1925 Rolls-Royce SpringfieldSilver Ghost Left-Hand-Drive
Introducing this beautiful and extremely rare post-World War One
1925 Rolls-Royce Springfield Silver Ghost Left-Hand-Drive. It is a
luxury car that transports you into a world of such timeless
elegance you can imagine Jay Gatsby sitting behind the
steering-wheel.Moreover, despite this car now being 100 years old,
it has - to our knowledge - never once failed to start, so intense
is the attention to detail lavished on every aspect of what is
almost certainly the very finest example in the world of a Silver
Ghost of its vintage. This is one of the very last left-hand-drive
Silver Ghosts, which only were made in the final series of this
Rolls-Royce model being manufactured in Springfield,
Massachusetts.And with the Ascot body that was an addition in 1990
- the only example of a Silver Ghost so enhanced - our car
certainly qualifies as one of the most sexy Rolls-Royce bodies ever
produced. Such sultriness is only enhanced by the car's beautifully
sculpted fenders with the sumptuous curvature of
end-of-the-twenties styling on a 1925 Silver Ghost chassis.This
unique model is beautifully detailed in a captivating burgundy
exterior color, gracefully set off by its spectacular polished
aluminum and nickel-plated components. With its chassis number
S206ML, your drive in this Silver Ghost - campaigned by Silver
Ghost mega-guru Steve Litton - is guaranteed to be puissant and
slinky.Having won numerous national awards at Rolls-Royce meetings,
this is certainly the most desirable, most beautiful Silver Ghost
in existence.Under the hood, the 7,428 CC inline 6-cylinder engine
is a marvel of power and reliability, performing well on its
extensive tours across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the
United States. The addition of a Gear Vendor overdrive naturally
enhances the car's touring capacity, making it a joy to drive even
on modern roadways. The chassis, detailed in burgundy, is ready for
Concours display with minimal additional detailing, showcasing the
vehicle's power and smoothness. Additional equipment includes a
convertible soft-top, dual-front windshields, comfortable bench
seating, weather gear, dual-side rearview mirrors, and 21-inch
wheels with Firestone white-wall tires.This brilliant vehicle
boasts an $18,000 investment spent on it in July 2015 (service
receipt copies are included) on authentic tan leather upholstery,
offering just the right amount of patina to reflect its storied
past. The interior is adorned with exquisite woodwork, featuring
two complete bands of inlaid mother of pearl, secured by perfectly
aligned flat-head screws - a testament to the meticulous attention
to detail in its restoration.This history of this classic tells a
special story. Originally ordered by Paul Grant of New York City,
Chassis S206ML was delivered as a Sudbury sedan on May 18, 1926.
The vehicle's further provenance is meticulously documented in
numerous books, factory records, and Rolls-Royce Owners' Club
(RROC) publications, tracing its ownership from A. Harling of
Maryland in 1965 to Kenneth Wessel of Ohio in 1986, who undertook a
comprehensive restoration that earned accolades at the 1990 RROC
Annual Meeting in its present Ascot dual cowl phaeton
configuration. With a legacy of national awards from the RROC and a
storied history of touring tens of thousands of miles across three
continents - the United States, Europe and Australasia - S206ML is
a testament to the enduring allure and performance of the Silver
Ghost lineage.This Rolls-Royce is not just an exotic classic car;
it is a masterpiece of automotive art, a symbol of luxury, and a
testament to the enduring legacy of Rolls-Royce craftsmanship. The
Silver Ghost community is vast and supportive: tours are held
worldwide, celebrating these cars' enduring design and exceptional
handling for their era. Do not miss this great opportunity to

Ghost that is mechanically sound. For $385,000
