Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars is proud to offer this stunning 1935 Rolls
Royce 20/25 Touring Limousine for sale in their Indianapolis
showroom. What an amazing piece of automotive heritage! The 20/25
was Rolls Royce's second pre-war entry level sedan. Offered between
1929 and 1936 it became one of Rolls Royce's most successful
selling models. The 20/25 enabled Rolls Royce to survive the
economic climate of the Great Depression and is largely responsible
for keeping the brand alive. This beautiful example still runs with
the original inline 6-cylinder engine and 4-speed manual
transmission, and purrs like a kitten. Never rebuilt or molested,
it is a testament to the adage, "you get what you pay for". The
Rolls had a repaint done in 1986, and at some point in her life the
leather has been replaced. An additional coil was added to make the
car easier and more dependable when starting, and an electric fan
was fitted to keep the engine cool while in slower traffic. The car
still has an operational centralized lubrication system, hand-crank
start, Rolls Royce 2-jet carburetor, and specialized tools to
remove the wheels. The all-aluminum body and custom coachwork was
done by Park Ward, and paperwork exists that shows the original
client's build requests and specifications. This Rolls was first
commissioned in November of 1935, with the chassis being finished
in January of 1936. The Park Ward custom body was then completed
and delivered to the new owner on August 1, 1936. Built to British
specs, the Rolls is a right-hand driver. Some additional features
include; a manual sliding sunroof, adjustable glass partition to
allow separation of the passenger compartment from the driver,
courtesy lamps, and braided assist cords, rear passenger
compartment and tray, rear seat arm rest, front bumper
center-mounted driving lamp, dash lights, and "Spirit of Ecstasy"
radiator ornament. The opportunity rarely presents itself to own
such a magnificent automobile. Be sure to visit our webpage at
