The Original Silver Ghost

This car was on display at the 12th Northern Classic Car Show at the G-MEX Exhibition Centre in Manchester in August 1993.

It's a 1907 Rolls Royce 40/50 with a Roi-des-Belges body built by Barker & Co. Because of the appearance of the car, the silence of the engine and smoothness of the ride AX201 was given the name 'The Silver Ghost', a name that was eventually given to all Rolls Royce 40/50 models although Rolls Royce didn't officially recognise this fact until 1925.
