Rolls-Royce, Ltd., are available for work including engine rebuild and complete transmission overhaul which was carried out in lace 1948. It was neither taxed nor used from this date until Nov. 1952.

ROLLS-ROYCE (1931) 20[25, Chassis No. GDP 80, with very attractive 1938 all-metal town and country 4-door brake coachwork by H. .1. Mu’liner.

This is a well-appointed 5-seater dual-purpose Rolls of considerable elegance built by one of the premier R/R coachbuilders and should not by any means be confused with the so-called ” shooting brake.”

We apologise for the fact that although advertised last month, this vehicle was not available owing to its being utilised by one of our staff at Le Mans. It is at present undergoing recellulose and retrim in our shop. £450

ROLLS TWENTY/TWENTY-FIVE (1930/33).

Tyres and batteries have been replaced where necessary and brakes relined. Since it is an inordinately, and often unnecessarily, expensive process to recondition a Rolls-Royce completely, all existing faults not rectified will be fully disclosed to potential purchasers. Apart from these diclosed faults these Rolls will be fully guaranteed.

In the rather unlikely event of its remaining unsold, therefore, it will be illustrated and fully described in the August issue. 285
