Opposite Top: The manual permanent swivelling jacks seen from the front on one of the Ghosts. Opposite Center: The garage at Childwall Hall in 1919. (l–r) Probably the 100 hp Benz (with a bulbous coupe body like Rapson’s later Rolls-Royces) used for tests at Brooklands, and Silver Ghosts LE4107 (probably chassis 1737), LR6392 (21CB) and K294 (5EB). Rapson’s men in the foreground are checking his top winding system on a body frame. Opposite Bottom: The garage at The Bothy, Ottershaw Park, in the early 1920s. From the left, Daimler XA2722, Silver Ghost coupe 70JG (now PB7863), the second Silver Ghost coupe 21CB, an A.C., the 1911 Ghost cabriolet (possibly 1911 chassis 1737), and the bulbous coupe on the 100 hp Benz, seen in the 1919 Childwall Hall image. Other cars were absent on this occasion such as the 1922 40 hp. Lanchester registered PD6682 and Silver Ghost 70YE. The building survives but without the glass canopy. Some of the Schintz cars used by Rapson for tire and accessory promotion, and his four chauffeurs, during 1921. (l–r) At The Bothy, 1915 Silver Ghost bulbous coupe LR6392 (21CB), Daimler XA2722, Ghost LE4107 (i.e. probably 1737), a Lanchester cabriolet, 1921 Napier PB8232, 1921 Ghost PB7863 bulbous coupe (70JG) and 1920 Ghost PC5877 (70YE). Most of the cars carry Rapson’s eagle mascot. This image also appeared in the Daily Mirror during the early thirties coverage of Miss Schintz’s court case. Two of Rapson’s cars, Silver Ghost 21CB and the 100 hp Benz (with registration ending in 47), joined for tire tests by a 12 hp ABC and 14 hp Sunbeam on the left. ©The ©The Rolls-Royce Rolls-Royce Owners Owners Club, Club, Inc.
