1936 Rolls-Royce 25-30 Sportsman's Saloon by H.J.Mulliner SOLD

This 1936 Rolls-Royce 25-30 HP, Chassis GGM10, is arguably one of the most elegant Rolls-Royce motor cars in Australia. The car has won many Rolls-Royce Owner's Club of Australia awards including the 2004 Concours d'Elegance Master Class, the 2003 Age and Authenticity York Motors Trophy, the 2003 Bert Ward Trophy, and the 2002 Concours d'Elegance Best Pre-War Car. In 2010 it was a prize winner at the prestigious 10. 10. 10 Concours d’Elegance, and finished runner up in its class at the 2017 Sydney Concours d’Elegance.

GGM10 was originally delivered in 1936 to Francis (""Frank"") Owen Salisbury (1874–1962), an English artist who made a fortune on both sides of the Atlantic and who was known as “Britain’s Painter Laureate” One of the greatest society artists of his generation Frank Salisbury is best known for his portraiture. He was famed for his speed in producing portraits which apparently stemmed from his painting his own twin daughters every morning for an hour. During his life he painted no fewer than 25 members of the Royal House of Windsor and he was the first artist to paint HM Queen Elizabeth II. He painted Winston Churchill more often than any other artist and one of these portraits is entitled ‘Blood Sweat and Tears’. He also painted General Montgomery of Alamein, Earl Mountbatten of Burma, Benito Mussolini and Jan Smuts, the South African Prime Minister. He was just as popular in the USA where he painted no fewer than six Presidents and all the financial giants of his day from John D. Rockefeller to Andrew William Mellon.

The FO Salisbury Rolls Royce, not surprisingly is a work of art itself. Royal blue with complementary grey leather interior, this Rolls Royce 25-30HP, which came off test in October 1936, has a very elegant aluminium sportsman’s saloon body (number 4339) by H. J. Mulliner.
