A breathtaking collection of some 500 pre-World War Rolls-Royces assembled at Windsor Castle on May 7th for inspection by Her Majesty the Queen, a tribute to her organised by the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club in her Silver Jubilee Year. Some examples are shown here. The 1907 40\/50 7-passenger Barker Tourer, above left, was brought from Tampa, Florida, by its owner, Millard W. Newman. The first Rolls-Royce exported to America, and chassis number 553, this is the oldest 40\/50 known, other than Rolls-Royce’s original 40\/50 Silver Ghost, AX 201 (chassis number 551). The 40\/50, chassis number 557, shown above right in the procession leading from the Castle, was bodied from new by its original Scottish laird owner in 1907 with a shooting-brake body taken from an earlier Maudslay. Its present owner is James Smith of Aberdeenshire. The chassis of the 1902 40\/50 Tourer, below left, served as an ambulance in the First World War and was rebodied by its present owner, Mr. Jarvis. Rolls-Royce’s own 1904 2-cylinder, 10 h.p. model, below right, was one of three present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":739,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[],"tags":[167,62963,36467,178,238,23235],"issue_decade":[121607],"issue_year":[121652],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_content\/32695"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_content"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/issue_content"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/739"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32695"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_content\/32695\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":245184,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_content\/32695\/revisions\/245184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32695"},{"taxonomy":"issue_decade","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_decade?post=32695"},{"taxonomy":"issue_year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue_year?post=32695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
