fantastic cars, was having a play in one at PnA woods. they do a package to change the styling at the front and rear n some other bits, makes it a much nicer car overall to look at.
they dont have a rev counter either, just a dial to tell him you how much pecentage power you are using

Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost
Manufacturer: Rolls-Royce
Production: 1906–1925
Successor: Rolls-Royce Phantom I
AX201 at Cat and Fiddle Hill during the Scottish Reliability Trial 1907The Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost refers both to a model of cars and one specific car from that series. Originally named the 40/50 h.p. the chassis was produced at the Manchester factory and chassis no 60551, registered AX 201, went on to become the most famous car ever.
History
In 1906 Rolls-Royce produced four chassis to be shown at the Olympia car show, after a great deal of public interest the managing director Mr Claude Johnson (often described as the hyphen in Rolls-Royce) ordered the car painted silver, with silver plated fittings. A plaque with the words "Silver Ghost" adorned the bulkhead. An open top body by coachbuilder Barker was fitted, and the car readied for the Scottish reliability trials 1907.
The aim was to raise public awareness of the new company and to show the reliability and quietness of their new car. This was a risky idea, cars of this time were notoriously unreliable and roads of the day could be horrendous. Nevertheless the car set off on trials and with press aboard broke record upon record. Even after 7,000 miles (11,000 km) the cost to service the car was negligible.
The reputation of Rolls-Royce was set, and the 40/50 very successful. After the introduction of the Phantom I in 1925 older 40/50 models were called Silver Ghosts to avoid confusion, but there was only one car given the name "Silver Ghost" - 60551, registered AX-201. The name referred to the car's ghost-like quietness. For many years after RR continued with the paranomal theme of naming cars, and the Ghosts remain one of the most evocative symbols of their time.
In all 8416 Silver Ghosts were produced from 1907 to 1926, many of them still running to this day. AX201, the most priceless of all, was sold in 1908 to a private customer and recovered by the company in 1948. Since then it has been used as a publicity car and travelled worldwide. In 1989 the car was restored by SC Gordon Coachbulders Luton, and P&A Wood, London UK
