Chapter 1 Getting Established 1902-18 (Sports Car World Nov. 1958 p.15-17)’. Change Jeffrey ownership from ‘1940s’ to ‘1955’. During Jeffrey’s ownership the car was driven in the Mobilgas Economy Run by John Crouch, late 1956 (see Wheels Dec. 1956 p.80). Car to U.K. 1999. 2006 p.42. After ‘Melbourne’ add ‘. Fitted Gabriel exhaust horn from new’. In Markoff entry add date of purchase Oct. 1958 reg’d VIC-HBR-103 and later reg’d NSW-*XN-59 (Aust. Motor Sports Feb. 1961 p.39-41). The picture at the bottom of p.42 cannot be 2006 because axle radius arms at the rear can be detected and the car is thus in the 1100- 1699 series. The Nightingale whistle (horn) was known on 1404, 1500, 1554 and 2006. 1425 also shows signs that an exhaust whistle was probably fitted. All of these cars can be discounted, except 1404, as being elsewhere or with different bodies in this period. 2009 p.43. Move ‘the Misses F. & S. Wippell’ to p.42 before Falkiner; Wheeler had a blue/black sedan with Victoria Police engine no. V1179P reg’d VIC-268-812 on 21 Oct. 1938. 2018 p.43. Possibly the tourer photographed at Hampden Bridge, Kangaroo Valley, N.S.W., ca pre 1914 reg’d NSW?- 967? After ‘had been raised;’ add ‘large rear brakes and/or whole axle from later series fitted after 1989;’. 2068E p.43 or 2133 p.44. One of these might be the car advertised in the Sydney Morning Herald 1 Apr. 1931 as ‘Owing to the termination of a partnership…tourer, electric lights and starter, 6 wire wheels…low-set with sports 5-seater body in aluminium…battleship grey and black guards… W. T. Kelly, auctioneer, Riley St. [Sydney]’. 1912 Silver Ghost 1958 Holmes tourer with the Blair family in the 1920s. (Courtesy of Blair family via Jim Weir) 1912 Silver Ghost 1958 driven by John Crouch during the Mobilgas Economy Run in 1956. (Wheels Dec. 1956 p.80) 10 Rolls-Royce and Bentley in the Sunburnt Country - Supplement March 2010
Getting Established 1902-18 Chapter 1 1912 Silver Ghost 2142 Maythorn tourer with chauffeur Leonard Ernest Raven at the wheel. It is believed this shows the car virtually new and unregistered at the home of the first owner, W. J. Adams. It is certainly pre October 1914 when front diagonal stays were added to the frame. However, it also shows replacement wings with softer edges than the original which would indicate a slightly later photograph. (Courtesy of Mrs. Marge Raven) 1912 Silver Ghost 2142 in the ownership of Lebbeus Hordern, early 1920s, with its two-seater body fitted around 1919. It shows a later taper bonnet but retains the original Rudge Whitworth wheel hubs. Soon afterwards Dunlop wheels and hubs were fitted, Rushmore lamps fitted above the large CAV lamps and an electric horn fitted on the off-side wing. The reg’n was now NSW-23-297. See also 2317 for another picture including 2142. (Courtesy of the Mitchell Library, Hordern collection) 1912 Silver Ghost 2142 with a Wolseley and chauffeur Raven, photographed in the same setting as the earlier photograph and believed at the home of the owner, W. J. Adams. (Courtesy of Mrs. Marge Raven) Supplement March 2010 - Rolls-Royce and Bentley in the Sunburnt Country 2104 p.44. Martindale Hall is 90 miles north, not west, of Adelaide. 2133 p.44. Change ‘Rowe’ to ‘Septimus Godolphin Rowe (director of Bank of N.S.W., 1950s)’. See also under 2068E above. 2142 p.45. Leonard Ernest Raven (1887-1931) was born in England and in 1910 sailed to Australia as the employee of W. J. Adams of Sydney. On board was a non-Rolls-Royce car that Raven was to drive and maintain. In 1913, whilst Mr. and Mrs. Adams travelled to America, Raven was sent to England to the Rolls-Royce School of Instruction. He then drove and maintained their new car, 2142. After wartime service in France he returned to Australia and, probably after the death of Adams in 1921, worked as a chauffeur for several members of the Hordern family until 1924. 2145 p.45. Before ‘found’ add ‘Mr. Bosisto, S.A., 1950s;’. 2177 p.46. At end of entry add ‘Parts later with Faris Palfreyman. Gearbox, carrying no.2139, initially used for re-created car ‘2139’ in the 1990s using engine 44A (see 2142). ‘2139’ now known as ‘2142’ in the U.K. See under 1291 for a picture of 2177 as a hearse at a 1930 funeral. 11
