Silver Ghost chassis |
When I was working in the London design office of
Rolls-Royce this old Silver Ghost was brought in for rebuilding after
it had been found standing in the back of a country garage for many years
after being converted to a towing truck. It's fitted with temporary mudguards
for road testing. The chap at the wheel was a colleague from the experimental
department who later, I believe, went on to become head of the automobile
engineering faculty at a college in Hampshire. I understand that after
it was rebuilt the owner tok the chassis to a coachbuilder to have a replica
body built on it. These cars, incidentally, were never officially called
'Silver' Ghosts, just the Rolls-Royce Ghost. Kine Exakta with f/2 Biotar
