Rolls-Royce 20/25 3 Position Drophead By Coachcraft

This 1932 Rolls-Royce 20/25 carries coachwork by Coachcraft that was fitted to chassis GMU6 in 1939. It is a three-position drophead, so the hood can be fully up, fully down or held in the half-furled sedanca position. The Southern Motor Company described it as a Dorchester de luxe foursome drophead coupe in its advert for the 1939 Olympia show. The dealer rates the body as rarer and more elegant than the more common Gurney Nutting equivalent.

The car is finished in two shades of green over dark green leather and carpets. The interior woodwork has been removed and refinished to a high gloss. Fittings include a central spotlamp, a pair of trumpet horns, Lucas P80 headlamps and duotone Ace wheel discs with hand-applied pinlines. The spare wheel is mounted in the boot lid, and the grey canvas hood is described as in good order.

It has been registered in both Austria (VL397CM) and the UK (GY7495) and is part of a large Austrian collection that the dealer has been asked to sell. It has been used regularly for short runs in the Austrian Alps. The car is viewable near Velden in Austria. The page gives no mileage.
