The car that made Rolls-Royce's reputation. The 40/50 horsepower model appeared in 1906, and the name came from one silver-painted example that ran thousands of miles in 1907 trials almost without fault. Smooth, quiet and long-lived, it stayed in production until the mid-1920s and served as an armoured car in wartime.
