This 1934 Rolls-Royce 20/25 with Park Ward landaulette coachwork was exhibited in the 1934 Olympia Motor Show and dispatched to Vincents of Reading for first owner Mrs Warner of Newbury. By 1946, it was being used as a taxi by a Leeds garage until retirement in 1965...when taken off the road...where it remained until 1988 when discovered in a Wakefield garden by Dr Ken Brittan who sold it for restoration to a vicar in Malvern, where it was dismantled, but never put back together. In 1995, the previous owner took on the project, much of it in boxes, his extensive renovation taking until the late 1990s to complete.
The body-off rebuild involved shot-blasting and repainting the chassis. The Powis Grey over Embassy Black paintwork with gold coachlining from then is described as good. The lubrication system was renewed, the engine, gearbox and rear axle stripped down and rebuilt, an electric pump fitted and tyres replaced in 2003.
The interior - with the exception of original driver's seat - has been given a leather retrim; front compartment in black, rear in magnolia this year. Rear occasional seats make this a seven-seater, while the landaulette roof was recently renewed in double-duck. Restoration photos are available and copies of factory build cards are included.
The vendor says a quarter landaulette style roof means that open air motoring can be enjoyed almost all the year round, without discomfort from the cold or having your hair disturbed!
