FEATURED CENTENNIAL VEHICLE 2022

1922 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost

Owned by Bob and Nancie Thompson, Port Elgin, Ontario, and Madeira Beach, Florida.

Celebrating 100 years of automotive excellence

An exceptional vehicle

Among the pre-World War II Rolls-Royce cars, the supreme example of the marque is the 40/50 HP Silver Ghost, the target motor car for many collectors. Designed for long life and reliability, all but a few of the 6,173 Silver Ghosts built in England between 1907 and 1925 are still on the road. Apart from neglect, very little goes wrong with the Ghost. The engine is nearly indestructible due to the massive design, generous bearing dimensions, very low compression, and low rev capacities. Mechanical adjustment and maintenance is straightforward, and many owners find hours spent with the oilcan and hand tools are as enjoyable as time on the open road, where the charm of driving a Silver Ghost can become addictive.
