Autoalex's bargain Rolls-Royce comes with lambswool and oil leaks
An ex-wedding Phantom gets a specialist inspection as daily viewing across Autoalex Cars climbs to more than five times its usual pace.
Why this story? The whole channel is running at 823,746 views a day, 5.6 times a normal day (147,871).
Lambswool rugs and power-closing rear doors are lovely things to inherit from a used car. Oil leaks and warning lights are less welcome, but Autoalex's latest purchase supplies both sides of the Rolls-Royce experience.
The 2006 Phantom is an ex-wedding car with more than 209,000 miles behind it. Alex describes it as one of the cheapest Phantoms in the UK, bought for a fraction of its original price. That buys picnic tables and a substantial V12, along with bubbling chrome and a worn interior. The luxury hasn't disappeared; it just comes with a repair list.
The purchase accompanies a sharp jump in viewing across Autoalex Cars, which is drawing roughly 824,000 views a day, more than five times its usual pace. The Phantom upload has already attracted a substantial audience since arriving on Thursday, while the abandoned Ferrari rescue we reported here has passed a million views.
Rather than leave the Rolls as a driveway curiosity, Alex takes it for a drive with the Top Dead Center lads. Then comes the less glamorous appointment: Oscar at RR&B, a Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist near Birmingham, inspects it and prices the repairs using genuine Rolls-Royce parts.
For a channel whose own description promises automotive adventures and financial mistakes, that parts quotation is a particularly relevant test of the word "bargain."
