1937 Rolls-Royce 25/30HP Barker Sedanca Limousine

The Rolls-Royce 25/30 was built between 1936 and 1938 being offered to those who wanted smaller cars to fit the older European roads and congested cities, plus offered an alternative to avoid horsepower/License taxes on the large and powerful Phantom cars. Prior to 1936 Rolls-Royce addressed the market with the 20/25 and 20 horsepower cars; and the successor of the 25/30 was the Wraith. The inline 6-cylinder overhead valve engine is 4257cc and is capable of about 70-75 mph depending on the type of coachwork fitted. Rolls-Royce cars of the period were provided by the factory in chassis form only and the owners chose custom coachwork builder. The luxury coachwork on the 1937 is by Barker & Co. Ltd and is a Sedanca Limousine. Total 25/30 production was 1,201 chassis.
