In 1913, Rolls-Royce
embarked on a journey that involved sending its Works Team in three
distinct, ‘Alpine Eagle’ Silver Ghosts and a private entrant James
Radley out to conquer 1,820 miles of rigorous mountain terrain. The
completion and performance of the journey established Rolls-Royce as the
winner of the prestigious Archduke Leopold Cup among other awards and
effectively solidified their reputation as the ‘Best Car in the World.’
Drawing inspiration from this iconic milestone and moment in the
Rolls-Royce pantheon, the company recently debuted a special homage to
the journey via the Rolls-Royce Alpine Trial Centenary Collection Ghost.
Taking cues from the original models that triumphed the terrain,
design elements feature a plethora of bespoke elements including
exterior paint hues that show a close resemblance to Radley’s Silver
Ghost as well as the a replication of the original black wheels and
front grill. On the interior, elegant interpretations of the terrain are
inlaid into the front dashboard while an intricately designed clock
features notches that display the stages of the rally and the timings.
