About this car

This is a 1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25 with Sedanca coachwork by Thrupp & Maberly, one of the best-known London coachbuilders of the period. The 20/25 was the company's mid-sized car of the early 1930s, and a coachbuilt body like this one makes it a good example of pre-war Rolls-Royce craftsmanship.

The car has been through a long nut-and-bolt restoration covering both mechanics and cosmetics, which took several years. The interior has been retrimmed, with satin-finish woodwork, which the dealer says is the correct finish and not the high gloss often seen on restored cars. The dealer describes the engine as silent.

It has won prizes in class at the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club national rally at Burghley House, and the dealer rates it a 100-point car. It is UK-registered as VTK777, with chassis number GRW27. The page does not give a mileage.
