Fewer than ten percent of the 20/25 Models wore coachwork by Barker. This particular example had an off-test date of December 3, 1934, and was then sent to Barker & Company where it received body no. 6938 - a Foursome Sedanca Coupe design. The build sheet requested that the bonnet be three inches longer than standard, the side wheel carries 2-inches lower than standard, and the exhaust pipe be ten inches longer than standard. Spare Wheel Carriers on each side were also requested.
After Barker completed the coachwork, the car was delivered to Madrid, Spain, and into the care of its original owner, the Marquis de Santo Domingo. In 1935, it won the Biarritz Grand Prix d'Elegance, and the car would reside in Spain for over 35 years. In 1973, it returned to England and in 1982, its restoration was completed. The current caretaker acquired the car in 2015 and invested nearly $90,000 to return the car to its original condition and color.
The car wears a black paint scheme with matching wheel discs with blackwall tires. There is a removable roof panel over the front seat, while rear-seated passengers have an enclosed area (devoid of side windows). The sweeping bodylines are capped off in the rear with an elongated tail. The 3,699cc overhead valve inline six-cylinder engine breathes through a single 2-Jet carburetor and helps produce 65 horsepower at 3,000 RPM. There is a four-speed manual gearbox, four-wheel servo-assisted drum brakes, and a semi-elliptical leaf spring suspension with a floating rear axle.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2023
