1926 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Pall Mall. Factory Left Hand Drive Springfield Rolls, with its original Merrimac body and matching numbers engine, and excellent provenance including the original owner! John T. Caperton bought the car new, and his son, who is still alive today, visited this car and shared his memories of it! The ownership chain is very nearly unbroken, with all subsequent owners known since 1951 !
.
Beautiful in Brewster Green.
.
Note the winterfront radiator shutters and drum headlamps
.
Top down and rear seat windshield up!
.
Sidemounts, sidemount mirrors and tool box adjacent to the runningboard.

That is a handsome, sleek and well proportioned car. This Springfield Rolls is especially desirable because of its extremely attractive Merrimac bodywork.
.
Spectacular
.
Goodrich Silvertown tires are a nice touch
.
Nice trunk with fitted luggage!
.
.
Nice set of tools and tool roll. These are stored in the compartment on the left side of the car
.
Beautiful wire wheels with Buffalo centerlock knock-off hubs.
.
Absolutely beautiful interior, done in brown leather. The leather is exactly like the original, with a very lightly embossed pattern and a harder finish than most modern leather has. The son of the original owner saw this car in it’s current state, and he remarked how the upholstery looked exactly right!
.
Beautiful 4 spoke steering wheel. Also note the quadrant, with “Governor” fast and slow settings, carburetion ” Weak” or “Strong” and timing “Early” or “Late”.
.
Beatiful dash and gauges. Note the proper nickel finishes on the plated items like the shifter and steering column.
.
Excellent and functional gauges
.
Beautifully trimmed rear compartment
.
The retractable and adjustable rear seat windshield is a great accessory .
.
Here it is protecting the rear seat passengers from flying bugs!
.
The sidecurtains and irons are stored in the polished wood cabinet mounted at the rear of the front seat.
.
Single courtesy lamp.
.
A powerplant without equal in the era ! 6 Cylinders, 7,428cc capacity ( 453 cubic inches ! ) with twin ignition, and integral cylinder block and cylinder head. An absolute triumph of engineering.
.
Polished brass and bronze fittings, lines and carburettors. The dual ignition distributors can be seen here.
.
Correct fan belt and honeycomb radiator core.
.
More carburetion detail
.
Here’s a great feature – the pre-bijur centralized chassis lubricator – each port threads into the oil gun, for leak-free lubrication of torque tube, sphere, and engine coupling!
.
Very nicely detailed indeed!
.
This engine has huge amounts of torque, it just pulls like a train! The oil pressure is nice and high, and it runs smoothly and starts easily, both cold and when it’s been warmed up. I noticed an engine noise, kind of like a grumble, that sounds to me like some sort of valvetrain noise. I feel as though I should mention that. Also note the modern generator, the correct generator is also included in the sale.
.
Another great feature is the gear vendors overdrive unit, which is made to fit just behind the transmission, replacing the original drive coupling. It’s a bolt-in item, and the original parts are included with the car.
.
the undercarriage is clean and tidy.
.
Nice! Ready to tour!
.
Clean and orderly underneath.
.
The Flying Lady atop the classic and instantly recognizable radiator shell! The Radiator shell was inspired by the Classical Greek temple, the Parthenon. The Ancient Greeks had a theory of the ideal ratio of height to width, and that theory was reflected in the design of the temple. And, if you were a college educated person in the early 20th century, your curriculum likely included exposure to the ancient Greeks as well as possibly the ancient Greek and Latin Languages. So in a subtle way, Rolls Royce was telling their target market of elite customers that this car evoked the same perfection in design as the ancient Greeks!
.
the top and interior were trimmed by the famed Nemanic of San Francisco, and are of the highest quality!
.
Beautiful black fabric, no wrinkles and straight seams !
.
Although it is showing 1926 California plates, those are just for display. The car is properly titled and registered and has modern California license plates. 
.
A wonderful car, authentic, original, great provenance and ready to tour and enjoy!
