Seller's comments about 1926' Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost
The Rolls-Royce 20 hp was a passenger car that Rolls-Royce built from 1922 to 1929 as a “small Rolls-Royce” alongside the large 40/50 hp and Phantom I models. It was actually intended to attract customers who wanted to get behind the wheel themselves. A new in-line six-cylinder engine with overhead valves was designed for this car. It had a displacement of 3,127 cm³ (bore × stroke = 76 mm × 114 mm). Unlike the Silver Ghost's engine, all cylinders were cast in one block and the cylinder head was removable. The ignition worked with a magnet or coil (battery). The early versions had a three-speed gearbox with a center shift lever, but from 1925 a four-speed gearbox was offered with a shift lever on the driver's right side. The rear axle was driven via a drive shaft without a cardan joint. The chassis with a separate frame had rigid axles at the front and rear, each of which was suspended on semi-elliptical longitudinal leaf springs. Initially only the rear wheels had drum brakes. From 1925 all four wheels were equipped with drum brakes which were operated via a mechanical brake booster. The car had the well-known Rolls-Royce radiator with a triangular attachment. Early examples had horizontal enameled slats, later there were nickel-plated examples and finally vertical slats were used. Subject to prior sale and errors.
