Four wheel servo assisted brakes became optional on the Silver Ghost in 1923. Despite these improvements the performance of the Silver Ghost's competitors had improved to the extent that its previous superiority had been eroded by the early 1920s. Sales declined from 742 in 1913 to 430 in 1922, and the company decided to launch its replacement. Rolls-Royce Limited was still building the car at Derby and Springfield.
