Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Alpenfahrt Tour 2023

The 1913 Alpine Trial, or Alpenfahrt, was the sternest test in Europe of a car's engineering, reliability and performance in the pioneering days of motoring. Wounded by failing to finish the previous year after grinding to a halt on the infamous Katschberg Pass, James Radley returned in 1913 as one of the legendary 'Alpine Eagles'; four Rolls-Royce Silver Ghosts whose collective dominant performance ensured that the name of Rolls-Royce was written in legend in the early years of the automobile for their grace and their technical excellence. To mark the 110th anniversary of this incredible performance the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts Club Silver Ghost Register re-enacted this tour, but in a more leisurely fashion, over three weeks rather than the original 8 days. The tour was organised by Classic Travelling. http://classictravelling.com One of the cars that features in this film is chassis PB18, the Rolls-Royce that won the very last Alpenfahrt in 1914. Starting and finishing in Vienna, the tour followed the route through what is now Austria, Italy, Croatia and Slovenia and included all the important historic alpine passes and covered around 1850 miles.
