Tourer Coachwork: Barker Chassis Num: F4930   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 has similar coachwork and was built by the same firm, Barker. It dates from 1911 and rides on the early style wooden artillery wheels.
