    My Grandpa drove the Rolls all the way from North Devon to Newbury and back in 2012 to take me to the church on my wedding day ❤
    Thank you so much for everything and especially for visiting my Grandpa in the hospice, I really thought we had some more time left with him, cancer is such a terrible disease 😔

    Hello James, what a good video (as they all ways are!) and well done for having had a good "sales day" especially with the Rolls Royce - the family will be pleased that you have sold it for them! The journey in the little car was entertaining and quite fun!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire.

    Think you did well with the Rolls as retail sale may have involved endless comebacks and to sell at specialist auction houses you have a chunk of commission
    Thinking about the Rolls former keeper Adrian got me thinking how short life is & how good it is to do something you enjoy in your case spending time with & trading cars as opposed to spending your life in a job you hate but stay as you have a mortgage, you are a lucky fella James

    Ignition leads fail with age on the RR and can cause misfires (they can make a spectacular light show if you check them in the dark 😂. Not too hard to replace. If the brakes survive 10-15 pumps, they are still good enough.... More important that they have only had RR specific fluid in them...

All quite clearly stated on the gov.uk website. A guy in my road was driving one like Chops had on L plates with no supervision and he found out the consequences. Driving without appropriate licence , driving unsupervised and driving without insurance!
