About the Rolls-Royce 20/25
The Rolls-Royce 20/25 was introduced in 1929 as a successor to the Twenty, designed to be owner-driven rather than exclusively chauffeured. It featured a larger 3.7-litre overhead-valve inline-six engine, providing the necessary power for the increasingly heavy and elaborate coachwork of the era. As the company's most successful inter-war model, its sales provided the financial stability for Rolls-Royce to survive the Depression and eventually acquire Bentley. It is highly regarded by collectors today for its mechanical reliability and the elegance of the bespoke bodies provided by firms like Park Ward and Mulliner.
