Seller's comments about 1922' Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Open Tourer
The 1920s, a century ago. The time of corsets, hyperinflation and art deco. It was also called the ‘roaring twenties’, something Rolls Royce clearly did not participate in. They had been producing the Silver Ghost since 1907. The name referred to the 7. 5 litre 6-in-line which, despite its huge swept volume, was whisper-quiet. Extraordinary stealthiness, only for the executives, Sir! This was no exaggeration either, because while the average annual salary at the time was $1, 201, you could buy just the chassis and engine from Rolls and Royce for $10, 200. The body was hand-built for you elsewhere. Of course, you still had to pay for it. Our Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Open Tourer was completely rebuilt in 2014/ 2015 and overhauled at A. J. Glew into a beautiful Open Tourer. The renowned English parties with still the old craft. In the end, more than 1, 500 man-hours and 585, 000 euros were spent on our Silver Ghost. But then you have one of the, if not THE, most beautiful Silver Ghost!
