Rolls Royce Silver Ghost

I showed a photograph on 10th December 2014 of the original Silver Ghost at the 1993 Northern Classic Car Show. Here's a photograph of another Rolls Royce Silver Ghost.

It was taken at the Exchange Station car park, Manchester, the assembly point for the Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run organised by the Lancashire Automobile Club in May 1987. Again, the information in the programme of the event about this car is very sparse, being just details of the car model and the entrant:

The Silver Ghost Association has a website and is 'dedicated to the preservation and use of Rolls Royce Silver Ghost automobiles.'

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.
