I my opinion you won't find another car like this anywhere else, this 20-25 was a one-off build; it truly is beautiful and a real head turner. I bought this 1930 Rolls-Royce Barrel sided Tourer with a Barker body 5 years ago. The car has only travelled about 150 km in that time, but I have still had it serviced. The only reason I am selling, is because I have suffered a mayor back injury and cannot drive this beautiful car any longer. I have added the four airhorns, front spot lamp (not wired in at the moment), luggage box and picnic set the wheel mounted mirror, extra tools, the chrome tail pipe cover, new battery, with an isolator switch, chrome side spotlight.
When I bought it, it had been Just restored & rebuilt with a brand-new Barker style barrel sided tourer
body exhibiting perfectly proportioned lines. This car was purchased by
the previous late owner who devoted many years to its restoration &
reconstruction. The car was stripped to its bare chassis & all parts
either renovated or replaced as required. Once the mechanics were
done the current elegant barrel sided tourer body was constructed
using an English wheel to a very high standard.
Respendent in cream over putty-coloured wings, over all the paintwork is as
new but has some small paint chips. The interior is brand new deep red Hide throughout with all
woodwork being from light coloured beech wood. Red carpets are
installed under foot. A full-length black mohair hood easily erects &
there are also a full set of side screens fitted for use during inclement
weather. It has a signed mascot; a rear luggage rack is fitted with a luggage box and a full 1930's picnic set. It has a running board mounted.
spare wheel, with stirrup mirror attached. It also has I tool kit on the running board. I have two full files on all the work that has been carried out on the vehicle.
Below is the vehicle information send to me by V&P classic cars in the UK, when I bought it.
On the road the car drives very well. The engine is very quiet &
powerful. The car runs cool at 50 or so degrees as the radiator has
been record in the correct honeycomb style pattern. The kingpins &
suspension has also been fully overhauled resulting in a supple ride &
taut play free direct steering.
To the rear is a large drinks cabinet which folds open to also serve as a
picnic table. When shut it displays a covering of hand tooled leather.
Each door has fold open storage lockers for hip flasks or other touring
requisites.
Overall the car is in freshly built brand new condition & is a credit to its
late engineer and owner, which estate we are selling it. We are
currently conducting a full service & set up on the car so it will be
absolutely ready for immediate extended use.
