Ghost Story: Rolls-Royce 40/50 "Silver Ghost" 1907-2007


Duke G., Helsing E.
978 1 905006526
£11.95

   

Published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the introduction of Rolls-Royce's most famous model, advertised by the manufacturer as "The Best Six-Cylinder Car in the World"

Ghost Story The Social History of a Remarkable Car and its Unusual Owners

has been compiled and self-published by Graham Dukes and Elisabet Helsing, after 10 years of research.

Around 8,000 Silver Ghosts were produced during the period 1907 to 1928 at the Rolls-Royce works at Derby and in Springfield, Massachusetts and this is the story of just one of them. Chassis number 114AU, a 1924 example, is owned by the couple and kept at their home in Norway.

Though this delightful little book covers the story of one particular "Silver Ghost", the text will provide plenty of interest to all Rolls-Royce owners and enthusiasts, those interested in coachbuilding and in social history.
