oldest Rolls-Royce car

The world's oldest Rolls-Royce car was sold out for a high record price of 3.5 million pounds ($7,275,000) at an auction in London at Monday.


The surviving oldest Rolls-Royce car, made in 1904, broke two records for the most expensive Rolls-Royce ever and the most expensive pre-1905 car.


The bidding of this oldest Rolls-Royce started at one million and soared from there. After a battle between two telephone bidders, the price of oldest Rolls-Royce end at the new record, and the vehicle got a new owner of a private British collector.


The previous record for a Rolls-Royce was the price created by the 1912 Silver Ghost Double Pullman Limousine for 1.48 million pounds (3.04 million dollars).


And the previous record for a veteran car was 1.76 million pounds for a 1884 De Dion Bouton.


This oldest 1904 Rolls Royce car is the only Rolls-Royce qualifying on the basis of its pre-1905 date to take part in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, which makes it extra special," said Tim Schofield, head of UK motor sales. And in 1954, the car first completed the prestigious London to Brighton Veteran Car Run.
