Hi everyone! I'm an American from the Northeast (New England). I want to create a watering hole for people who want to discuss, learn and teach about history through YouTube videos which you guys recommend to me through the comment section or over on Discord. Let's be respectful but, just as importantly, not be afraid to question any and everything about historical records in order to give us the most accurate representation of the history of our species and of our planet!

The video showed 4 models at the beginning with their base level prices, before any bespoke add-ons.

[IanDarley]

They said at the beginning that a no option Raith model is £450, 000, but nobody buys with no options.

[sbjchef]

It is like you are trying to find the base price of a Fabergé egg, A Rolls is commissioned like art not ordered from a catalogue with the optional heater and metallic paint

[cadifan]

You are completely missing the point of a Rolls Royce. Rolls Royce cars have no "base" model. They provide a super luxury hand built car with a bunch of standard appointments from a short list of body designs that you can add an endless list of customization to. Nobody buys a Rolls Royce just for transport, they buy a Rolls Royce to show people that they can afford to buy a Rolls Royce. If you're wanting a car for practical reasons looking in a RR dealership is the wrong place.

You're the man who is sitting in a 3 Michelin Star restaurant who wants McDonalds.

Throughout it's history Rolls-Royce has been famous for the quality and performance of their engines. Not just for cars but aircraft and ships too.

Iconic aircraft such as the Spitfire, Hurricane, Mosquito, Lancaster bomber, Harrier Jumpjet, Vulcan bomber, Concord, the Airbus 350 all had Rolls-Royce engines.

Bentley was owned by Rolls-Royce who bought them out in 1931 and for a long time they were nearly identical other than the badge.

Rolls-Royce and Bentley were acquired by BMW and VW respectively around the millenium.

Fun fact: The Watford Rolls-Royce factory became a film studio. Star Wars, Harry Potter and the Bond films were all made there.

For many years, Rolls Royce did not even quote engine power, simply stating that it was "adequate"

For a short while in 1961/63 I worked in the offices of H.J.Mulliner, Rolls-Royce and Bentley coachbuilders in Bedford Park, Chiswick, in London .
They were about the last old time coachbuilders in existence at that time and did only repairs and updating paintjobs etc to Mulliner cars whilst I was there.
Of course, the cars shown in this video were not what we saw, it was the traditional customer who just wanted a really good example of superior car without the fancy bells and whistles.
For a leaving present I was given a beautiful needlework box, superb paintwork, chrome hinges and lined with the best Rolls-Royce headlining, which I still have, albeit after all these years a bit worn.

Squirrel hair is very good, I use it for watercolour painting. Though kolinsky sable is better (for water colour) . Brushes have to hold the paint / water well, come to a point easily, have just the right stiffness/ vs springiness. Human hair continues to grow so has an abrupt cut end whilst animals have a set length so they have a finer tip. Its probably difficult to get consistent human hair as we tend to be so varied. This guy was prob using an oil based paint, with a long haired 'rigger' brush. It makes painting straight lines easier. They use them to paint the ships rigging in maritime art. I used to work at an old-school sign writers and some of their brushes were around £200-300 each.

Proudly I work for Rolls Royce, in defence, and although RR cars are not Rolls owned anymore its such an amazing brand and heritage.

[martinburke]

Connor are you just incapable of listening at the beginning of the video they told you what the BASE price of a Rolls Royce is without any of the add ons, and if you don't want a car with all the Rolls Royce touches the buy a bloody TOYOTA

[warrengday]

RR cars are also powerful and last for several decades.
At 100mph in a RR the loudest thing is the clock.

[Walesbornandbred]

They mentioned the price at the begining, about £314, 000.
If you listened to the videos you wouldn't need to ask so many questions.
Plus if you removed all the bespoke additions it wouldn't be a Rolls Royce.
Why are you watching this?
I dont think you get the point. The rich buy this to show they can afford quality, it's bespoke so they have a one off version. That is the point of a Rolls. I thought that was obvious.
If you want basic, buy American.

[sbjchef]

you can balance a coin on it's edge on the engine block, turn the engine on and the coin won't fall over

[andrewlaw]

You really don't understand why someone would buy a Rolls Royce do you! The whole idea is you get what you want, not what everyone else has. Just buy a Ford Focus and be done with it.

[markprendergast]

Mate it's crafted not built you need to understand there is no car like a rolls Royce the level of detailing in this car is immense

[Thenerdywalrus]

There is a lot of showing off with Rolls Royce but under all of that you have the smoothest V12 ever made, perfectly set up (for comfort at least) suspension, an automatic gearbox that anticipates corners and hill almost as well as an experianced manual driver would. Everything about them is set up to be smooth, quiet and effortless.
"Perfection is only just acceptable"

Around 30 years ago, I had the good fortune to experience travelling in a Rolls Royce. It was an absolutely fantastic journey; you feel like you're floating, . Sitting in the back seats you can't hear the engine, you don't feel the bumps as the wheels move over potholes and bumps.. if you ever get the opportunity to travel in a Rolls I guarantee you'll fall in love with the most fabulous car ever..

[bigoz]

Every car is different… one of a kind, that will always increase the value. Plus using the best materials in the process. Hand crafted also increases the price. They didn’t really go in to it in the video but the technology too is just better. And it makes a big difference to whether a man or machine makes a car.

[stewartdaniels]

Conor go to your local RR sales and just ask to sit in one & you will realise why they are so expensive, the hand crafted motor.
