The car is reported to be in excellent condition with the bodywork being true and straight, and the interior being a match in terms of quality, charm, and preservation. The engine bay is also reported to be spectacularly clean, shiny, dry and tidy, and the undersides of the car look to have a great deal of structural integrity. Only minor wear and tear is reported, such as some small, worn-through patches on the outer shoulders of the front seat back-rests.

The current vendor has owned this extraordinary vehicle, chassis 33UG, since July 2014, having travelled to Montana in order to see, appraise and drive it before deciding to part with his money.
It is a matching numbers car and the engine was rebuilt by Carl Ford and his team of esteemed Roll-Royce whisperers at Priory Vintage in 2015/16.
From 1921 to 1925, some 1,100 RHD Silver Ghosts were produced at Springfield.
Just 77 of these were bodied as ‘Oxford Tourers’ and only 17 were bodied by unknown builders.
We understand 33UG to be one of those 17 cars.
This fine motorcar was first purchased by a Mr.
Christopher Hannevig of Philadelphia.
Mr Hannevig was then appointed to the US Embassy in London and so this Rolls-Royce made the rather back-to-front journey of going from the US to England.
Mr Hannevig brought the car back to Philadelphia on completion of his assignment in the UK.
33UG was subsequently sold to Mr.
Lewis Jacobs Jr.
in 1950.
Mr.
William Gotherman in North Caro...
