Chapter 1 Getting Established 1902-18 Page 1. Isaac Phizackerley claimed the Rolls-Royce sole agency on his body plates of ca 1908-11 along with Talbot, Minerva, Argyll and Standard. He first sold bicycles at 359 George Street for many years before moving to showrooms at 169-171 Elizabeth Street. (This was once the site of the Hyde Park Livery Stables of Wood Bros., later known as Wood Coffill Ltd.) The building was double-frontaged onto Castlereagh Street, as mentioned in ‘Sunburnt’, and it was at this end that the Automobile Club had some proper accommodation on the first floor. The Club had first rented a room at Challis House. Phizackerley records for 1911-27 survive in South Australia and do not list any Rolls-Royces. This lends support to the view that Kellow’s east coast agency ran from 1910 and not 1908 after all. Therefore Phizackerley would have been N.S.W. agent until early 1910 at the latest, and with only 60799 as a confirmed sale. (Thanks to David Manson for this amplification.) 40509 p.6. Add ‘reg’d VIC-876’. On p.9, end of second line, add new information about this car: Kellow-Falkiner sold the car in 1947 to Bruce T. Myers of 20 Water St., Ballarat, Vic., a very young Bugatti and Bentley enthusiast. They stipulated that the car should be made available to them for displays but the car was not running and was never actually removed from the Kellow-Falkiner pemises by Myers. In late April 1948 Myers ‘gave’ it to John Troxell of Narberth, Pennsylvania as “one of two models missing from Mr. Troxell’s collection of vintage English carriages”. Troxell shipped the car from Melbourne in May 1948 to D. Cameron Peck of Chicago, U.S.A. for £A225 plus costs. Its engine number was noted as ‘T95’ (actually a part number) and the body was black. Peck sold the car in the 1950s and the Harrah Collection in Nevada bought it in 1972. Thus the history of the car is complete from new to the present day. Peck bought at least one other car in Melbourne in the 1940s, including a 15 h.p. Hispano-Suiza from Lyndon Duckett. (1948 information courtesy of the Detroit Public Library.) 1906 20 h.p. 40509 photographed on Melbourne docks in May 1948, remarkably intact. Note the added ventilation panels in the bonnet top.

Getting Established 1902-18 Chapter 1 1907 Silver Ghost 60589 with its early 1920s Australian tourer body shortly before being partexchanged in 1925 for 20 h.p. GLK57. The chauffeur is Wilfred Facey. The modernised car shows a raised radiator, rounded and tapered bonnet to suit the fine tourer body. The wheels date from 1912. (Courtesy of Graham Facey, via George Forbes) Supplement March 2010 - Rolls-Royce and Bentley in the Sunburnt Country 40532 p.9. Add ‘reg’d VIC-1-887 or 1-900’. The Argus 31 Jan 1925 p.4 noted an auction by Linacre’s of Melbourne which included a Rolls-Royce, chassis only, with Star back axle. 60589 p.13. Add ‘reg’d VIC-534’. Delete ‘In September 1927 it was still owned by his wife’ and insert ‘Rebodied for Currie as a tourer, 1920s. (As Currie lived near Ballarat it is possible the coachbuilder was Cutter.) Part exchanged for GLK57 in late 1925. Mrs. Currie’s chauffeur at this time was Wilfred Facey’. Page 2, 2 nd paragraph: it is now known that an earlier veteran car run took place in May 1933, organised by the Victorian Light Car Club (The South Australian Motor May 1933 p.13). No Rolls-Royce participated on this occasion. 60739 p.13. After ‘Niall’ add ‘reg’d VIC-19’ . 60747 p.14. After ‘Staughton...Vic.,’ add ‘reg’d VIC-1-481;’ Delete ‘He had probably ... car’ and insert ‘Now believed not to be a Rolls-Royce’. After ‘McGuigan...1930s’ add ‘reg’d VIC-10*’ and ‘rebodied as a 1920s tourer’. The recreated car referred to at the end is believed to be based on 60757, see below. 60749 p.15. Change ‘Bellerine’ to ‘Bellarine’. Add ‘Rebodied by Waring or Flood as a tourer ca 1929’. 3
