1914 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Dual Windshield Touring Car

  • Coachwork by Cockshoot
  • Chassis Number: 37PB
  • Engine Number: 30M
  • Registration Number: XE 5844
This 1914 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost 40/50 HP has chassis #37PB and Engine # 30M. It was ordered in 1913 and delivered to Glasgow, Scotland in 1914 as a 'chassis only.' It then went to Barker & Company where it was fitted with a Landaulette body. #37PB then passed through various owners. In 1959 it was sold, again as a chassis only, to Colonel Gresham. He also owned a 1912 Silver Ghost, chassis #1962. The Colonel had the Joseph Cockshoot Ltd. body lifted from #1962 and placed on #37PB. A new Roi de Belges body was constructed for #1962. Upon Gresham's death the cars were sold to different owners. Chassis #37PB found its way to the Nic Miller collection in Curacao, Netherland, Antilles. Upon his death, it was purchased by the current collection and reunited with the stablemate #1962 car. The car has completed numerous tours and remains in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition.

With a body balanced high over a silky-smooth transverse leaf spring and drivetrain powered by a huge but silent 7-liter, six-cylinder in-line block, the Silver Ghost broke world endurance and mileage records - almost 24 mph for a two-ton car. The 48 horsepower engine is coupled to a 4-speed transmission with reverse and has a top speed of 34 mph.

The 'Silver Ghost' got its name from the paint and plated fittings that cover the car's exterior.
