- We are very pleased to offer this 1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Shooting Brake with coachwork by Mascot Motor Body Works. This car started life as a sports saloon by Hooper but was re-bodied in 1941 to what you see now.
- This was very common at this time as the alloy was needed for war efforts.
- This particular Shooting Brake has been with its current owner for about ten years and has had a full restoration.
- We have known this car for most of that time.
- The car is very capable and is a very reliable, nice-driving car.
- It has participated in many car shows and events over the years with no issues.
-The clutch has been updated to diaphragm style by us, which is a huge improvement over the stock clutch setup.
- The car is also fitted with overdrive which makes the car a great driver at freeway speeds.
- The car has had everything gone through front-to-back and is truly ready to go needing noting.
- This is a very pretty car that the photos truly do not do justice.

Specs and history
The Rolls-Royce 20/25 was the second of Rolls-Royce Ltd's pre-war entry level models. Built between 1929 and 1936, it was tremendously popular, becoming the most successful selling inter-war Rolls-Royce. Its success enabled Rolls-Royce to survive the economic difficulties of the Great Depression years and remain one of world’s great brands. A total of 3,827 20/25s were produced, of which over 70% are still on the road today.
Origin
The 20/25 was the successor of the highly successful 20 hp Rolls-Royce Twenty introduced in 1922. The target market for the 20/25 was the same as the Twenty – the luxury, owner driver market. The project to develop the next generation 20 hp was code named Goshawk.[1] The goal for the new model was to increase power & performance.[2] This was achieved by increasing the bore size from 3 to 3.25 inches. The stroke was unchanged at 4.5 inches. This resulted in a 17% increase in capacity from 3128 to 3675cc – bring the RAC rating up to 25.4 hp.[3]
The new 20/25 model was debuted at the 1929 Olympia Motor Show and proved to be tremendously popular becoming the greatest of the inter-war successes. There were 3827 20/25 hp produced – over twice the number of its contemporary sibling the Phantom II. The popularity of the 20/25 saved Rolls-Royce Limited during the pre-war economically difficult years.[4] Ultimately 20/25 model was replaced by the 25/30 model in 1936 in which the bore was further increased to 3.5 inches. In 1938 the 25/30 was given a new chassis with independent front suspension and was renamed the Wraith.[5]
The 20/25 also enabled Rolls-Royce Ltd to quickly capitalize on its 1931 acquisition of Bentley Motors Ltd. As part of integrating its acquisition, Rolls-Royce management discontinued the Bentley 8-Litre car due to the perceived market overlap with the Phantom II. This meant the acquisition brought with it the Bentley brand, debt and engineers & manufacturing employees with no product to produce. They quickly decided to create a new Bentley using the 20/25 engine with some adaptions and a chassis developed for a 2 ¾ litre Roll-Royce that was to be an economy version of the 20/25 but had been cancelled. This formed the basis of the first Derby Bentley – the 3 ½ litre Bentley. The "Silent Sports Car" as they become known were highly successful and were another major contribution of the 20/25 to the success of Rolls-Royce Ltd.[6]
