Roi-des-Belges Tourer
Coachwork: Wilkinson
Chassis #: 2617
Engine #: 11A
Sold for $693,000 at 2014 Bonhams Quail Lodge Auction.
This 1913 Rolls-Royce is fitted with coachwork from Wilkinson and Sons of Derby. The car is powered by a side-valve inline six 7.4-liter engine developing 40/50 horsepower coupled to a 3-speed manual gearbox. A full set of records confirm this chassis was dispatched from the works on October 25, 1913 fitted with the engine that still remains today. The completed car was sold to an Australian retailer Anthony Hordern where it became known as 'The Hordern Ghost.' The Hordern family owned many Rolls-Royce vehicles over a period of time and just like this model, it was passed on to survivors and remained in the family for many years.
