingly enough I could never get a speeding ticket in that car even though I normally drove it 85 mph. I was stopped 8 times in 3 years and every time was able to talk my way out of a ticket. I’ve owned many exotic cars in my long life and none of them affected police in such a favorable way! After the differential broke I decided to sell it. I entered it in a Miami Kruse auction. The venue was the American Airlines Convention Center and as amazing good luck would have it there was an annual XXX video convention next door. When those pornographers learned that Larry Flynt’s car was being sold next door, they stampeded over to bid on it! I sold it for more than I’d paid for it.

It’s broken because he wasted a perfectly glass jar of Grey Poupon.
