Text 4. MOTOR CAR CLUBS AND MUSEUMS

There are about 3,000 Americans who like to collect antique cars.

They have several clubs such as Antique Automobile Club and Veteran Motor Car Club, which specialize in rare models.

The clubs practice meetings where members can exhibit their cars.

Collectors can also advertise in magazines published by their clubs.

Some magazines specialize in a single type of car such as glorious Model ”T”

In England there is the famous Beaulieu Motor Museum - the home for veteran cars. There is a car called The Knight in this museum. It is the first British petrol-driven car. Its top speed was only 8 mph.

The founder of the Museum is Lord Montagu, the son of one of England's motoring pioneers, who opened it in 1952 in memory of his father. Lord Montagu's father was the first person in England to be fined by the police for speeding. He was fined 5 pounds for going faster than 12 miles per hour.

In the Museum's collection there is a car called the Silver Ghost.

It was built by Rolls-Royce in 1907 and called the Silver Ghost because it ran so silently and was painted silver.

Charles Rolls was born in 1881 in Great Britain. He died in 1910.

He was an aristocrat and businessman. He was especially interested in cars. Once he met another enthusiast of cars Henry Royce.

Henry Royce was a famous car engineer. They decided to design the most comfortable and reliable car.

At the beginning of the 20th century it seemed to be a fantasy. But they worked hard and at last in 1907 they created the world-famous Rolls-Royce car. It was so comfortable and reliable that one of the models of Rolls-Royce cars "Silver Ghost" hadn't changed greatly for 20 years since 1907.
