Circa 1923/4 Brooks-Ostruk (ex Rolls Royce Silver Ghost) body

Reg. No.: n/a

Chassis no.n/a

Engine No.: n/a

This body was purchased by the vendor on a 1920 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost chassis, and has been stored in a barn for the past 42 years. The coachbuilders were Brooks-Ostruk who supplied bodies mainly for Minervas and Isotta Fraschinis. They also supplied bodies for Rolls Royce with their own name plates and were of great quality.

Although no absolute year of manufacture can be attributed to the body, the detailing, especially the anti-glare windscreen makes it most likely to have been built in 1923/4.

Unfortunately this one has suffered from the ravages of an open fronted barn. The steel wings can only be considered suitable for patterns, and the scuttle forward of the windscreen must be totally reframed. The rest of the body, although cosmetically distressed, is structurally sound. The cost of having such a body frame and doors made to this standard, should be considered by potential bidders. It offers the right sort of person with the necessary drive and skills, a rare opportunity to restore an original body and mate it with a suitable chassis. It will also be potentially rewarding saving an original body from further decay.
