Starting with a 1914 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost special "London to Edinburgh" E-series chassis with higher compression engine, larger actual rear wheel lined brakes and other performance upgrades, it was given to coachbuilder Henri Labourdette for a nautical themed skiff body of triple mahogany slats over an ash wood frame with copper rivets. The car exists today, meticulously restored and has been shown at numerous events.
Model by Franklin Mint.

- Thanks Rich, now I've got to do some investigation on this RR because I'm interested in finding out what that big metal looking box is in the middle of the dashboard. It seems like it continues through the firewall into the engine compartment.

@100ford2003 It looks like it has enough push buttons for an AM/FM radio which would qualify it as an anachronism.

I like Steve am curious about that central instrument. Heater, early timing device?

Not something I would collect, but the photos really make it look nice.

A great-looking Rolls-Royce in this nautical- themed look. Very nice one !

Why do Rich's photos ALWAYS look better than holding the actual model in my hand???
