1936 ROLLS-ROYCE 25/30 by WINDOVERS

Reputedly 1 of just 6 Rolls-Royce 25/30s to be bodied to this design by Windovers. Just two owners since 1984. This charming long chassis 25/30 is finished in Cream over Brown and trimmed in Brown leather. Its Windovers Saloon body includes a Division and 'MJK 377' is thought to be one of just six Rolls-Royce 25/30s clothed to this design. It was supplied new on October 20, 1936, to W Johnson of the Basset confectionary company. The suitably impressive specification includes Marchal headlamps, twin spare wheels, chrome luggage rack, GB plate and rear cocktail cabinet. This wonderful, and very unusual Windovers design features a fantastic, folding step mechanism to all four doors. As the door opens the step folds down flat with absolute millimetric perfection. Other interesting features include an opening rear windscreen and fitting compartments in the rear for stationary and other accessories. Recent work has included overhauling both kingpins, repair one shot unions, supply and fit period style seatbelts front and rear (over £3,000) and other regular maintenance and servicing. The car is presented in very good condition throughout and mechanically spot on. Sold fully serviced.

£39,000

1934 ROLLS-ROYCE 20/25 WINDOVERS LIMOUSINE - The Real Car Co

1934 ROLLS-ROYCE 20/25 WINDOVERS LIMOUSINE

An unusual and interesting car for at least two reasons: Firstly, the car remained with one family from new until 2004 – 70 years! For the following ten years, the car was with one owner, who has cared for the car very well, taking it on several rallies, including two Continental ones, and it has been trouble free, performing nicely throughout. Secondly, the car has recently been repainted in its rather attractive and without doubt original colour. All-in-all a lovely car, slightly out of the ordinary, sound, in good order  running nicely and very appealing. Complete with fitted toolkit, rear-mounted trunk with fitted suitcases, a full set of 'Ace' wheel discs, correct lamps, etc. Serviced, prepared and MoT tested until February 2016.

Snippets:  Who is this Actress?

After a few years of ownership the first owner who was an engineer decided to give GHA16 to his wife, she was a musical comedy dancer/actress of some repute.  The earliest note of her appearance on the stage is in 1921 in a Charles B. Cochran production “The League of Notions”, starring alongside the beautiful, wealthy & scandalous Hungarian-American twins better known as the Dolly Sisters (protégés of G. Selfridge). In 1926 after just 5 years on the stage she was immortalised on the Murray cigarettes cards alongside fellow artistes such as Mary Pickford, Ivor Novello, Harold Lloyd & Norma Shearer and in 1927 her portrait was painted by Bernard Fleetwood-Walker & shown in the RBSA Spring Exhibition.  As an actress she was well known within the entertainment world for her menagerie which included Billy, her pet Budgerigar!  The only time she took from the stage was between 1929 & 1935 in order to devote time to their son.  In due course their son himself took to the stage with his first London appearance as a singer in Henry VII, he later emigrated to Canada where his acting career continued both on stage & TV.  After returning to the UK in the 1960s he took over the role of being the voice of Virgil Tracy in Thunderbirds!  And in 1977 he had a cameo appearance as Captain Forsyth in “The Spy Who Loved Me
