Details
From the Estate of PAUL I. MYERS
1937 ROLLS-ROYCE 25/30 ENCLOSED LIMOUSINE
COACHWORK BY THRUPP & MABERLY
Chassis No. GWN 51
Engine No. Y286
Black and silver
Engine: six-cylinder, overhead valve, 4,257cc; Gearbox: four speed manual; Brakes: four wheel drum; Suspension: semi-elliptic. Right hand drive.
The 25/30hp Rolls-Royce was launched in the Spring of 1936 as a successor to the popular 20/25 model. The improved design had an increased engine capacity of 4,257cc with a boost in horse power from 70bhp to 115bhp. The overall design of the chassis was stronger enabling coachbuilders greater freedom in the range of body styles. These changes also enhanced the overall performance of the model which could acheive a top speed of 80mph depending on the coachwork.
The late Paul Myers purchased GWN 51 from a gentleman in Columbus, Ohio, who brought the Rolls into his house during the winter months for storage! It is believed that he was only the second owner from new. It has an older restoration and is in fair overall cosmetic condition. This 25/30 is fitted with a sliding sun roof of the period. It was used regularly by the Myers, and hardly any work was required on the car in their ownership.
