Rolls-Royce 20hp Park Ward Limousine

The 20hp was Rolls-Royce's smaller car of the 1920s, aimed at owners who wanted a more manageable chassis than the Silver Ghost successor. This 1927 example carries a Park Ward limousine body, with twin occasional seats that fold out of the bulkhead to take seven passengers, and a cocktail cabinet between them.

The car has been with its current owner for 17 years, who ran a heavy plant business and had his own workshop look after it. It has been used sparingly. The seller describes the engine as smooth and tidy, and the car as comfortable at 40 to 50mph.

The paintwork is black over a very light cream, and the interior has been retrimmed in coffee brown leather at some point in recent decades. The woodwork is described as original. The spare wheel is side-mounted, with provision to move it to the rear if the luggage rack isn't fitted. The dealer also has an unrestored sister car in stock, which makes a useful comparison. Chassis number GAJ71, registered BF4133.
