1936 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Barker Saloon GXK15

A charmingly correct and spacious saloon. sound. smart. and driving just as a 20/25 should. The car has been with one owner since 1998. and during that time it has benefited from a full engine overhaul. re-cored radiator. re-wiring. and a bare metal repaint. as well as nicely re-upholstered seats. and more besides. Used for continental rallies. so well ‘tried & tested'. and really very impressive to drive. with excellent suspension. light. positive steering. delightful gearbox. and for various reasons we are inclined to believe that the indicated mileage of 66. 00 may well be correct. Mo T tested until January 2015. Lovely!

Snippets – Who was H. Carson Andrews?

Delivered to the elusive H. Carson Andrews at Brooklands. Brockenhurst apart from the fact that in 1962 he once had a letter published in Country Life. he is a mystery as are the subsequent names on the chassis card of G. D. Baylis & Colver Mac Bride – perhaps someone has some information they can share with us? By 1964 GXK 15 was with A. M. Preston of Lindores. Fife. during the 1970 s Alan Preston was the City Architect for Dundee Corporation.

His home was “Woodhill Mains” in the village of Lindores situated on the shore of Lindores Loch.

A Pictish stone dating back to the 3 rd century can be found in the churchyard of Lindores & at the eastern end of the village there are traces of an ancient castle thought to have belonged to Macduff. the Thane of Fife – immortalised by William Shakespeare in his play Mac Beth.

In June 1298 just outside the village the Battle of Black Irnsyde was fought between William Wallace & the Earl of Pembroke. with Wallace being the victor.
