One of the oldest Rolls-Royce Silver Ghosts in the world, a 1908 Silver Dawn, has just returned from continental Europe after completing 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometres) on the 2013 Centenary Alpine Trial. It's currently on display in the foyer of the company’s Head Office at Goodwood, West Sussex, in England.
Proudly wearing the “Number 1” rally plaque, this Silver Dawn features original parts including chassis, engine, gearbox, as well as front and rear axles. All major components are stamped 1908, and the engine even retains its original cast iron pistons.
The car was restored by Rolls-Royce’s authorized dealer, P&A Wood.
