Description
This 1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25 (chassis #GSY9) was initially fitted with sports saloon coachwork from Hooper & Co. before being re-bodied as a shooting brake during the war effort in 1941. The original cabin was reportedly recycled when the British government was organizing aluminum scrap drives to help with the manufacturing of aircraft and other armaments. A new five-door ash and mahogany body was subsequently commissioned from Mascot Motor Works in London. The car was imported to the US under previous ownership and has undergone a refurbishment in the past decade. It is n ow finished in Sage Green over tan Connolly leather and is p owered by a 3.7-liter OHV inline-six backed by a 4-speed manual gearbox. Upgrades include a Gear Vendors overdrive, Pertronix ignition, and a modern diaphragm clutch. The selling dealer’s client purchased the car approximately 10 years ago, and it was the recipient of a 1st place Pre-War Touring Division award from the Rolls-Royce Owner’s Club last year. This 20/25 is now offered with records and a clear California title.
