Rolls-Royce Springfield P1 Cold Starting

Old cars have their unique qualities and characteristics as well as techniques to operate them. At times myths and well meaning intentions get intermixed with them leading to confusion and the belief of perhaps unreliability issues or being a poor quality product. In these days, we are so used to our new cars being so automatic and user friendly, we forget there were times we had to be the operator managing these aspects. Of course we have owners handbooks and other literature to help us understand these things better. Just to note, the battery disconnect switch is a feature I added. It makes life easier to be able to turn the battery on and off while still in the driver's position. It is not an original feature or found on a lot of examples. Remember to get your car out and drive it. Exercise and use are your best line of defense.
