I am posting this in this thread as it may be appropriate.
Enjoy
History
Based on the Vehicle Identification Number, this classic Rolls Royce Silver Spirit was manufactured in 1980 at the Rolls Royce Crewe manufacturing plant England. The heart of this beast is a thirsty 6750cc V8 naturally aspirated carbureted engine with a three-speed automatic gearbox producing 198.5BHP at 3800RPM. (In those days, it probably passed everything ... except the gas station).
The vehicle was imported into Trinidad and Tobago from the world-renowned and most prestigious Jack Barclay Ltd. According to their website "Jack Barclay London, is the world’s oldest and largest Bentley Dealership. Established in 1927 and situated within Mayfair’s famous Berkeley Square London". Berkeley Square is located smack dab in the middle of Central London in the vicinity of Covent Gardens, Hyde Park and Knightsbridge.
This land yacht landed on the shores of Trinidad in early 1980, sourced by a prominent businessman who enjoyed the vehicle for several years before it was "dry docked" in a barn/warehouse for the last 10-15 years or so (I stand to be corrected) before it was sold/transferred.
The interesting part of this story is that the present owner fell in love with it back in the glory days when he was employed by the owner of the car, and he was the one who used to wash it! To me, this is very motivational as this guy came full circle to self actualize and achieve his goals and desires. In my opinion, this embodies our national watchwords: discipline, tolerance and production.
That being said, I was recommended to this client by a long-standing customer of mine, a person who I would consider a foundation trinituner. Upon meeting with the client, assessing the condition of the vehicle and understanding the customer's expectations, I accepted the job while feeling truly honoured to be chosen to assist this client in achieving his dream!
Below is a short video of some of the work done. I wish I could have documented the entire process but I still enjoy keeping some mystery
Enjoy and please feel free to leave a comment
