Description
Hooper Sports saloon design 6684 built for Rolls-Royce themselves for the Geneva Motor Show. She was originally delivered to Geneva on a French chassis plate and is marked up in metric and imperial.
Having previously owned Phantoms and post war cars, the 25/ 30 has the fabulous presence and individuality of a pre war car, yet the practicality to drive anywhere, any day.
"Little Ethel" has had no expense spared and we have invested £40k and kept her tip top in our custodianship since 2012. All work done as required at specialists Sergeants, Fiennes and Ghost Motors. Judging by the copies of the bills in the 50s, 60s and later, each owner has had a similar “rightly done” mentality. Sadly my knee has not aged as well as Ethel, so a change has to be made.
Contact me for a large fully itemised file of expenditure and history. Priced to sell at £54, 000 or p/ ex with a Silver Cloud of similar provenance. Her first private owner led development of the UK Aluminium industry. Her third owner was the surgeon on the Royal Yacht Britannia and an Antarctic explorer, known to the Queen as “Our David”. A more recent owner was a director of the VSCC and the Twenty Ghost Club and added overdrive making our regular & reliable travels to France and Italy easy (see article in S355 July 2019). Lausanne or Montreux to our local pub in Kent is over 550 miles but Ethel has done that at 100kph all day long.
