- In a major collection in Bordeaux for over 50 years

- Heart-warming used condition, original interior

- Rare and interesting model

- No reserve

Purchased in 1973, this car was among the first to join this major collection in Bordeaux. With elegant bodywork with a division by Barker, coachbuilder to royalty, it is in used condition following an older restoration of reasonable quality. The chromework is lightly pitted and the synthetic leather roof is slightly damaged, but overall the car looks good. Inside, there are comfortable bench seats, their original leather worn by their occupants and the passage of time. Used regularly after it joined the collection, this imposing motorcar has not been driven for several years and will therefore need to be thoroughly overhauled before being used.

The 25/30 succeeded the 20/25, whose six-cylinder engine was somewhat lacking in power for the bodies fitted to the model. Its increased capacity of 4.3 litres made it more at ease on the road, and it was also rarer than its predecessor, with about 1,200 cars built.

In the same ownership for more than 50 years, this Rolls-Royce has the advantage of unquestionable authenticity, in terms of both its provenance and its presentation, which is sure to appeal to enthusiasts.

Please note that the technical inspection is unfavorable.
