1923 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Brougham de Ville

Comments

Sold new in Sydney to the Arnott’s Biscuits family, this grand old dame is shortly to start its second century. Wearing its third body but still with its original engine and gearbox, this imposing motor car has spent the last forty years in the hands of the last owners and been on numerous long tours including one to Ayers Rock and has been particularly reliable. This is not necessarily remarkable as the Silver Ghost is legendary in this regard and any serious collector will want to have an example in their collection.

The present car undoubtedly has loads of patina. It is not going to win any concours although it will be a strong candidate for People’s Choice with its charming "lived-in" appearance and handsome lines. If there are defects in the paint (and there are) or scuffs in the leather, it all adds character and we wouldn’t be changing any of it. Importantly, the car is running very nicely and has the considerable advantage of being fitted with an overdrive unit for more relaxed touring.

Note: the odometer reads in miles per hour and has just 5 digits. We don’t for one second believe that the indicated mileage is correct but, sure as eggs, someone will send us an enquiry asking why it’s done so few kms. Such enquiries will not be well-received.
