1933 ROLLS-ROYCE 20/25HP SALOON COACHWORK BY H.J.MULLINER Registration No. AGT 333 Chassis No. GWX 46 Engine No. A8M Two-tone cream with beige leather and cloth interior Engine: six cylinder, overhead valve, 3,699cc; Gearbox: four speed manual; Brakes: four wheel drum; Suspension: semi-elliptic. Right hand drive. The post World War I recession of 1920 persuaded Rolls-Royce to abandon their one model policy and offer a smaller car more suited to the economic climate and in 1922 the 20HP model was introduced. This new car retained all the virtues of the Silver Ghost, but was smaller and cheaper, and was very much an owner-driver vehicle. It was a commercial success and the six cylinder monobloc overhead valve design with detachable cylinder head in unit with the clutch and gearbox was to become the basis of all future six cylinder cars until the 1950s. The contemporary Phantom II was in effect a larger version of the 20HP which, with continued evolutionary changes, became the 20/25 in 1929. The increased 3.6-litre capacity gave brisk performance and greater flexibility in top gear. This fine Rolls-Royce was purchased new by The Hon. Clive Pearson of Parham Park, Pulborough and has remained with his family since. In recent years it has been displayed at the Grampian Transport Museum in Aberdeenshire and is only being sold now due to space restrictions at the museum. The car is said to be in good mechanical condition has recently been serviced and passed its MoT. The bodywork is described as being in good, original condition, but the interior is rather tatty, although also original. NO RESERVE
