About this car

This 1934 Rolls-Royce 20/25 carries a Mann Egerton body in the 'Continental' style, closer to a sports saloon than a formal limousine. It has trouser-crease wings, a rear-mounted spare wheel, quarter bumpers and a top-opening boot.

The car is yellow with black wings and a leather-covered roof with a sliding sunroof. The interior is in pale tan leather. It has a stainless steel exhaust and an overdrive, which suits longer-distance driving. It is fitted with whitewall tyres, and the dealer says black-wall tyres can be fitted instead.

It is described as running well, serviced and newly MoT tested. Chassis number GRC81. It was originally registered BGF 890, and the dealer says that number may be available to reclaim. The chassis cards record early owners including a Sussex stockbroker and yachtsman, and later a Malayan rubber planter.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Rolls-Royce 20/25 chassis specification (3,699 cc OHV straight-six, built at Derby). Rolls-Royce never published power figures ('adequate'), and weight and performance depended on the Mann Egerton coachbuilt body, so these are null.).

Engine: 3,699 cc, 6 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
