The Rolls-Royce 20/25 is a dependent on coachbuilder from Rolls-Royce, built from 1929 to 1936, the vintage years, when coachbuilders still shaped most of what was sold. Under the bonnet: 3669 cc.
How it came about
The Rolls-Royce 20/25 is the second of Rolls-Royce Limited's inter-war entry-level models. Built between 1929 and 1936, it was very popular, becoming the most successful selling inter-war Rolls-Royce. Its success enabled Rolls-Royce to survive the Great Depression, and remain one of World's great brands. 3,827 20/25s were produced, and more than 70% of these survive in use.
The hardware
Power comes from 3669 cc. It shifts through a 4-speed manual. The wheelbase is 3.27 m / 3.35 m from 1930. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Twenty; its successor was the 25/30. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Peugeot 201, the Bugatti type 40 coupé, the British Motor Corporation Morris Isis — show what else the money bought that year. Its Rolls-Royce stablemates include the Rolls-Royce 100EX and the Rolls-Royce 102EX.
What it costs now
There is no federal ownership record for the Rolls-Royce 20/25 — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
