Hoʻāʻo ʻia ʻo Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn: Little Lord

Pehea ʻo Rolls-Royce e wehewehe ai i ka manaʻo o ke kaʻa kuʻikahi

Hoʻolālā ʻia ka Rolls-Royce i hoʻokumu ʻia ma ke ʻano he kaʻa hoʻokele nona no ka mākeke US. ʻAʻole i holo ka hoʻolālā, a ua hana kona māhoe. Ua kūʻai aku ka Bentley R iā ia. I kēia lā, ʻo ka Silver Dawn kahi mea ʻono a pane ʻole me nā pono āpau o kahi brand kaulana.

Ma muli o kona ʻano leʻaleʻa, ua like ʻo ia me kahi kaʻa maʻamau no ka hoʻolauleʻa male. ʻO ka mea wale nō i nalowale, ʻo ia ka puʻupuʻu ma ka uhi mua ma hope o kahi kiʻi nani ma luna o ka radiator, me he mea lā e ʻaʻahu ana ʻo ia i ka lole mare. Akā ua hoʻohiki ʻo Silver Dawn ma mua o kahi kuʻikahi ola. ʻO ka limousine Rolls-Royce nani me he mea lā ua kūkulu ʻia a mau loa. Paʻa nā puka kaumaha me ka leo mānoanoa o kahi waihona panakō, ʻo ka ʻenekini ʻeono-cylinder hoʻoneʻe kiʻekiʻe e hāwanawana me ka mālie a me ka hilinaʻi ʻole i nā rev haʻahaʻa. ʻO nā mea waiwai - inā he lāʻau makamae paha, ka ʻili Connolly a i ʻole ka chrome alpaca pantheon grille - ʻaʻole maikaʻi wale nō ke nānā aku, akā paʻa loa. No kahi kaʻa home me ka inoa poetic Silver Dawn, ʻaʻole hiki koke mai ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka mea koʻikoʻi koʻikoʻi no ka lōʻihi kaulana loa o nā hiʻohiʻona Rolls-Royce (a hiki i ka puka ʻana o ka Silver Shadow i 1965) ʻo ia ke kākoʻo kākoʻo i hana ʻia me nā ʻaoʻao paʻa paʻa me nā lālā keʻa kūpaʻa. ʻAʻohe mana o ka ʻōpala i kēia kua. A hiki i ka hiki ʻana mai o ka Silver Dawn i ka makahiki 1949, ua hoʻohana ʻo Rolls-Royce i ka hoʻolako ʻana i nā chassis piha me ka ʻenekini, ka pahu pahu a me nā axles i nā mea hoʻokele kaʻa Pelekane kaulana me nā inoa nui e like me Freestone & Webb, J. Gurney Nutting, Park Ward, Hooper. a i ʻole HJ Mulliner e ʻaʻahu iā ia i ke kino. Kuhi ʻia i nā mea kūʻai waiwai ʻAmelika a ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma ka £ 14, pono ka Silver Dawn e hana me kahi kino hana nani. Ua ʻono ʻo ia e like me ke ʻano ma mua o ke kaua a ua hoʻoikaika ʻia e ka hale hana 000 Bentley Mark VI. Aia kekahi pilikia huna o ka kuhi hewa ʻana no kahi sedan Alvis ʻekolu lita a i ʻole Armstrong Siddeley 1946 - ke ʻole he radiator nani. hookiekie ikaika i kona lae i ka makani.

Ma hope o kekahi hana maʻamau Rolls-Royce, i ka hopena o 1952 ua loaʻa i ka Silver Dawn kahi hoʻolālā like me ka Bentley. Ua hoʻomaka mua ʻo R-Type me ka mea i kapa ʻia. ʻO "Long Boot", i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma mua, ua lawe koke ʻia e Silver Dawn.

Kaohi hoʻomaʻemaʻe

ʻO ka hālāwai me kā mākou "Short Tail" e mālama ʻia ma ka Hale Aliʻi ʻo Hohenkammer ma ka moku Freising. Ma ke ʻano he backdrop no kahi kiʻi paʻi, kūpono ka wahi no Silver Dawn. E like me ke kaʻa nani ʻo Midnight Blue, ʻo kona hoʻolālā e hōʻike ana i ka hanohano hanohano me ka nānā ʻole ʻana i ka feudal. Hoʻokokoke mālie nā Rolls liʻiliʻi me ka ʻūlū iki, ʻo ka leo nui loa i hana ʻia ʻo ia ke kani ʻana o ka ʻiliʻili maikaʻi ma lalo o nā huila super-balloon bias-ply.

ʻO ke kaʻa e kokoke ana e haʻalele i ka manaʻolana o ke ola mau loa. ʻO ka mea hoihoi i ke kaʻa uila Siegfried Amberger i loaʻa a loaʻa ʻole iā ia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kahi mokuʻāina i haʻalele ʻole ʻia. A ma muli o kona minamina i ka haku liʻiliʻi, ua hana ia i kahi hoihoi hapa nui i hana i ka nani o Argentina ma mua o ka wā mai ka hale hana ma Crewe. ʻO nā kikoʻī e like me nā kaha lima lima ma ka ʻili lacquered e hōʻike ai i kēia.

