(The power rating is estimated.)
The Silver Ghost was possibly the best car in the world at that time.
When first shown, the car was called "40/50H.P." but the first shown
Silver Ghost became well known for its silver paint job and a >20,000km/12,500mi
non-stop drive so no one wanted to remember the original name.
The Silver Ghost was succeeded by the Phantom I.
This Silver Ghost was built for the Maharajah of Hyderabad/India.
