this post, where a 1913 Silver Ghost turned up here in Atlanta, I was back at this years car show, and pride of place was a 1910 Silver Ghost. It always amazes me which old British cars will turn up at this show amongst the Triumphs and MGs

Unfortunately there wasn't a storyboard next to the car, so I have no idea of it's history. No doubt DC will know
There seems to have been a bit of a restoration going on; apparently this was the barn find status some years back (un-fortunately photo undated)

First Picture:
Alain Schenkel’s 1910 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost 40/50
Alain is a Belgian and the car crosses the globe regularly to attend shows and has been in UK (its original home) many times since.
Coachwork is Roi des Belges by Wilkinson & Sons of Derby
1341 puts it as a series 5 chassis. (with rear wheel brakes only)
It’s AA badge sold 5 years ago
http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/18218/lot/103/Sadly the one on the car is not it’s original.
Value, for what its worth is about £800K GBP
The other car is a 1933 20/25 but without the chassis number all I can tell you is it looks like a Thrupp and Maberly “D” back Limousine. This wouldn’t have been the original colours, far too garish. But very nice nevertheless.
Both cars are UK registered, and a long way from home.
Value about £45K GBP
Thanks for posting Dermot.
