In 1907, the new company Rolls-Royce prepared its new car, later known as the Silver Ghost, for the Scottish reliability trials. Immediately afterwards, the car began a 15,000-mile test that included driving between London and Glasgow 27 times. The aim was to show the reliability and quietness of the car.
The car was the origin of the phrase “the best car in the world,” which was coined not by Rolls-Royce but by the magazine Autocar in 1907.
