Pereyra Iraola family's 1910 Rolls-Royce displayed at Autoclásica

A 1910 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost 40/50 HP, owned by the Pereyra Iraola family, is being displayed for the first time at the Autoclásica exhibition at the Hipódromo de San Isidro in Argentina.

The luxury vehicle, which features an Edwardian English engine and chassis with a Belle Époque French body, has a notable history. The Pereyra Iraola family had planned to transport the car from England to the United States via a cruise from Southampton to New York, but the voyage was interrupted by the sinking of the Titanic.

Currently guarded by Jorge and Fabián Pereyra Iraola, the vehicle has survived wars, relocations, and numerous high-value offers to remain intact for over a century.
