Rolls-Royce 20/25

The Rolls-Royce 20/25 was the marque's "small" car, produced from 1929 to 1936. It succeeded the 20 HP, offering a larger 3.7-liter inline-6 engine that provided better performance for the increasingly heavy coachbuilt bodies of the era. Like all pre-war Rolls-Royces, the 20/25 was supplied as a rolling chassis for a client's chosen coachbuilder, resulting in a wide variety of unique body styles from firms like Park Ward, Mulliner, and Hooper.

Collectors appreciate the 20/25 for its blend of pre-war elegance, robust engineering, and improved usability over earlier models. It's a reliable and capable tourer that can keep pace with modern traffic more easily than its predecessor. The diversity of coachwork means there's a style for every taste, from formal saloons to sporting tourers and drophead coupes, with the latter being the most sought after.

The market for the 20/25 is broad, with values heavily dependent on the coachbuilder, body style, condition, and provenance. Driver-quality saloons can be found for relatively modest prices, making them an accessible entry point to Rolls-Royce ownership. However, rare open cars with documented histories command significantly higher prices, with the best examples selling for well over $100,000.

Based on 14 recent sales, prices range from $5,500 to $136,000, with an average of $40,996.
