I've always found that the drivers of classic cars are friendly. I drive a 1965 Silver Cloud III and have done for more than 40 years, as the second owner. People love to chat and exchange information. It's a great way to make friends.
🤗 Truly beautiful Springfield built Silver Ghost 👻. I would however be afraid 😨 to drive it on the roads today, especially in modern traffic!. An absolute classic vehicle..........
Yes, that's why I drive a 1930 Model A, mechanical parts and even body panels are always easy to find cheaply. Also, Ford's simple basic gas tank is gravity feed- no need to pump up pressure for a fuel pump. The Rolls is gorgeous, but give me an antique Ford for more smiles per mile.
Check out The Silver Ghost Association. The members drive their Ghosts anywhere and everywhere all around the world. V.dry powerful and reliable cars and are a blast to drive.
The early Springfield Silver Ghosts were available with horizontal shutters either painted or nickeled. Standard was no shutters like their British counterparts. Vertical shutters in nickel were introduced in 1926 as an option on the late Springfield Ghosts. The use of the nickeled vertical shutters became standard on the British PI’s in 1926 and the Springfield Phantom I’s in 1927.
This is actually very poor technique for starting a Silver Ghost. It owiuld have started first time if he used proper technique. And hadn't molested the original ignition system with modern electronics.
Inferior in every way to the cars built in Derby England. The fact that they were built in England gave them 'snob appeal' this is why production stopped.

Are they expensive to maintain?
In general old RRs are.
How about parts. Are they manufactured if you need them? At an astronomical price, perhaps?
Nice find!! Engine sounded smoother than most modern cars!

Beautiful
Twin plug? Looks like a straight six engine and two 6 cylinder distributors. My phone's screen isn't huge lol
Are the LED lights original? 🤔
First time i ever seen a Silver Ghost with the grille of a RR Twenty
Interesting observation! I don't know these cars well enough to have picked up on that.
Horizontal shutters were, I believe, used pre-1925.

Ahhh The life of rich people
Beautiful classic. Is the engine a straight six? Looks like twelve wires from two coils - two plugs per cylinder? Wonderful engineering.
Yes, double ignition system on a straight six. So if one failed, there was always a backup. Rolls was cautious about electrics in the early years.
@@noscwoh1 The same twin ignition idea used on their RR aircraft V-12 engines of WW II. Redundancy always a great idea.
Good daily driver 👌
Orrie!

Owiuld
Another poor example of how to start a Silver Ghost. Here is a novel idea. Read the Owner’s Manual. It is clearly described It isn’t complicated.
Made in Springfield massachusetts 🎉
Home of the mafia
