About the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost
Introduced as the Rolls-Royce 40/50 hp in late 1906, this model acquired the Silver Ghost name from a celebrated 1907 demonstrator. Its smooth straight-six and meticulous engineering helped establish the marque's reputation for reliability and refinement. Customers generally commissioned bodies from independent coachbuilders, so surviving 1912 cars vary considerably in shape, mass and value. A 1912 car predates the four-speed gearbox adopted in 1913.
