  • Ran into a nice example of a vintage Rolls Royce Springfield Ghost and a gentleman kind enough to demonstrate the starting procedure. A real classic.

    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.

      Interesting observation! I don't know these cars well enough to have picked up on that.

    Beautiful classic. Is the engine a straight six? Looks like twelve wires from two coils - two plugs per cylinder? Wonderful engineering.

    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.

    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.

      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.
