The 40-50 HP was born in 1906 and produced until 1926, but was to go down in history as the Silver Ghost, the first of many. The vehicle exhibited here is from 1914 and has a torpedo Barker bodywork as well as an incredible history: the British High Command employed it during WWI on the French front, where it was grazed by a grenade and survived the ambush of a German sniper. Not even the bullet holes – the signs of which are still visible – would stop its course; in fact, it reached Turin from London, in 1968, driving on its own wheels.
