Known simply as 'The Best Car in the World,' the 40/50 hp Rolls-Royce was produced from 1907 until 1926. The name 'Silver Ghost' was given to the 13th 40/50 produced, that was used by the company for test runs and reliability trials. That car was so reliable that it currently has over half a million miles on it and is still retained by the company. This example wears a body by I. Wilkinson and Son Ltd. of Derby.
