Unveiled in 1922, the 20hp was introduced after World War One to meet the growing demand for smaller cars. Produced alongside the Silver Ghost, it was crafted to the same exacting standards despite the increase in production numbers. The 3.1-litre, six-cylinder monobloc engine featured overhead valves with unit construction gearbox, single plate clutch and open shaft with spiral bevel drive. The chassis proved extremely versatile in accepting a wide range of body styles from the coachbuilders of the day; Windovers Ltd being engaged to produce the elegant limousine coachwork adorning chassis GWL 22 offered here.
