An interesting rundown with engine out.

This is another Tavarish YouTube video with the engine out. He explains what's wrong. Okay figured out how to post video, see the next thread.😉

 

 

Great find 1eapplebaum! This guy likes to find rough challenges. The engine looks like it has not run for a long time because of his discovered wear and tear damage. One thing that is very noticeable is the car appears to have been driven heavily without maintenance. I call this a plus showing that the engine appeared to go many miles until it finally died. His continued Video will be interesting to follow the rebuild. It will be interesting to hear what his total investment and cost for repairs will be. Unfortunately if anyone follows a car auction site "Bring a Trailer" The Bentleys are taking a hit by selling very cheap. Too many are selling cheap with low mileage. It's sad to see this when the Bentley is such a great vehicle.

 

The 190sl Mercedes went through the same decline. Not that it's a great performer like the Bentley. Nonetheless today good examples are going for (+/-) $100,000.00. So if we live in to our hundreds we will see the same with the Bentley🤔.

Not only was the engine not maintained this is what happens when road salt corrodes the engine.

What I like about the video is he explains a lot of the issues that appear on the Forum. The bad MAF sensor pigtails, steering rack leaking, vacuum line failure, catalytic converter failure and surely more to come.

 

Ive seen this guys videos before & Im sure someone posted a video when he took this engine out of this car, you guys are right this car hasn't ran in a long time and has not been kept well maintained ...

 

Yea some guy named Hoovie (Hoovie’s Garage) had it first. Explained that it was from Russia and how the miles were dialed back and the whole story behind it then this guy bought it from him.

 

Well TeamJones he's got a lot of work to do & a lot of dollars to spend before this car ever sees the light of day ..

 

Surely based on YouTube income and sponsorships is the motivation to do this project. Tavarish paid $11,000 for the car. We know buying an early model Bentley with known history is cheaper.

Tyler Hoover who bought the car originally for $29,000 got over his head quickly. His discovery of the car having spent time in Russia, was interesting. I found several early model Bentley GT's that Carfax showed exported from USA to countries that border Russia. Eventually these cars came back to USA???🤔.

 

Mr !eapplebaum Sir you are correct in saying they end up in the USA, you guys love Bentleys & from this forum you love working on them, its not the same here in the UK, yes there are a few of us but not like you guys ...

 

My uncle who is deceased, from Kent England attended a car show in the US with me when I young. His comment to my mother was "Americans enjoy polishing their genitalia". Glad to hear there are car enthusiasts in England. By the way your black beauty is sharp.

Seems that times are changing in the US. There are young enthusiasts, however not like the baby boom generation. Friends still in the vintage and exotic automobile enterprise in the US see the future market softening. The younger generation isn't as interested in automobile ownership. My bet is there will be a global shift of interest in vintage and exotic automobile ownership.

Glad and excited to see young people using social media to sow the seeds of the car Hobby.

 

Good Morning Sir ... Maybe they are changing but I also believe we are the last of the car enthusiast the way we get our hands dirty, In the UK there is a large classic car following but again thats declining, the young generation I doubt very much if they want to even wash a car ...
Thank you she is a beauty, only down side is people think Im some sort of ex footballer or in the movies or I get a lot of questions asked, the one they all ask "hey mate where's your registration plate from the front"
Ice T has one its in like a ruby red, I show a video on youtube, I'll try & find it ... Right better get up off this bed in the shower & off to lunch with my 2 brothers ...

 

When I was a teenager growing up in the US, in the late sixties I recall I couldn't wait until I was sixteen so I could finally get my driver's license. For a young person then, the primary means of communication and connection with the World was physical mobility. A car, or the ability to be mobile was top priority. Falling in love with cars was a logical next step for me and so many other kids.

Today's teenager makes that connection via multi media and Iphones and at a much earlier age than 16. Cars and driving along with the need to make a physical connection is relegated to a lower priority level to today's young person. No judgment call here, just what it is.

Funny, but this same topic comes up periodically on every other car forum in which I am a member. Probably the worst (or best based on perspective) is the huge Corvette forum where MOST of the members are in their 60s, 70s, even 80s. That huge demographic alone reflects the impression made on the typical teenaged "Baby Boomer" some of whom waited all their lives to finally own their childhood dream car. They're now living their dream....

 

Good Morning Steve Sir, I couldn't agree with you more, Teenagers are not like we were or are they seem to confined themselves in there bedroom or there heads in a mobile phone, I find it so funny when walking down a street & one finds you have to dodge the ones who have there phones in there face & just walk everyone else has to avoid a collision. As you growing up in a small village in Yorkshire I taught myself how to drive at the age of 13 while washing my Dads car on a Sunday, we lived on a private road so it was fine, my first car was a Ford Anglia 1967, in two tone light green ...
I used to drive it to school & park it in the side streets but I wasn't one to speed all over the place just drove as normal as everyone else, but those days were different, when my dad found out he didn't say a thing to me but let me drive on the motorway when ever I was with him, but at 16 got my license & the world opened up ... We all have a story such is life some good some not but we live our lives & thank the Lord for what we have ...
