A 100-year-old Silver Ghost Rolls-Royce could fetch £2MILLION at auction

One of the rarest Rolls-Royce cars ever created is expected to fetch £2million when it goes up for auction.

The 1912 Double Pullman Limousine - or 'Corgi' as it became known - is one of the most recognisable of the company's famed 'Silver Ghost' production to survive.

The car acquired its nickname after the toy maker copied it for a range in the 1960s - and it is thought to be the only one of its type in existence.

Another article I read compared it to the Ant Hill Mob's vehicle from Wacky Races.

This isn't the article that I saw in my Sunday paper. Can't find it via google. Only could find this one. www.bentleyspotting.com/2012/01/wacky-races.html
