I spotted this 1912 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost which belongs to Katie Forrest after her father owned it and clocked up an impressive 75,000 miles

It is a different spec to the usual Silver Ghosts, being delivered new by Rolls Royce Bombay for use in India, to quote the Classic Driver Article:

“She’s got a tropical electrical system to deal with the heat, is higher off the ground to cope with the terrain, and has chain-mail mudguards to stop errant oxen hooves from flicking up and striking the well-to-do passengers inside,” Katie explains. Nellie was promptly bought by the Maharaja of Nabha, with whom she remained until the early 1990s when Katie’s father acquired her after a two-year search for the right Silver Ghost with which to tackle a special Alpine rally. 

“When he found her, it was love at first sight,” recalls Katie. “She certainly wasn’t in the state she’s in now – she’d been shut away for decades and had been painted a sort of battleship grey by the RAF, who commandeered her briefly during World War 1.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, Katie spent a vast amount of her childhood in the back of the Rolls-Royce with her sister, travelling all across England, Europe, and even Australia. In fact, since joining the family, Nellie’s travelled in excess of 75,000 miles.
