EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time when the iconic Silver Ghost Rolls Royce takes center stage at a rally in Cheshire, England, circa 1960. The renowned artist CM Dixon skillfully immortalizes this vintage car, which holds a significant place in British automotive history. The Silver Ghost Rolls Royce was originally manufactured at the Royces Manchester works before production shifted to Derby in July 1908. This particular model's development was temporarily halted during World War I but found new purpose as its chassis and engine were repurposed for use in Rolls-Royce Armoured Cars. In this image, we witness the timeless elegance of the Silver Ghost as it gracefully navigates through an outdoor rally setting. Its sleek design and polished exterior symbolize both luxury and power, making it an object of desire for automobile enthusiasts even today. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a bygone era - the swinging sixties - where motor sports and rallying were gaining popularity. The road ahead is filled with excitement and adventure, mirroring the spirit of progress that defined that era. Through Mike Dixon's lens, we can almost hear the roar of engines and feel the thrill of being on the move. This artwork serves as a reminder of Britain's rich automotive heritage while also celebrating timeless craftsmanship that continues to inspire generations of car enthusiasts worldwide.
