100 Years Old,

and still going strong,



not only in the engine department, but in the cash department too as this Silver Phantom comes under the hammer, Krishna Raja Wodeyar IV, Maharaja of Mysore ordered the Rolls Royce in 1911 and called it 'Victoria', he was one of the world's wealthiest men, being worth the equivalent of £35billion at his death in 1940, in case you are wondering the sunshade is to keep his servants out of the sun, his Silver Ghost 40/50hp Six Cylinder car is being sold by a private collector, and will be auctioned by Bonhams at the Goodwood Revival meeting on September 16, can you afford it? well a bit out of my price range, but a figure of £400,000 is put on it.
