Rolls-Royce Ghost Stars At World's Most Expensive Picnic

Rolls-Royce is the kind of company that takes its clients very seriously. We call them clients - not customers - because ownership of one of these vehicles means entry into a new echelon of society; access to an exclusive club of connoisseurs. The British luxury automaker recently invited members of the oldest Rolls-Royce car club in the world to attend a private viewing of the brand-newRolls-Royce Ghostjust three days after the model wasrevealed globally. The group of enthusiasts forms part of the 20-Ghost Club which is devoted solely to RR models from before 1940. All of the cars brought along - 20 of them to be exact - were built before 1936.

Despite all cars being at least 83 years old, each one arrived at the Home of Rolls-Royce under its own power. Interestingly, almost 75 percent of all Rolls models ever produced since the brand was founded in 1904 are still in perfect working order. We wonder if this includes those models that have been converted to runon electric power, but it's an impressive statistic nonetheless. Eventually, all Rolls-Royce carswill be fully electricanyway. Presumably, the owners of these classic Rolls models are willing to embrace the future if they came to see a car very different from anything they arrived in.
