Highlighting the fact that all these vintage cars travelled to Goodwood under their own power, Rolls-Royce points out that of all the Rolls‑Royces produced since the marque’s foundation in 1904, almost three-quarters are still in perfect working order today.

One of the cars present was a Silver Ghost that celebrated its 100th birthday this month. Built in September 1920, this Silver Ghost has an open drive Limousine Body by HJ Mulliner, finished in silver and black. The car was acquired by its present owners in 2011 and has completed over 17,000 miles since then, mainly on 20-Ghost Club tours.

Andrew Ball, Head of Heritage, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said, “It is always a delight to welcome the 20-Ghost Club to our Home here at Goodwood. As the oldest Rolls-Royce car club in existence, they’re a very special part of the wider Rolls-Royce family and play a crucial role in maintaining our unique heritage. It was the Silver Ghost that first earned Rolls-Royce the accolade of ‘the best car in the world’ – and with new Ghost, we’re upholding and strengthening that reputation.”
