1909 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Rois Des Belges. for sale
Current customer rating: (211 votes ) based onChassis number 1194 was built in 1909 & is one of just a handful surviving from so early on. The car originally carried 2 seat coachwork by Brainsby and went as new to its first onwer in Australia. One Mr Greenside. The second owner was a Mr Yarhar of Victoria followed by messers Solemn & O'Neil both of Sydney. The current owner aquired it with a view to a major restoration which has just come to its 4 year culmination. Prior to this in 1973 the car compleded the Alpine Ghost tour of that year.
The attention to detail on the car is extrordinary. It has a full quotient of period instruments including an Elliott Brothers speedometer. oil pressure guage & correct Rolls Royce switches. all in nickel. The Silver Whisper monniker plaque is from solid sterling silver as its hall mark attests. A boa Constrictor type horn augments the passenger operated bulb type horn.
The car sits on Warland artillery wheels shod with Dunlop Cord beaded edge tyres. A spare detatchable rim is fitted to the running board. Under the bonnet the car is simply spectacular with gleaming brass & copper wherever one looks. The engine needless to say runs in the kind of unflustered silence for which the cars are renowned. Being newly rebuilt the car is due for a thousand or so miles of careful running in.
The car is coach painted in velvet green & has pale green scalloped coach lines to the bonnet. The seats are sumptuous buttoned green hide to front & rear along with green door cards & green Wilton carpets. The lamps are all nicel items & are spectaular in their condition having been fully rebuilt & replated. A whisperer mascot adorns the radiator.
Early Parallel bonnet Ghosts rarely come to market & even more rarely in such spectacular order. The car is in concours winning order & more then ready to clain first prizes. If not already sold it will appear on our stand at Technoclassica Essen.
