    Iain. I used to own an identical car to this one. Mine was also a 1965 model in Ming Blue with Off White leather like this car. Incidentally that color combination matched the Earls Court Motor Show car (SEV111) and was popular and ordered by a number of customers. The Connolly code for the “Off White” leather is VM3543 (not VM3433 as mentioned in the video which is a different color). I miss the car terribly. It was my favorite 1960s Rolls-Royce. Outstanding car.

    Not only has Iain amassed an astonishing amount of knowledge over the years, but he has also formed a network of outstanding craftsmen in all disciplines. That is a priceless situation- you can see how he has forged a great relationship with Steve over several decades. I am lucky to have a few craftsmen on my team as well as vendors....however now many of them are retiring, or in the case of coachbuilders...deceased. You can't put a price on Iain's network! Another excellent and enjoyable video.
    Note how Steve has solemn reverence for his craft and the material and heritage of Connolly. Wish I had him near me! Cheers

    As a 20 year old car nerd, the technical information about the incredible classic leathers that were used which you simply can't buy today is genuinely so interesting. I'm amazed that there's no one still doing it the "non cost effective" way. Honestly this is making me want to get into leather working. "This is getting very technical, but that's what people ask for on the channel, so here we are." Honestly if you drop a series just on specifically leather in cars, and the history of all of that wonderful craftsmanship, I'm gonna watch every episode, it feels like such an incredible lost art.

  • @lindaoffenbach
    @lindaoffenbach 6 месяцев назад +31

    Stunning coach work. Absolutely phenomenal how exceptionally beautiful the design is, from a gone by era... Elegance was the norm at the time, so much in contrast of today's common crassness, tbh. The leather will certainly be in more than good hands at Steve's hearing and seeing him interactively and passionately touching and conversing. Thank you Iian and Steve for sharing the profound affection to the crafts 💓

Iain’s delivery, based as it is on an unbelievable level of knowledge, is captivating. What we learn about these wonderful vehicles and the attention to detail that goes into restoration is amazing.
    I always reference to friends the episode on Rolls Royce braking system - how an earth such a subject could be made to be interesting but Iain did so, in spades!!
    And this is all free to us viewers! The way forward is RUclips!!

    Good evening lain. Well this wound the clock back ! 50 years ago l was a senior apprentice panel beater at Torbays Jaguar main dealer and was the proud owner of a 1969 series 1 4.2 XJ6 . Well the interior was in very sound order but the seats really did need reconnollising . After giving them a deep clean with a reputable leather cleaner l gently rubbed them down with 500 wet and dry , masked out the vynal and sprayed them with the nitro cellulose paint . As l recall the paint was supplied by Connolly ........my goodness ! they looked so good ! I must say that white did look rather anemic . I'm sure Steve has the skills to present perfection ! As always , thankyou lain .

    Iain you are very patient, interested and respectful sharing the rejuvenation process which the viewer appreciates. Did this model RR appear in the 1960’s movie ‘Blow Up?’

    Yet another amazing video Iain on a gorgeous car. The twin headlight series 111 Rolls Royce and Bentleys are my favourite design. It was great to have Steve there, the Connolly expert to explain all about Connolly leather. Thanks again Iain for all the nerdy detail 😀😀😀

    Great video. This isn't nerdiness, this is skilled artisans passing on knowledge. This is what the internet is best at. I salute the knowledge of you, your team, the people you work with and am grateful for the time you put in to teach us this stuff. My friend just bought his 1st ever carburetored classic recently. He was having tickover/fuel mix problems & he was freaking out as the TUV test was due (I'm in Germany). Your vids, 2 feet of hose & a screwdriver have sorted that problem out. Took for its test on Friday, it passed and he was praised for how well the carbs & overall fuel/air mix were sorted. Ice cold beer or beverage of your choice waiting for you if you make it over to Berlin at any point. Have to admit, I'm not a huge Rolls Royce fan, but those Mulliner Park Ward Silver Clouds are something else, and that is a stunning example. RUclips must be finely tuned in to my nerd instincts tonight - just seen the next video in the playlist is the secrets of Pink Floyd's quad PA (something I'm honoured to have experienced)! Oh yes!
