Henry Royce did not like his car, that ran badly and often | 76. |
broke down. So he decided to make a best car himself, | 77. |
and in 1904 he produced his first new model. Charles Rolls, | 78. |
a car maker, was very interested in Royce' s car, but soon | 79. |
Rolls arid Royce go into business together. One of their first | 80. |
model was the Silver Ghost. In 1907, a Silver Ghost broke the | 81. |
world’s record by drive 14,371 miles without breaking down | 82. |
once. After the drive, it was cost just over £ 2 to put the car | 83. |
back into perfect condition. This is not surprising that the Silver | 84. |
Ghost was regarded “the best car in the world”. | 85. |
