Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost

Posted by admin | Roll Royce | Tuesday 16 June 2009 11:44 am

The Phantom I, which differed from the Ghost only in cylinder capacity and having overhead valves had a relatively short lifespan (1925-1929), and a total of 2,212 were built. It saw few modifications, and all there were were in the suspension (hydraulic shock-absorbers on the front wheels in 1926, and on the back in 1927).
1929 was the Phantom II series, with various modifications from the Phantom I (different engine block and bearings); in many people’s opinion it gave the model back its traditional flexibility and silence. Opinions were divided, however. Some described it as a truck, others compared its smooth running to a ‘velvet carpet’ . Progress had been made in that the mechanical components lasted longer, and it was less expensive to run (though still very far from cheap: less than 15 miles to the gallon).
