Het verhaal achter deze...
The expression of the absolute exceptional - Rolls Royce
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-liter 6-in-line that, despite its huge swept volume, was whisper quiet. Extraordinary stealthiness, only for the executives, Sir! There was nothing exaggerated about that either, because where the average annual salary at the time was $1,201, at Messrs. Rolls and Royce you bought just the chassis with engine for $10,200. The body was hand-built for you elsewhere. You still had to pay for those, too, of course.
Because demand, despite the exorbitant price, was so enormous, Rolls Royce opened a factory in Derby, United Kingdom, in 1921. There, the last generation of the Silver Ghost was produced. Ours? Fortunately just produced in Derby, England. And those, even to this day, are still a lot more desirable than the Springfield. Every chassis was driven at least 100 miles before they were approved; The Spirit of Ecstasy was still shaped and finished by hand. Nothing nickel-plated, real silver, bending over your huge chrome grill. What? Just incredibly chic!
Our 2014/2015 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Open Tourer was completely rebuilt and overhauled at A.J. Glew into a beautiful Open Tourer. The renowned English lots 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, if not the, most beautiful Silver Ghost that drives-uh whispers-on European soil! Everything is functional, ready to take you back to real driving.
Now get your cigars and tophat, your driver knows how to find us.
