1984 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit Start Up, Quick Tour, & Rev - 101K

[TheVoiceTalk]

Do you know we're I can find spare parts for this car we got ours in 1984 and it needs new window switches

[form109]

The Action of the Gear Shift lever seems flimsy.

[illyrianeyes]

@form109 Its actualy electric gear shift lever

[form109]

@illyrianeyes so the gear shift is more like a switch than an actual mechanical connection to the transmission?

[MrThestig8]

@kplatinum777 The British got snobby and Cadillacs got old.

[Benzfever]

Piece of junk

[gp1585]

What a clumsy cack handed twat!!

[rockerdriver]

Rolls Royce still had to learn a lesson from Cadillac back then on door and seatbelt chimes...

[wokeupthismorning100]

I hate that BEEEEP!!!! when you open the door.

[form109]

well i can see where the towncar got its inspiration from....very nice car.

love the sound of that V8 sounds like an american V8.....coloumn shifter is hilarious in lacking a shift lock....the fact it has one looks like it was obviouslly aimed intentionally at the american market.

[MrDavidruffin]

you are so fucking rough with it

[6589justin]

@MrDavidruffin

In like every video he does! I feel the same way!!

[MrDavidruffin]

@6589justin i know . i watched this video and slowly got pissed off

[JSneaker]

That buzzer is the epitome of CHEESE! ): I am quite shocked & dismayed.

[Jac2Mac]

@JSneaker What's even worse is that the 1984 Ford LTD Crown Victoria which was far less expensive than this Rolls-Royce used a chime for all three functions instead of the buzzer. Same thing applies to the 1984 Chevy Caprice Classic.

[JSneaker]

@Jac2Mac Yes Sir Mr. Jac, I love my 2008 Mercury Milan V6! It chimes! LOL

[MrFritzy1]

@Jac2Mac , The Lincoln Town Car, Mercury Grand Marquis and Ford Crown Victoria of this vintage rode just as well, was just as quiet, was more reliable and just as comfortable as the Rolls. They just didn't have the Rolls Royce name and real wood interior.

[hondaftw1234]

The freaking door chime pissed me off. For some reason, I would rather have an S class.

[tartanwallpaper]

Brilliant video - what an interesting car to film!

Isn't it the case that Rolls Royce don't publish performance figures...? The new Phantom has a "Power Reserve" gauge on the dash rather than a rev counter, which it far to vulgar to put in a Rolls LOL

[Intechdude300]

@tartanwallpaper

It was a pain in the ass finding HP spec, all I found was on conceptcarz

[Fred924]

I knew someone who had a 1980 RR Silver Spirit, I know the engines in these things are kinda problematic. Also on his, the "ice" light was always on. I'm guessing thats a traction control thing.

[crammage]

rather drive my subaru gl , no BUZZERS GOD DAM ANNOYING!

[Intechdude300]

@crammage

You can always find that buzzer & hook up a Door bell instead

[crammage]

@Intechdude300 yeah but my car has a dinger , very subtle and not loud or annoying

this thing

how can anybody stand to drive that thing you would be lucky to get 10 mpg on the highway!

this thing is worse than a 454 chevy dually

[newandused1998]

buzzer sound like Saab 900

[talldude123]

Nice car, specs suck though. 3-speed auto with such a large V8?? The interior is just....awesome....for something older than I am. 

[Intechdude300]

@talldude123

HP is low but the Torque I'm certain is there considering the engines size. It was tough for me to find specs for this engine. Only found 1 site stating the 220HP but couldnt find torque..... Car was in excellent shape & a definite collectable. What Amazes me is that Roll-Royce still makes this engine, much more modernized tho.

[talldude123]

@Intechdude300 Yes for a car of this price, it should come with an 8-speed automatic.

[Intechdude300]

@talldude123

I think if you would've mentioned that to the engineers & designers back in 1984, they would recommend you to visit an Assylum for a few months LOL...

[talldude123]

@Intechdude300 I'm saying nowadays in 2011. Haha back then the best they could do was probably 4-speed.

[abram7117]

@Intechdude300 accord to automotive magizine.com its 245HP and 398 lb-ft Torque. not bad for what it is I guess. Also its rated at 8 mpg city and 10 mpg highway with 9 mpg overall. Talk about a GAS GUZZLER thats worse then a HUMMER!

[carsaregood911]

Btw did anyone ever tell you that you sound like Michael Cera?

[Intechdude300]

@carsaregood911

Yes LMAO

[carsaregood911]

Great find!

[fanowner12]

Woah. Just. Woah.
