About this car

This 1938 Rolls-Royce 25/30 carries a Thrupp & Maberly non-division saloon body and is offered as an unrestored, family-owned survivor. It was ordered new by a Mr Arthur Smith, and it is being sold on behalf of his great-granddaughter, who now lives in Australia.

The black cellulose paint and black leather interior are both stated to be original. Seat covers protect the front leather, and the car was specified with upgraded leather on the door cards. The original luggage, the complete tool kit in the boot lid and the factory guarantee, now framed, all remain with it. The dealer cites a guaranteed 72,000 miles from new.

Recent maintenance was carried out by RR&B, with servicing bills on file. The dealer reports that the engine starts instantly and runs quietly with good oil pressure. The car is UK-registered as EOE800, chassis GZR2.
