This is a gorgeous 1925 Rolls-Royce Springfield Silver Ghost Pall

　　Mall Phaeton that has been shown at Europes leading concours event

　　at Villa dEste as well as participating on many tours. With a known

　　history from new, donning its original beautiful phaeton coachwork

　　and engine, this is a no excuses Silver Ghost that can be enjoyed

　　on tours or at concours events. Being a later LHD Ghost, this

　　benefits from the more advanced technology and has been set up well

　　for reliable touring. Silver Ghosts are without a doubt, one of the

　　most enjoyable and impreive motorcars of the period and this

　　example doesnt disappoint. According to the factory records, S138MK

　　was delivered new with its Merrimac built Pall Mall phaeton body

　　number M-1244. The body plate is still on the Rolls and is shown in

　　the photo gallery along with the 200 photos. Engine number 22564

　　was installed and is still in the Rolls today, the engine number is

　　also shown in the photo gallery. S138MK was originally delivered to

　　Houston and used as the Rolls-Royce Trials Car on June 30, 1925. By

　　May 14, 1928, S138MK had found its first owner, Mr. Paul E. Zehe,

　　where it was delivered to his sprawling estate in New Rochelle, NY.

　　Mr. Zehe enjoyed the Rolls for the next 16 years until it was

　　acquired by Mr. Thomas A Herbert of NYC and then to Lawrence Dame,

　　the Art Editor of The Boston Herald. S138MKs next caretaker was Mr.

　　Thomas Petzold of Groe Pointe Park, MI and Palm Beach, FL. Mr.

　　Petzold acquired the Pall Mall on February 11, 1954 and enjoyed it

　　for the next 24 years until it was acquired by Michael Gertner,

　　Esq. of Newport Beach, CA. Mr. Gertner entered into the 1979 RROC

　　Annual Meeting concours in Monterey, CA where it earned a place

　　award. The Rolls had accumulated about 75,000 miles from new. Mr.

　　Gertner continued to restore and improve the Ghost through his 13

　　years of ownership until it was acquired by Walter Steinemann of

　　Morschwil, Switzerland. Mr. Steinemann was a longtime RREC board

　　member and was the editor of the highly acclaimed Alpine Eagle

　　magazine. He had about 27 Rolls-Royces and Bentleys in his

　　collection. In 2007, Mr. Steinemann entered the Ghost in the 1,000

　　mile 7E RAID tour from Switzerland to Paris. The Ghost performed

　　beautifully. By 2009, Mr. Steinemann entered S138MK in the Concours

　　DElegance at Villa dEste, arguably Europes most prestigious

　　concours event. The link to his entry is here: Rolls-Royce Silver

　　(concorsodeleganzavilladeste.com) From Klaus-Josef Rofeldt in

　　Germany: Apart from photos of S138MK that occasionally appeared in

　　Alpine Eagle, the magazine of the Swi Section of the RREC this

　　particular car is shown repeatedly (e.g. pages 4 and 6) in the book

　　Faszination auf Rdern Rolls-Royce & Bentley >>Fascination on

　　Wheels RR & Bentley by Walter Steinemann, Moerschwil, Switzerland.

　　The book was published in 2002 as a limited edition with a

　　print-run of 1,500 copies. Walter Steinemann devoted pages 84 and

　　85 of his book to show 5 further photos of what obviously has been

　　one of his favorite motor cars. A further photo is found page 373.

　　Walter Steinemann had another book Rolls-Royce Der beste Wagen der

　　Welt published in 1990, too. That was of smaller size with only 80

　　pages and merely B&W photos were shown. My check showed two

　　photos of S138MK did appear in that tome, page 13. The livery is

　　finished in a beautiful Dove Gray that is complemented by all

　　nickel-plated acceories, lights and the iconic Rolls-Royce Grill.

　　The Dove Gray is accented with red and a double black coachstripe

　　that runs the length of the Ghost. The paint has a wonderful shine

　　and luster. There is a small amount of damage near the paenger side

　　front fender near the side mount spare that can easily be

　　corrected. The wire spoke wheels are painted black to completment

　　the beautiful red leather interior and are donned with new

　　Firestone black walled tires. The black canvas convertible top

　　looks handsome and is in excellent condition. The Ghost is well

　　acceorized with two tonneau covers, one for the rear paengers

　　compartment and one for the drivers compartment. These are crucial

　　for touring as it allows you to pile in the luggage and ancillary

　　articles on tours. The rear has the luggage rack with its original

　　trunk that contains two trays full of Rolls-Royce tools, the wheel

　　wrench, hammer and spares. The luggage trunk has a black canvas

　　cover. The Boush & Lomb Optical Co. headlight lenses are perfect

　　and look terrific. The interior is highlighted with its beautiful

　　red leather which looks as new. It is soft and supple and is

　　comfortable and tight fitting. The matching red Wilton wool

　　carpeting also looks great and matches perfectly the leather. The

　　interior overall is gorgeous and in excellent condition. The

　　dashboard is very original, and all of the instruments and gauges

　　work as expected except the clock. The speedometer is set to kph

　　presently as an overlay over the original mph. The wood graining on

　　the dash could be refinished. It is well oiled, but the graining is

　　heavy. We show numerous photos in the photo gallery. The engine

　　compartment is gorgeous. The venerable and maive 7.4-liter

　　six-cylinder engine is very quiet and has incredible oil preure of

　　22-25 pounds. The operating temperature was fantastic, ranging from

　　140 to 160 degrees, in 95 degrees Fahrenheit ambient temperature

　　here in Phoenix! All of the instruments work well except the clock.

　　We show about six miles of touring in the Ghost in our test drive

　　videos, all performed in 95-degree weather. This Ghost has been

　　well set up for touring. Most of the chais lubrication fittings

　　have been replaced with modern Zirk fittings to make lubrication

　　easy. It has also been fitted with front and rear turn signals and

　　additional lighting. Luckily, being a late LHD Springfield chais,

　　this Ghost has a centralized lubrication system that makes normal

　　use ten times easier than an older Ghost. Included in the trunk are

　　the wheel wrench, proper lubrication syringe, hammer, spare spark

　　plugs and two full trays of period tools. We have this Silver Ghost

　　priced very fairly. This is a very rare occasion to have a

　　repatriated Ghost reenter the US market after such esteemed

　　existence. She comes complete with the spirit of ecstasy mascot as

　　well as the parking cap. Also included is the owners manual

　　specifically for the LHD Springfield Silver Ghost and the two

　　tonneau covers, tools and spares mentioned earlier. For more

　　information and details, please call or text Harry Clark at

　　is available for inspection at our Phoenix showroom. We are pleased

　　to offer FaceTime or WhatsApp live video inspections and we help

　　coordinate shipping worldwide. We also have financing partners if

　　you are interested in financing.
