This 1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25 (chassis #GSY9) was initially fitted with sports saloon coachwork from Hooper & Co. before being re-bodied as a shooting brake during the war effort in 1941. The original cabin was reportedly recycled when the British government organized aluminum scrap drives to help manufacture aircraft and other armaments. A new five-door ash and mahogany body was subsequently commissioned from Mascot Motor Works in London. The car was imported to the US under previous ownership and has undergone a refurbishment in the past decade. It is now finished in Sage Green over tan Connolly leather and is powered by a 3.7-litre OHV inline-six backed by a 4-speed manual gearbox. Upgrades include a Gear Vendors overdrive, Pertronix ignition, and a modern diaphragm clutch. The selling dealer’s client purchased the car approximately ten years ago, and it was the recipient of a 1st place Pre-War Touring Division award from the Rolls-Royce Owner’s Club.
