1928 Rolls Royce 20hp Gurney Nutting Weyman Saloon
Chassis number: GBM60
Registration number:PY9127
A stunningly restored car in concourse show condition. This car wears a Gurney Nutting Weyman saloon body. originally fitted to a 4 ½ litre Bentley reg no. KL3579 which was converted to Le Mans spec. The body woud fit equally well on a 6. 5 litre or8 litre chassis should a W. O. Bentley owner be looking for an original saloon body. The interior is beautifully kitted out & trimmed in beige leather with all the original Gurney Nutting woodwork in situ.
In 2007 GBM60 underwent a major Chassis rebuild taking some 9 months by its RREC member owner. Since then it has covered a 700 mile rally in 2008 and toured some 3000 miles in 2009 suffice to say “she drives like a Rolls Royce”. The car comes with a detailed photographic history of the restoration along with a comprehensive set of notes & bills detailing the huge expenditure.
The body is finished in Maroon fabric to the lower portions & black fabric to the roof areas. wings & bonnet are both painted in black; paint & fabric being in perfect condition.
To the inside is superb tobacco coloured leather again in perfect condition. The Seating by J Gurney Nutting is opulence in itself. making the cabin a lovely place to be. The engine bay is detailed to show standards with the car as a whole being a credit to its restorer. The body suits the car beautifully & is very light so as not to impede performance. Sir Henry would have approved. A capacious trunk sits on the rear of the car; the spare wheel being side mounted.
