This Rolls-Royce was ordered in August 1935 by the Duchess of Carlisle, who was completing a London town home and wanted a motorcar to taker her throughout the city. She decided on a long wheelbase 20/25 limousine.
The Duchess had several specific requests, including division glass (between front and rear), special vanity compartments on either side of the rear compartment, fitted with sterling perfume vials, clothes brushes, note books with sterling pencil sets and front and rear heaters.
The Rolls-Royce was eventually acquired by a U.S. Army officer who shipped the car to the United States where it was acquired by the Kengeter family. A five-year restoration was undertaken with the exception of the rear seating area, which remains as originally delivered.
