The Appeal
The Rolls-Royce 20/25 was the most commercially successful model of the interwar years, with some 3,827 examples produced between 1929 and 1936. As with all Rollers of the era, the mechanical components and chassis were built at Crewe, with bodywork contracted out to all manner of distinguished coachbuilders.
The car's success was such that the marque weathered the Great Depression and became synonymous with luxury motoring through those tough times – for many, it was a byword for success and endurance. Make no mistake, this is a car with genuine period character, especially in the rarely seen Landaulette chauffeur body.
Fitted with coachwork by Barker & Co, this is a very handsome example believed to have had just two registered owners from new – indeed, it has been in the care of its current owner since 1969! Finished in burgundy over black, this highly evocative car is bound to turn plenty of heads and is well worth a look at auction. image.png4.75 MB
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
