 Yes, I think it is a Rolls-Royce 40/50 "Silver Ghost".

 I agree with Rolls-Royce 40/50 h.p. 'Silver Ghost'.

The coachwork looks very much like a ca. 1910 Roi de Belges.

 Is it useful to have a so long name? Only "Silver Ghost" in the model name and the full name in the comments would be OK I think, like the other than you sent me some time ago:

 Well, the title is rather long. I had some problems getting it into the field. ;)

The difficulty with cars of that era is, that there are always two companies involved, one building the chassis and engine (sometimes even this comes from a third party) and the other doing the coachwork.

In this case the chassis and engine are:
Rolls-Royce 40/50 h.p. 'Silver Ghost'

The coachwork is (probably):
Barker of London 'Roi de Belges' Open Tourer

With such nice cars one gets rather long names. ;)

Actually Silver Ghost is only a name adopted after the silver coloured RR seen here
/vehicle_11202-Rolls-Royce-Silver+Ghost-1907.html
made his record run. The official name, or perhaps I should say denomination, is 40/50 h.p.

 OK :)

By the way, in correct French it would be "Roi des Belges", not "Roi de Belges", that's strange :??: (on internet, both are found for this car)

 Probably there are other people like me with very little knowledge of correct French grammar. :)
