Rolls-Royce Celebrated A Successful 2013 Centenary Alpine Trial
After 16 days and more than 1,800 miles, the 2013 Centenary Alpine Trial drew to a close. With the sight of 47 amazing Silver Ghosts gliding their way through the Alps, will live in the memories of the people who saw the spectacle at first hand. History was brought to life by the gallant owners as they drove their machines with skill up the Alpine passes and across the borders of five countries, before emerging in Vienna just as the original competitors did 100 years before. This year's Centenary Alpine Trial was also graced by British Royalty, Lords and Ladies, Ambassadors and participants from 12 countries.
“The Centenary Alpine Trial has clearly embraced the Spirit of Adventure that is synonymous with Rolls-Royce, and I applaud the participants for their resolve and determination,” said Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO. “The 1913 Alpenfahrt led commentators to declare that Rolls-Royce built the ‘Best Car in the World’. The 2013 Centenary Alpine Trial reinforced that message, and demonstrated that the Company continues to do so to this day.”
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars was presented with the Archduke Leopold Salvator trophy by the 20‑Ghost Club, in recognition of the spirit the Company had shown in supporting and actively participating in the Trial. The trophy, a precious claret jug, was one of the original awards presented to Rolls-Royce at the 1913 Alpenfahrt.
