 1930 Rolls-Royce 20/25HP Sport Coupe | 1930 Rolls-Royce 20/25HP Sport Coupe 44,000.00 USD Offered For Sale at the: RM Auction - Vintage Motor Cars at Meadow Brook Hall August 6, 2005, Auburn Hills, Michigan RM Auctions One Classic Car Drive Blenheim, Ontario N0P 1A0 Canada Phone: 519-352-4575 Website: www.rmauctions.com 1930 Rolls-Royce 20/25HP Sport Coupe LOT: 048 Chassis No. GLR27 Sold at a price of $44,000 3,680cc inline six-cylinder overhead valve engine, dual ignition via coil and magneto, four-speed manual transmission, semi-elliptic springs all around with centralized chassis lubrication and four-wheel servoassisted mechanical drum brakes. Wheelbase: 129" Chassis number GLR27, the lovely and very handsome Park Ward sport coupe offered here was delivered to Rye, New York in 1930 but wound up in the hands of Dr. Arthur McGraw of Grosse Pointe, Michigan in 1935. Dr. McGraw joined the Henry Ford Hospital staff in 1922 and later became the Surgeon-in-Charge of what was then known as the "Tumor Clinic." Although unconfirmed, he is also reported to have been one of Henry Ford’s personal physicians. Surviving correspondence documents Dr. McGraw’s conveyance of the car to the Edison Institute in 1939, where it remained on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn until 1982. At that time, it was purchased at auction by James Metheny of Coachbuilt Motors in Columbus, Ohio, who aquired the car for his personal collection. James retained the car until he sold it to the vendor in March of this year. Except for a color change in the 1930s (the car was originally maroon but went into the museum in the green with black wings paint scheme it retains today, having not been repainted since), the car is very original, retaining most if not all of the unusual features shown on the chassis card, including fitted luggage, unique turn signals, spare and tools in the boot (no external spare). The interior is original as well, but Mr. Metheny did replace the two seater's leather top. Although largely unrestored, GLR27 has received excellent maintenance and care throughout its life, and today, even the work done years ago has acquired a lovely patina. Perhaps the most appealing feature of the car is its unique two place sport coupe coachwork. To modern eyes, many of the bodies fitted to Rolls-Royce cars are less than attractive; GLR27 is a notable exception, with a compact passenger compartment that lengthens the appearance of the bonnet while lending a distinct sporting appearance to a chassis that more often received rather utilitarian coachwork. The vendor purchased the car with the intention of preparing it for a tour in the U.K., although a change of plans has resulted in his decision to part with GLR27. Nonetheless, in preparation for the tour, an extensive program of road testing, inspection, and repairs to the fuel and ignition systems was undertaken. The mechanical work was done by the vendor’s shop, while the cosmetic updates were handled by D&D Restorations in Ohio. Today, this highly original and very pretty coupe offers a unique blend of style and originality. It is refreshing indeed to find a well preserved example in a world surrounded by restored cars that retain little if any of their original character and patina. by Douglas |

 1930 ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM II MULLINER LIMOUSINE | 1930 ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM II MULLINER LIMOUSINE 1930 ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM II MULLINER LIMOUSINE Chassis no. 190GY Engine no. TQ35 Chassis number 190GY was delivered from Rolls-Royce to H J Mulliner of Chiswickoin 6th October 1930 where this very elegant seven-seat limousine body was constructed. Lucas P100 headlamps and a centre lamp together with twin side-mounted spare wheels and a luggage rack were also fitted. The car was subsequently delivered via Car Mart Ltd of Park Lane in late October to Mr. Holmes of Hitchin, Hertfordshire, the subsequent owner being Sir Walter Preston Terbury. During the War GK64 was used for towing farm trailers; following hostilities a restoration was undertaken by an enthusiastic private owner who unfortunately never realized his ambition to completely renovate the car. During the 1980s however, a comprehensive restoration was carried out by Messrs Scott Montcrieff of Leck, Staffordshire who sympathetically retained original parts wherever possible. This comprehensive work included repairing or rebuilding all electricals, instruments, lights, etc., with the wooden frame and panel work replaced where necessary and the aluminum body stripped and rebuilt with new metal wherever required. The interior trim is finished in leather to the front chauffeurs compartment with cloth in the rear and the colours have faithfully followed the original specification. The veneers have been repaired and repolished, the coachwork painted to Rolls-Royce standards and all bright-work refitted. In all cases the original parts were used wherever possible the chassis, engine, drive train, etc. are all original to the car. The car is now sold from a private collection and is described as being excellent throughout, and is extremely elegant in maroon over black livery with brown hide and red carpets.
