Chapter 2 The Boom Years of the 1920s 57AU p.118-119. Delete ‘with California hard top’ in entry and caption. The Cramp rebody retained the Jackson, Jones & Collins wings, running boards and spare wheel mounting, with Packard (?) main body and replacement rounded bonnet. 67AU p.119. H. B. Gilchrist, Bomaderry, N.S.W., 1940s, offered for sale in Canberra Times 7 May 1947, £725 in cream and black 125AU p.120. Chauffeur was John Hughes; add new owner ‘; David Berthon, N.S.W., 1998’. 40EU p.120. In Rolls-Royce and Barker records the first owner is T. A. Stirton, not Stanton. California top body from new. Playfair was Edmund Strathmore (‘Strath’) Playfair, a wholesale meat merchant and son of Edmund Playfair who owned Ghost 1230. The controversial 1924 Ghost 47AU seen in Sydney in mid 1926 now bodied for the first time as a Smith & Waddington tourer, used as a demonstrator. In Sunburnt Country it was thought the car was only bodied three years after the first owner in Victoria refused delivery (because the engine boiled) but clearly it was two years or less. (AutoMotor Journal 22 July 1926 p.553) 1924 Silver Ghost 47AU touring in the mountains, published in Rolls- Royce Bulletin Oct. 1930 p.19. 1924 Silver Ghost 57AU in the 1930s at Mt.

The Boom Years of the 1920s An official Barker photograph of the first body on 1925 Silver Ghost 40EU, a California top type. Views of 1924 Silver Ghost 64EU Smith & Waddington tourer in the U.S., 2002, prior to its repatriation to Australia. The interior woodwork is of great interest but the upholstery is believed to be more recent and in a different form. 64EU p.121. Body no. 3302. Supplement March 2010 - Rolls-Royce and Bentley in the Sunburnt Country Chapter 2 Page 122: Insert new chassis, ‘122EU off test in 1925. The Australian mining magnate W. S. Robinson, based in England, also owned this car in the U.K. It was a Windovers limousine, latterly used by Mrs. W. S. Robinson, but in 1928 was rebodied as a Gill fixed head coupe.’ Although strictly outside the scope of this supplement it is worth recording that in 2001 the car came to Australia for the first time when bought by Robinson’s great-grandson Denis Deasey. Robinson’s son bought 20 h.p. GHJ37 (q.v.) for use in England. 20 h.p. p.123. A story is known of a 20 h.p. front axle being used on an Indianapolis Ballot in 1926-27. The Ballot had destroyed its rear axle but when seen in August 1926 with Don Harkness it seemed no longer to have front wheel brakes and thus for a time, perhaps, the claimed 20 h.p. front (not rear) axle. See Motor Life 12 Feb. 1927. 27