Hele mākou a puni ke kaʻa, piha i ka mahalo, a laila wehe ʻia ka "puka pepehi kanaka" ma ka hema. I ka manawa a mākou e noʻonoʻo ai, ke noho nei mākou i ka Silver Dawn no ka manawa mua ma hope o ka huila nui a pololei o ke kaʻa. ʻO ka ʻenekini hoʻoneʻe ʻeono pahu me ka hoʻokomo ʻana i luna a me nā kiwi hoʻopau kū (i kapa ʻia ʻo "ioe" ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania, "intake over exhaust") ua mahana a ʻoluʻolu ma lalo o ka paepae o ka ʻike lohe. "Mai hoʻā hou," ʻo ia ka ʻōlelo aʻo mai kahi aʻe. Hoʻololi koke mākou i ke kaʻa mua me ka lever paʻa ma ka huila. I ka uwē o nā cogs pololei o ka hoʻouna ʻana, hoʻomaka ka neʻe ʻana o ka hale nani. Ua maopopo ʻaʻole i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka mea hana mua a lawelawe wale nō e hoʻomaka, no laila hele koke mākou i ka lua. I kēia manawa ua ʻoi aku ka mālie, a laila ʻoluʻolu iki, e like me ko mākou manaʻo kumuhana, neʻe mākou i ke kolu a hope i ka hā.

Hoʻokomo waena ma kahi o rev

He mea kupaianaha wale nō ka mālama ʻana o ke kī waena i kahi ʻenekini ultra-long-stroke. Hōʻike ʻia kēia ʻāpana ʻaʻole i ka wikiwiki, akā i ka torque nui. ʻOi aku ka ikaika o ka wikiwiki - ʻekolu manawa ʻoi aku ka mana o Rolls ma mua o kahi Mercedes 170 S o nā makahiki like. Hōʻike ka nila speedometer i 80, ma hope iki o 110. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻohe tachometer, akā ʻo nā mea kani nani me nā helu keʻokeʻo ma kahi ʻeleʻele e hāʻawi i ka ʻike piha e pili ana i ke kaomi ʻaila, ka mahana o ka wai a me ka wahie i loaʻa. I kēia lā wela o ke kauwela, aia nā mea a pau i ka ʻāina ʻōmaʻomaʻo, kahi a mākou e hauʻoli ai me ka hāmama o ka sunroof. Eia naʻe, kaumaha loa ka puʻupuʻu a ʻaʻole maʻalahi ka hahai ʻana i nā alanui wili a puni ʻo Hohenkammer me ka hoʻokele pololei ʻole. ʻAʻole hōʻike nui ka Silver Dawn i ka makemake e komo i nā kihi, no laila pono ke hoʻokele me ka lima paʻa e hahai pono i kona makemake, a pono e hoʻohuli ʻia ka huila ma kahi kihi nui.

I loko nō o kēia mau mea āpau, ʻaʻole kūloko ke kakaka i loko o kahi kīʻaha kikino; ma hope o 20 km, nalo ka manaʻo mua o ka rigidity nui loa. Inā ʻoe e kalaiwa hou aku a mahalo i kēia kaʻa kahiko kahiko i emi iki, e ʻaneʻane ʻoe e like me kahi dynamics. Ma aneʻi, hōʻike ʻo Silver Dawn iā ia iho me he kumu hoʻohālikelike a ka ʻona nona e ʻoluʻolu ai iā ʻoe me ka ʻole o kahi kalaiwa. ʻO ka chassis me ka hoʻokuʻu mua kūʻokoʻa a me nā paleki pahu (curious hydraulic i mua a cabled i ka hope) kūlike i ka horsepower kiʻekiʻe o ka ʻenekini.

ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole kūleʻa ʻo Silver Dawn, ka mea i kuhikuhi ʻia i ka mākeke US. Ua koho ka poʻe ʻike kuʻuna i ka Silver Wraith, aʻo ka poʻe ʻAmelika e koho i ka Bentley R-Type. He ʻumi mau makahiki ma hope mai ua ʻike maikaʻi ʻo Silver Shadow i ka manaʻo o ka Rolls-Royce kaulana me ke ʻano o ke kino.

hopena

ʻAʻole kāpae ka nui o ka Silver Dawn i ka manaʻo Rolls-Royce maʻamau o ka māmā ʻole o ka māmā. ʻAlele mālie ia ma ke ala me ka hāmau, ʻaʻole lohi, akā me ka ikaika, a ʻo ke kani wale nō o nā kaaka wili diagonally o ka baluna e komo i loko o koʻu mau pepeiao. Mau nō a kupaianaha hiki ke hoʻololi, ka paikikala e mālama iā ʻoe i ka hoihoi. Kākaʻikahi ʻoe e hoʻololi i nā kapa; he kaʻa kēia no ka poʻe makemake e hoʻokele.
