In the early 1930s, Rolls-Royce motor cars were rarely delivered with a finished body. Instead, the company supplied a rolling chassis which would then be sent to one of the many specialist coachbuilders of the time. Each car could be finished to the customer’s personal taste, resulting in a remarkable variety of body styles built on the same chassis.
Some of the most respected coachbuilders of the period included Barker, Hooper, Park Ward, Mulliner and Connaught, each producing distinctive designs that reflected the craftsmanship and luxury expected from Rolls-Royce owners.
The Rolls-Royce 20/25, introduced in 1929, became one of the most popular chassis for coachbuilt bodies during this era. Its smooth six-cylinder engine and refined engineering made it ideal for elegant saloons, sedancas, coupes and cabriolets.
