Description of 1926 Rolls-Royce Ghost |
1926 Rolls-Royce Silver GhostTilburySedan with Coachwork by Rolls-Royce Custom Coach Work
At some point the car was sold to Agnew in Vermont who advertised it in the Flying Lady, the journal of the Rolls-Royce Owners Club in 1965, stating that he was the second owner, and that it had new upholstery and the engine had been overhauled. Chassis supplied by Rolls-Royce's Springfield, Mass. factory would usually be fitted with bodies produced by the likes of Brewster, Willoughby, Merrimac, and Holbrook. This car was built as aTilburysedan body, by Willoughby, body 1527, coachwork that remains original to the car today. TheTilburysedan is one of several "catalog" styles offered by Rolls-Royce of America under the hallmark of Rolls-Royce Custom Coach Work, available in fixed-roof or landaulet styles. Sold by Sotheby?s at the Ben Moser, famous automotive connoisseur, sale in Solvang, California in 1993, the car is almost certainly still in the same condition. It has subsequently passed through the hands of Manny Dragone in Connecticut, an equally respected authority on early cars and most recently was in Portuguese ownership. The structure of the car is outstanding and it is running and driving with great aplomb. TheTilbury-bodied Ghosts seldom appear for sale but they offer a near ideal combination of style and all-weather comfort. Presented in good order throughout, S256PL is a charming motorcar that is well suited for use touring with organizations such as the Silver Ghost Society within the RROC, SGA or the CCCA.
