Aside: Hoovies Garage on YouTube taught me that keeping a old Rolls or Bentley in perfect working order costs literally tens of thousands of dollars a year in parts and maintenance - nothing stays ‘fixed’ for very long.

Someone should do a kit car with Toyota mechanicals and a Rolls style body!

Rolls is on a whole different level when it comes to fit and finish. The interior and ride quality is why they cost as much as an Italian sports car and weigh as much as an armored vehicle. Adding a bit of leather trim and brushed aluminium buttons doesn't get you into the same league.

It is funny that the old ones are so mechanically unreliable though, when you consider that Rolls also has a long history of making aircraft engines.
