Love Mozart, especially his 40th. And I love the sound of a perfectly restored Silver Ghost. But I can only hear ONE at ONCE. Thank you. I wanted to hear how quietly the car runs as the title implied would be the case. No such luck.
An added touch is the brick road that it is riding on in parts of the video. They were the most common of the paved roads during this early era. Thanks for sharing your beautiful machine...machine, no a real work of art that has never been bettered.
I have a photograph of my Great-Grandfather standing in front of a yellow body and black hood 1913 Silver Ghost Rolls-Royce. The photograph was taken in the early 1930s.
Mid America Productions gets my Oscar nomination for these three Rolls. Royce videos! Breathtakingly Beautiful! Luv the Rolls Royce tourer in white! Wonderful photos. Of engine, lovely leather work and top, pin striping! Should be movie The Great Gatsby, Just don't damage the automobile in movie. Of the three R.R. I Luv this one the Best! Thank You! Peter Brooks.
Best car ever made. Why? Well, it was in a league of its own when presented. It was on a mile high pedestal compared to other contemporary cars. Sadly we've never seen anything like that for over a century now.
What a wonderful beauty from 1914. I can imagine WW1 Ace Billy Bishop with Lady St. Hilier in this car. Both would likely be sitting in the back seat as the chauffer guided the Silver Ghost silently through the streets of London.
Billy Bishop didn't come from a wealthy family and only those could afford a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost. During the war many were used for the war effort and personal transport of high-ranking military officers on any front/continent the war was fought. Very much doubt anybody but the king or prime minister could do such a thing during the war.
That's was what sold them. Back then there were many other manufacturers but most of them couldn't be practically used and pretty much required their (often rich) owners to bring a mechanic with them on trips. Early cars were loud, crude and uncomfortable. Enter the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost. A smooth straight 6, well-built, comfortable and incredibly reliable. Rolls Royce proved that by putting their Silver Ghosts through (at the time) insanely long trips which other car brands could only dream of achieving. Some argue that that Rolls Royce has lived for over a century with the moniker "Best Car in the World" and that it hasn't really been true the last 50 odd years. However in 1906 there was absolutely no doubt Rolls Royce set the standard of the world with the Silver Ghost. Truly a milestone car.
The mascot seen on this Ghost is, most likely, not original. The Spirit of Ecstasy (created in 1911, but slowly introduced later) was an optional until 1939, and only about one in three Rolls-Royce, built in England, actually had it, and none were recorded to have left the coachwork Brewster (as the one in the video) fitted with the Spirit of Ecstasy. It may well have been a letter addition.
@@lewspeedwagon6330 even on a nice country road you can still take it out of second gear and let it "stretch it's legs" a bit. He wasn't going more than 15 mph in a car that can easily and comfortably cruise at 40 - 60 mph. On a smooth highway, these things can easily top 80 mph. Where would the harm be in driving it at something above walking speed?
@@shalaboii I think they're worth even more than that. So, what's your point? Anyone who can drop seven figures on what is essentially a toy can certainly afford to repair/replace anything that breaks and spend a couple hundred thousand on a full frame-off restoration every 20 years or so. Case in point, the Marmon Sixteen of the early 30s. Originally, about four hundred were built.. There are about 75 still in existence today. A few years ago, their owners noticed that they all began having the same problem: the cylinder heads were corroding, leaking coolant and losing compression. So, they got together and approached Edelbrock. "How much would it cost for you to cast and machine new aluminum cylinder heads to original specifications?" Edelbrock wasn't really interested in such a limited run, so they quoted the outrageously-inflated price of $15,000 each (every engine requiring two, of course). The Marmon owners replied, "Great! We'll take 85 sets!" (One set for each existing engine.) Edelbrock happily obliged. Each engine is, by now, fitted with a pair of brand new, original spec cylinder heads - and, wonder of wonders, having been made with modern aluminum alloys, will keep those engines purring like sixteen-cylinder kittens for much longer than the 80 years the original heads lasted. Like Jay Leno says, "Buy a 100-point Concours car, drive it until it's only a 5-point Concours car, then restore it again!"
thats what happens when excellent cinematography is turned into curtains with un necessary symphony - that engine would had made a better orchestra on this film- very sad that you covered that sound not that we dont like music but we would hear it in a different context
It is mentioned that the car is for sale, I would like to know by whom it is being sold? What is the name of the seller or dealer that is selling this motor car? Thank you in advance.
These automobiles are the latest thing, I predict in 20 years at least 10, 000 will be on out roads, at least. No millionaire will be without one. Oh Roger !

Amazing production focusing on an automobile of my dreams. This is worthy of millions of views.
what a classic dream car. the white color is very nice.
Wonderful car, wonderful scenery, WONDERFUL and classy music for such a jewel of a car! My compliments from Switzerland from a classical Opera singer.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever!

Wow wow Excellent yes sir

Que maravilla. Invaluable.
What a beauty, but is would be better without the music so we can here more of this fabulous car.
So Cool.
You are so beauty!...

Background music
I find Regency Italian music somewhat incongruous for a British Edwardian motor. Elgar, maybe, or Vaughan Williams?
My family has one in original conditi
This is decadent af. Love it.
Lets see it on the open road, or is it one of those Ghosts that is never driven properly? These cars are meant to be driven regularly.
arburo1 , you mean an interstate...? I don't think they existed in 1914, nor did black top roads...

...and driving around without a licence plate...and insurance ?
