Ghost is the name that Rolls-Royce gave to one of their earliest cars, the Silver Ghost of 1906. At the time, it embodied the spirit of Rolls-Royce that has endured to this day, namely, to slip by as silently and efficiently as possible, much like an apparition. This 2012 Rolls-Royce Ghost hails from the first generation of contemporary Ghost, which was introduced in 2009. With 33,125 miles on the clock, it’s a relatively lightly used example and totally belies its 10 years of age. That’s the thing about Rolls-Royces – they are timeless. Read on to find out why this one deserves your consideration and a space in your garage.

Sporting a Midnight Sapphire paintjob, this 2012 Rolls-Royce Ghost is well equipped to slip through the night, rolling on its 20-inch chromed alloy wheels with self-righting RR center caps. Its adaptive headlighting will pierce the darkness, and the chromed visible exhaust allows the monstrous powerplant beneath the hood to breathe easily, albeit not in a noisy fashion – that would be uncouth and unbefitting of a Rolls-Royce. The Spirit of Ecstasy mascot proudly adorns the top of the grille, and if you try to meddle with it while the car is parked, it will disappear within the grille in the blink of an eye as an anti-theft measure. Enter the car via the comfort access and if you’re a rear seat passenger, you’ll notice the rear-hinged coach doors. The predominant color theme is called Seashell in Rolls-Royce parlance, with Dark Wenge trim, seat piping, and the RR logo on all seats. Extended leather and door pocket lighting has been specified on this car, and if you look down as you cross the threshold, you’ll notice the polished stainless steel tread plates. Rear passengers also get their own climate zone and picnic tables. A panoramic sunroof allows everyone to enjoy the sunlight, and front seat occupants receive electrically adjustable seats with massage function, their own climate zone, and a sophisticated infotainment system to play with. The driver faces a trio of white-backed dials, with the notable absence of a tachometer. In its place is a power reserve dial. A front and rear camera system means that maneuvering and parking this 213-inch car is made as easy as possible.
What dark magic lies beneath the hood of this 2012 Rolls-Royce Ghost that enables it to slip swiftly yet seamlessly? That’s the job of the twin-turbocharged, BMW-derived 6.6L V12 engine that produces 562hp and 575lb-ft to the rear wheels via an ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. This means that zero to sixty is easily a sub-5 second affair, and the top speed has been electronically capped at 155mph.
A recent trend in the car industry is the popularity of SUVs. They are everywhere and most brands want a piece of the SUV cake. But we seem to forgotten the where real luxury started – The mighty Luxo Barge. This is 2023 Rolls Royce Ghost Black Badge with just 8,600 miles on the odometer is not for setting hot lap records around the nurburgring, but instead cruising down the Autobahn at max velocity. The Ghost name has been around since the early 2010s and it has been a worthy stablemate to the mighty Phantom.
“In a class of its own” is a phrase that is often used to describe Rolls-Royce automobiles, and in 2009, Rolls-Royce decided to bring that class to a slightly different type of buyer than they usually catered to. The Ghost was released in 2009 to appeal to the younger demographic of wealthy car buyers and to those who were looking for an alternative to a V12 Mercedes S-Class or a Bentley Continental Flying Spur. The Ghost was aimed at buyers who wanted a comfortable limousine to be chauffeured around in but one that they could also drive themselves when they felt like it. It may be based on the BMW L6 platform, but make no mistake, this is not merely a 7 Series in a fancy dress. Both mechanically and cosmetically this is still very characteristically a Rolls-Royce.
Even the world’s best luxury automaker, Rolls-Royce, wasn’t immune from the SUV tsunami that gripped the automotive world. However, when you’re sitting at the top of the hierarchy of luxury, you’ve got to give it your best – and then some. That’s why Rolls-Royce took their own sweet time, only entering the luxury SUV game in 2018 with the Cullinan. Named after the largest rough diamond ever discovered to date, the Cullinan is the brand’s first SUV, and their first all-wheel drive vehicle. And as you’d expect, it’s every bit a Rolls-Royce. Don’t believe us? Buy this 2021 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge with a smidge less than 20,000 miles on the clock, and you’ll never settle for anything less.
Rolls-Royce is the ultimate aspirational point for most people, regardless of their level of knowledge about cars. The brand name gets entrenched in the minds of small children as the best luxury car in the world. Then, they see the iconic logo and Spirit of Ecstasy radiator grille mascot, and soon learn to recognize it. The best part is, it’s not marketing flattery and fluff. Rolls-Royce enjoys such reverence because they make exceptional cars. They go to great lengths to satisfy owners, with myriad customization avenues available. They were one of the last automakers in the world to stubbornly cling on to traditional coachbuilding techniques, long after many others had shifted to mass production and automated manufacturing. That’s why when you buy a car such as this 1971 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, you’re buying a legacy, a piece of history, and something truly amazing. This car comes with a few enhancements, but retains its Rolls-Royce spirit, something that’s truly inimitable.
Rolls-Royce is well known to be the most luxurious automaker in the world. With a rich history spanning over a decade, the Silver Spirit is one of their best-known icons of the Eighties and Nineties. This was the first Rolls-Royce to feature a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy hood mascot. The spring-loaded mascot would swiftly disappear into the grille if tampered with. Hence, Rolls-Royce owners could now rest easy in the knowledge that souvenir hunters and jealous punters couldn’t get their hands on one of the car’s most desirable aspects. That’s just one of many reasons of why you should consider taking on ownership of this 1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit. The car comes with a reportedly original mileage of just 62,100, and has received some new parts to keep it humming along smoothly.
