1934 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Six Light Limousine by Thrupp & Maberly
Coachbuilt elegance by Thrupp & Maberly — 'Silent Travel' for the aristocracy of the 1930s.
The story
The 20/25 was the Rolls-Royce of choice for discreet luxury between the wars, each chassis sent to a coachbuilder to be bodied to the first owner's precise wishes. This Six Light Limousine wears coachwork by Thrupp & Maberly, one of Britain's most prestigious houses.
The 3.7-litre straight-six was engineered for Rolls-Royce's philosophy of 'Silent Travel', gliding rather than driving. With its chauffeur division, occasional seats and hand-finished walnut, it is a rolling piece of pre-war social history, ideal for grand occasions and exhibitions.
