I Thought I Would Stick With Another Car Post Today,

as this rarity will be coming under the hammer soon,            

it is a 1911 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, previous models were dubbed the ‘Best Car in the World’ by the prestigious publication Autocar in 1907, the car was officially named the 40/50hp but it soon picked up the 'Silver Ghost' moniker from owners and journalists because of its supreme quality, this particular model was made in 1911 and delivered on April 1 that year to Sir Adolph Tuck, the son of Raphael Tuck who made his fortune in the postcard industry at the end of the 19th century,

now this is the bit I like, the Rolls-Royce comes complete with a picnic basket containing champagne and silver goblets, also it is fitted with a Landaulette body so he could be chauffeur driven around, I can imagine it now, 'champange, then home James and don't spare the horse power!' speaking of power, this model, which goes by the name ‘Chassis 1557’, was fitted with a 7.4-litre engine which produced between 40bhp and 50bhp, next can you afford it?

auction house Historics, which is managing the sale, has set a guide price of £450,000 to £550,000 for when it goes under the hammer, with Ghosts very rarely coming onto the open market, this classic example of luxury British engineering is expected to attract global interest when it is sold at Brooklands on September 1, Edward Bridger-Stille, Historics auction director, said: 'to find a Silver Ghost for sale is a red letter day', would I like it? you bet!
