now this is cool!

1958 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud Derelict - Jay Leno's Garage - YouTube

 

Agreed! I like that they left it almost natural.

 

I think it's hilarious that Leno worked on and drove these as a teen, so he remembers just how 'floaty' and hard to steer, stop and generally keep going in a straight line they were.

 

I wonder if I could convince the president of ICON to 'Derelict' Babe, with the Cougar front end, SEFI, 4-wheel discs, 5- or 6-on-the-floor, yadda yadda.

 

I'm sure he would if you plunk down at least $250 grand cash on his desk (just to start).
Those hanging down tailhook-like flex brake hoses must have been installed by another California resident..Mr. M. Mouse.

 

You mean "blah, blah, blah"

 

I for one enjoy the Derelict cars that Icon makes. I LOVE the concept of taking modern power, handling and safety and wrapping it in a classic package. I'm not a big Rolls fan, but I like what they did with this one.
The patina craze is fine with me. I can appreciate a beautiful paint job, bit also enjoy stuff that hasn't been changed.

 

This '57 ist gorgeous:



Dropping in a Rolls V-8 wouldn't be the worst that could happen to it:

 

No, I mean "Yadda, yadda," as Jay Leno would say.

 

Here's a cult film starring a Rolls of that era:



A cult song, from that very film, for any Ry Cooder fans here. It's remastered in HD. Therefore, break out your headphones, for this one:

 

I thought you meant "blah, blah, blah" because that's what Icon hombre' kept saying.

Buuuut I see what ya mean.
