1934 ROLLS-ROYCE 25/30 RAZOR EDGE SPORTS SALOON
COACHWORK BY PARK WARD
Registration No. TSU 951 (see text)
Chassis No. GMP 12
Engine No. E24C
Black and grey with brown leather interior.
Engine: six cylinder, monobloc, 4257cc, overhead valves, coil ignition; Gearbox: four speed, synchromesh on third and fourth gears; Brakes: servo operated four wheel brakes: Suspension: semi-elliptic leaf springs front and rear. Right hand drive.
Introduced at the 1936 Motor Show, the Rolls-Royce 25/30hp model was a development of the earlier 20hp and 20/25hp, and came about due to the need for increased power for the "small Rolls-Royce". The engine capacity was increased by just over half a litre to 4257cc; carburation was simplified and fuel was supplied by twin SU pumps rather than the Autovac system of the 20/25hp. Steering was improved by adapting a cam and roller system in place of the worm and nut set-up used on the 20/25hp. The new model was also fitted with adjustable shock absorbers operated from the dashboard. The 25/30 was noticeably faster than the previous model and had a top speed of about 80mph - capable of cruising happily at 60mph or more. A variety of coachwork was available, dependant on customer choice; the razor-edge models were subsequently so named due to the sharpness of wing and body line.
This 1937 example, chassis No. GMP 12, has attractive razor-edged sports saloon coachwork by Park Ward and the actual car is photographed in Dalton Watson's 'Coachwork on Rolls-Royce 1906-1939'. Today the car has black over grey paintwork with brown leather upholstery and matching trim. The Rolls-Royce is in running condition although the electrical system requires attention due to brittleness of age and we recommend that this is attended to shortly.
Presently displaying the registration mark MAN 9, the correct road registration for the car is TSU 951 as per the V5 registration document.
