1936 Rolls Royce 20/25 All weather tourer by Offord.

Chassis number: GBK36
Registration number BWJ600

This is an incredibly original car cared for by Mr Trevor Boyd Maunsell for 48 years. It sold in 1960 for the princely sum of £375. 00

The car has a huge history & provenance amongst the best I have ever seen including a massive bills file & sequential MOT's back to 1960!!

The engine was rebuilt about 18. 00 miles ago by Marque specialists Ristes. & there is a photographic record of this work. After the rebuild the car was painstakingly run in at 30MPH including a trip back to Ristes to torque down the head. which again there is supporting documentation for. Boyd Maunsell feels the engine is still a little "Tight" & will gradually loosen over the next 20K. The car also had a new cylinder block in the late '40s courtesy of the Rolls Royce factory as the original one was deemed to have a defective casting. This was completed free of charge by Rolls Royce. The engine fires immediately & runs sweetly in well oiled silence.

The body on the car is by Offord. A south London coach builder better known for Alvises & Bentleys. who bodied very very few Rolls Royce motorcars.
It is a one off all weather tourer & the hood is simplicity itself to raise or lower. It has roll up windows front & rear & also a rear Auster screen to protect occupants in the back.

The condition of the car is beautifully patinated & quite the opposite of what one finds on freshly over restored models. The car starts instantly & drives beautifully easily holding station in motorway traffic. The open touring arrangements make it an ideal family car for outings & picnics. The car has a motoring trunk fitted to the rear. There are dual trumpet horns up front & a centrally mounted spot lamp. Twin side mounts adorn the running boards.

This is a rare chance to acquire a car in wonderful original order. & of the type that is hard to find as they so rarely come to market.

This was our grandparents' car! We have old photos of it touring in its original form, if of interest to the seller/buyer and if they would also like to learn more about the original owner and history.
