One of the most interesting cars we have worked on in recent years. This 1935 Rolls-Royce 20/25 needed significant attention from our team, with many of the car’s mechanical and body work elements arriving in various sized boxes which had to be inspected, organised and meticulously prepared, even down to tubs of nuts and bolts. This ‘mega jigsaw’ also required an extensive mechanical overhaul including the engine. Following this, we restored the wonderful shooting brake coachwork, including all its metal and wooden panelling that are such a prominent feature of the car. The last step was an interior restoration, with new leather, woodwork, chrome and detailing. This lovely car then returned to the European collection where it resides, looking magnificent and driving superbly once again.
