1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Navigation
This 1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25 wears Torpedo Tourer coachwork in the style of Barker. It has been in single-family ownership for the last 62 years.

This Rolls-Royce initially wore Saloon coachwork by Park Ward and was initially owned by Captain C.H. Waring of Moyles Court, Ringwood, Hampshire. Several British caretakers owned the car before it was rescued by Colin Black from a Yarnton, United Kingdom scrapyard in 1962. Mr. Black had the vehicle restored and used it extensively across the United Kingdom and Europe before relocating to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in 1965. He continued to drive the car often; in 1973, work began on constructing an open touring body. The coachwork was constructed using a combination of Malayan hardwood, stainless steel, brass, and original Park Ward sheet metal. Each rectangular space between uprights, including the doors, was reinforced with piano wire and aircraft turnbuckles. The work was completed by Christmas 1976, and Mr. Black celebrated by driving his family and a trailer laden with sailboats over 600 miles to Cape Town, South Africa.
