1938 Rolls Royce 25/30 Thrupp & Maberly Non division Saloon

Chassis Number: GZR2

Registration Number: EOE800

An untouched family Heirloom. We are instructed to sell this wonderful car for the great grand daughter of the man who ordered it new in 1937 one Arthur Smith, as she now lives in Australia & keeping the car in the UK as she does makes no sense to her current plans.

This is one of the most straight & untouched cars we have had the pleasure to handle. The black cellulose paint is original to the car & in super straight condition. The door shuts are perfect as when the car left the factory. The interior black leather is all original. Seat covers have been made & fitted to the front seat bases to preserve the original leather beneath. The car was ordered new with upgraded leather to the door cards which remain in situ today.

Upon arrival we will of course conduct a full valet of the car & photo shoot. The few shots I took when viewing & test driving the car simply do not do it justice.

The engine on the car starts instantly & runs in silence with excellent oil pressure. The whole driving experience has a taut tight low mile feel to it as evidenced by the guaranteed 72,000 miles the car has covered since new. The engine bay is clean & tidy. The original wiring under the fuse box is in perfect condition & the bakelite fuse cover still has the original fuse wire holder & fuse in situ in their holders on the inside.

To the boot is the cars original luggage which is in beautiful condition. even better is the complete original tool kit located in the fold open boot lid.

I simply cannot stress how good, original & unmessed around with this car is. It is one of those time warp cars that we only very occasionally come across & comes to us with impeccable provenance as the property of the Great Grand Daughter of the first owner. It will win prizes in the preservation class of any concours. Recent maintenance has been done by noted experts RR&B garages for which assorted servicing billls are on file. The original Rolls Royce guarantee also comes with the car in a picture frame.
