Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1926 Rolls-Royce 20 HP Hooper 6 Light Saloon, chassis GCK78, boasts a rich history with the same family for nearly 50 years. It features a 3103 cc engine, manual gearbox, and a resplendent blue over black livery, complemented by an English Bedford Cord interior. While showing 5180 miles (though actual mileage is higher due to trip odometer resets), it presents in very good overall condition, needing only minor paintwork attention.
Condition
8
The car is described as being in excellent all-round condition, with a few cosmetic issues with the paintwork. The bodywork is true and straight, with crisp panel gaps, and the interior is evocative of a bygone age, with supportive upholstery and fine carpets. The engine bay is spotlessly clean, and the undersides of the car have a great deal of structural integrity.

Chassis number 'GCK-78' wears six-light saloon coachwork by Hooper and was delivered new to its first owner, a Wolverhampton brewer, publican and hotelier by the name of John Lord, in April 1926.
When new it was ‘Royal Claret’ with black wings and valances.
The vendor’s father bought GCK-78 in 1977 and spent around three years thoroughly restoring the car, with the work carried out covering the engine, interior and a resprayed exterior in green and black.
The car passed to the vendor in 1988, when it was again fully restored (engine, mechanicals and interior), and resprayed in the splendid ‘Taxi Black’ and ‘Oxford Blue’ livery you see today.
The car has an aluminium bonnet.
The car received constant care, attention and fettling from the vendor’s husband, a talented and passionate engineer.
It has also been maintained, serviced and cared-for by such esteemed specialists as Will Fiennes and A.J.
Glew.
