1934 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Sports Saloon by Thrupp & Maberly
UK • 24 Nov 2012 • Lot 249
Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1929-1936 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Sports Saloon, with a Thrupp & Maberly body, has been owned by the seller for 20 years, during which time it has been significantly invested in with an engine rebuild, ash frame replacement, and recent coachwork. Sold with a V5 registration document and history file, this presents a potential bargain given the investment made.
Condition
6
While the car has undergone significant restoration, including engine rebuild and ash frame replacement, the description also mentions 'recent coachwork,' suggesting ongoing maintenance. The owner's long-term investment points to careful upkeep, but without specific details on current imperfections, a precise rating is challenging. The mention of an included MOT test certificate until 2013 also suggests the car may have been sitting for some time.

Description
The Rolls-Royce 20/25 was built between 1929 and 1936 and succeeded the 20hp as Rolls-Royce's 'small car'.
It was intended to appeal to owner drivers but many were sold to customers with chauffeurs.
As far back as the 1880's, Thrupp & Maberly began its move from making horse-drawn carriages to car bodies.
By the spring of 1897, Thrupp & Maberly held the British licence for the Duryea Motor Wagon.
More commissions followed and the business grew, leading to large numbers of bodies for staff cars being made during World War I.
After the war, Thrupp & Maberly produced a range of bespoke bodies for up-market British and European marques and in 1924, they moved to new premises in Cricklewood, London but kept a showroom in North Audley Street which, in 1925, was bought by the Rootes brothers.
Thrupp & Maberly remained a prestige coachbuilder concentrating on luxury bodies for Rolls-Royce, Daimler and Bentley automobiles and in 1929, they built the body for Sir Henry Segrave's land speed...
