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
