this model
1935,Gurney Nutting Sports Saloon
Keeping up with Rolls-Royce's two model policy the R-R
20/25 hp was built as a stablemate to the big R-R
Phantom II. In comparison to the previous 20hp model,
the 20/25 hp offered better acceleration and higher top
speed. A better overall average fuel consumption than
the predecessor's was an added bonus. The increased
power output did give coachbuilders greater
opportunities to build larger bodies. Nearly 4,000
chassis were produced and make this Rolls-Royce's
bestselling model of the period between the Great War
and WWII. 3827 Rolls-Royce 20/25 H.P were built.
