*Present ownership since 2014
*Extensive professional renovation undertaken
*Over £49,000 spentThe introduction of a smaller Rolls-Royce, the 20hp, in 1922 enabled the company to cater for the increasingly important owner-driver market that appreciated the quality of Rolls-Royce engineering but did not need a car as large as a 40/50hp Ghost or Phantom. A development of the 20hp, the 20/25hp debuted in 1929, early chassis, apart from an enlarged and revised engine, being identical to those of the final Twentys. Thus the 20/25 inherited the right-hand gearchange lever and servo-assisted brakes introduced on its predecessor for 1926, as well as Phantom-style vertical radiator shutters. Produced concurrently with the Phantom II, the 20/25 benefited from many of the larger model's improvements, such as synchromesh gears and centralised chassis lubrication, becoming the best-selling Rolls-Royce of the inter-war period.
Since the current ownership of this 20/25 commenced in 2014, extensive mechanical renovation has been undertaken by Rolls-Royce specialists A & S Engineering and Wilton Morgan – engine, suspension, steering, new wiring loom, upgraded clutch, etc - while bodywork renovation has been completed by SuperSpray Bodyshop. Over £49,000 has been spent on the car's refurbishment since 2014 and all receipts are available. A history file was professionally prepared by Classic Vehicle History and comes with the car.
