About this car

This 1934 Rolls-Royce 20/25 carries Sedanca Coupé coachwork by Gurney Nutting. The removable Sedanca sidearms locate rigidly, so the hood stays rattle-free, and a sliding sunroof lets the car run either enclosed or open. Chassis GYD-55 was originally numbered GED-4. The factory renumbered it after it received the new controllable shock absorbers and an expanding-type carburettor.

Build sheets show it was supplied new through Jack Barclay to F. O. Salisbury of London in May 1935. It was specified with a long chassis and F-rake steering, for fast touring. Later owners included A. H. Walton, G. Taylor from 1947 and John Enstone from 1958.

The current owner bought it in 2019 after a complete restoration. Penny Vintage Carriages, Taylors of Chichester, Fiennes Restoration and Richard James Upholstery all worked on it. The owner then had the dealer service and recommission the car for long-distance touring, and fit an overdrive. It is finished in silver with red hide upholstery. No mileage is stated.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Rolls-Royce chassis specification (3,669 cc OHV straight-six, built in Derby). Rolls-Royce never published power figures (only 'sufficient'). Weight and performance depended on each car's coachbuilt body, so no factory figures exist for them.).

Engine: 3,669 cc, 6 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
