monster

for the most part avoided the luxury cars at the show, preferring vehicles regular folks could actually afford at the time...however, was taken by this monster engine, and apparently quite complex...this is the power plant of a 1924 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Tourer...surprisingly it was classed as only 40/50 hp, not much compared to even oompact cars today

It's a seven and a half liter straight six. Almost like an industrial photograph. Great detail!
