1926 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER GHOST PICCADILLY ROADSTER | |
This beautifully presented Springfield
Rolls-Royce is believed to be one of approximately 79 American Silver
Ghosts built with the sporting Piccadilly Roadster coachwork from new.
Originally manufactured in June 1926, this Silver Ghost was used for
several years by the factory as a development car. Such attention
ensured the Roadster was consistently fitted with the latest technical
developments, and as reported by a later owner who was also a
Rolls-Royce Owner's Club president, the car was factory-fitted with a
number of components from the forthcoming Phantom model. |
