This chassis #2092 with brass fittings went on test at Rolls-Royce on August 30, 1912. The current owner acquired the car in 2001 in an unrestored condition without a body. It still had its original British front registration plate, R-1472, which was applied at the factory and that number was painted on the fuel tank which was the normal procedure.

The car was shipped to England for restoration. The first body was long gone. An unrestored Arthur Mulliner body #7387, also with brass fittings, was available. It had originally been fitted to a 1911 Silver Ghost chassis #1653 which no longer existed.

This car is fully fitted with Louis Vuitton accessories as well as a complete tool box, running board trunk, spare tire and rear trunks.
