1924 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Tourer
Chassis Number 82EM. Supplied new with coachwork by Barker & Co and exhibited at the British Empire Exhibition . Several owners later the Ghost was fitted with a rather stylish Woody estate car body in 1962. It was one of two Ghosts that were constructed into very authentic armoured cars and used in the film Lawrence of Arabia. After filming was over chassis number 82EM was delivered to coach builder Jarvis of Bracknell for restoration and re-bodying in the style of a Barker barrel sided sports tourer. This is without doubt one of the most beautiful body styles fitted to the 1920's Ghost chassis. Today the car is in very good order throughout and is finished in cream coachwork with black wings and blue buttoned leather interior trim. It has a fold away rear Auster screen so ones guests can maintain their dignity whilst travelling at speed. The driving experience is an absolute pleasure. She steers well and the engine is very strong and pulls effortlessly. The car comes with an extensive history file that shows regular servicing and maintenance with a new honeycomb radiator recently fitted. It is becoming increasingly hard to find a beautifully bodied Ghost at a sensible price but you have just found one.
