This hand-painted bronze sculpture by Stanley Wanlass depicts a couple out for a drive in their 1912 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. The model for this sculpture was the famous London-to-Edinburgh Tourer, “The Mystery,” chassis number 1826E, which succeeded the original “Silver Ghost” in the stable of Rolls-Royce managing director Claude Johnson. This is one of the more rarely seen and difficult-to-acquire Wanlass bronzes.
