Condition

The car is described as being in fine order and driven by a marque expert who stated it looks and drives like it has only covered 63,000 miles. The foot pedals show no wear and the steering is tight and play-free. The engine is strong, silent, and powerful. For the last few years, the Ghost has been part of a fleet of vintage cars maintained in-house. This suggests the car is in excellent condition.

The heart of the Silver Ghost was its magnificent engine, a 7,036cc (later 7,428cc) side-valve six equipped with seven-bearing crankshaft and pressure lubrication.
The sturdy chassis consisted of channel-section side members and tubular cross members suspended on semi-elliptic springs at the front and a 'platform' leaf-spring arrangement at the rear, though the latter soon came in for revision.
The transmission too was soon changed, a three-speed gearbox with direct-drive top gear replacing the original four-speed/overdrive top unit in 1909.
In the course of its 20-year production life there would be countless other improvements to the car, one of the most important being the adoption of servo-assisted four-wheel brakes towards the end of 1923.
The magnificent Silver Ghost on offer here (339LF) dates from 1924 and is one of the 1,700 odd cars built at Rolls-Royce plant in Springfield, USA.
