To those who are a lover of cars. 

 Rolls Royce originally bought for $1,000 in 1912 was sold for $4,705,500., the most
expensive Rolls Royce ever sold at auction.

The six-cylinder, 7.3-litre car comes with perfect provenance and is still purring smoothly, doing about 15 miles to the gallon. What it lacks in gadgetry, the classic more than compensates for with luxury.

The sale took place in West Sussex. Auctioneers had expected it to sell for around $2 million and were astonished when the bidding between two rival collectors topped $4 million. James Knight, from Bonhams auctioneers, said: ˜There were three bidders, then one of them dropped out at $2.3 million and we thought it would end there.

The car was commissioned by Rolls Royce connoisseur John M. Stephens, who also bought the first Silver Ghost the luxury car-maker produced in 1906. The body was built by former royal carriage-maker Barker's of Mayfair, which had previously built coaches for King George III and Queen Victoria.

The car even had a speedometer – an important addition given that a 20 mph speed limit was introduced in 1912. Unlike most car enthusiasts of his time, Mr. Stephens, from Croydon, South London, asked the makers not to include a glass division window between the driver and the passengers as he wanted to drive it himself rather than rely on a chauffeur.
 
The car's distinctive cream and green design echoed the luxury Pullman Railway carriages of
the time, and it was known as a Double Pullman Limousine. But it was nicknamed the Corgi Silver Ghost in the 1960s after the toy-maker based its Silver Ghost toy car on this model.
 
Mr. Stephens' car is believed to be the only one of its kind to survive with its full interior and bodywork. Many Rolls Royces from the era were converted into ambulances during World War I.
