There seems to be some controversy about this car. Chassis #52HG ?

GU6791 is a London registration dating from 1929.

1922, or 1925 Silver Ghost, by Barker or d’Ieteren. More to do.

This car wears engravings to either side of the bonnet stating the date as 1922.

:lol:

The wonders of Google......

Can this now be recorded as a Silver Ghost, as jfs has identified?

It certainly looks Ghost rather than Phantom, but then there is the the D’Ieteren or Barker conundrum. Those headlights look European to me, so maybe the answer could be:

1922 Rolls-Royce 40/50hp Silver Ghost Open Drive Limousine by D’Ieteren.

Or not.

Recorded on DVLA as a Ghost, but then.........

I will see if I can confirm the chassis no. tomorrow, time permitting.

What does anyone think that roof does? Tthe driver’s compartment roof looks fixed, but maybe the passenger compartment opens, although I can’t see any landau irons.

It looks a bit of a shabby fit whether in 1983, 2008 or 2016/17 pics. Home-made bodge rather than original??

Confirmed as #52HG, as jfs correctly thought.

"... GU 6791 registered car 52HG, which is a Barker" - from here.
