STORY

The Silver Ghost, produced from 1907 to 1926, established Rolls-Royce's reputation for refinement and reliability and was famously promoted as 'the best car in the world.' It was powered by a smooth 7-litre (later 7.4-litre) inline-six engine. A demonstration car completed a 15,000-mile reliability run.
