A 1912 Rolls-Royce 40/50hp Silver Ghost Roi des Belges Style Tourer crossing the block at Goodwood 🇬🇧⁠
⁠
Originally built as a limousine, this 1912 Rolls-Royce 40/50hp Silver Ghost was purchased as a dismantled project at Bonhams’ Beaulieu auction in 2003. Over nearly two decades, it underwent an exacting restoration by a world-renowned Ghost specialist, with related costs totaling approximately £600,000. Now completed, the car presents in the elegant Roi des Belges open tourer style, a design known for its graceful proportions and period-correct detailing. As one of the most celebrated early motorcars, the Silver Ghost played a pivotal role in establishing Rolls-Royce’s reputation for engineering excellence, earning its title as The Best Car in the World.⁠
⁠
Expertly hand-formed in aluminum and finished in silver metallic, this Silver Ghost exudes timeless sophistication. Its dark green buttoned leather interior complements the car’s commanding presence, while the full-length mohair hood offers practicality when needed. First introduced in 1906, the Silver Ghost set new benchmarks for reliability and refinement, famously completing a 15,000-mile endurance test that solidified Rolls-Royce as the pinnacle of automotive craftsmanship. Immaculately restored to the highest standards, this remarkable example not only represents a defining moment in motoring history but remains a distinguished and highly eligible entrant for RREC and 20 Ghost Club events.⁠
