The Rolls Royce 20/25 built between 1929 and 1936 succeeded the 20HP Rolls Royce 'small car'. It was intended to appeal to owner drivers, but many were sold to customers with chauffeurs.

 

This example was purchased by MR S.M Spalding in September 1934 from Car Mart Ltd, Park Lane, London. Chassis #GYD20, engine number M7H features coachwork by Freestone & Webb, completed in July 1934.

 

The car passed through a number of owners during its lifetime. The most recent two owners have kept the complete history of the car with nine volumes detailing work carried out and associated costs, along with photos over 45 years.

 

It was purchased by the current from Oxen, UK in 2012 and now resides in Footscray, Australia.

 

The car number plate is the original, so when the car came to Australia, its original plates, first issued in 1934 were able to be retained.
