Rolls-Royce introduced the 20/ 25 in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20. Though the newcomer was primarily aimed at owner drivers, many examples were nevertheless sold to customers with chauffeurs. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six unit used in the 20. Now of 3, 699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and a higher top speed of up to 75mph. Bodywork for the 20/ 25, was to the taste of each individual customer, and Freestone & Webb, Gurney Nutting, Park Ward, Thrupp & Maberly, Mulliner and Hooper were among the many coachbuilders selected to clothe these fine motorcars. Nearly 4, 000 20/ 25 chassis were ultimately produced, making it the company’s best-selling model between the wars.
