1937 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Drop Head Coupe

Between 1936 and 1938 just 1,201 Rolls-Royce 25/30 chassis were built ready for delivery to one's chosen coachbuilder. This 1937 example, chassis GH048, was delivered new to C.E.R Keddie Esq, of London, who paid £1,100 for the chassis alone. He employed the services of Salmons & Sons to construct a body for the car. The car was eventually imported in to the United States, to a new owner in the 1980s in New York and then purchased by its current owners in Santa Fe, NM in 1998. 

Nicknamed, "Buttercup," this Rolls-Royce has been extensively campaigned on international rallies and European tours, and featured in numerous Rolls-Royce Owners Club publications. In 2006 the car achieved Senior status in the Classic Car Club of America. This right-hand-drive classic is powered by an inline-6 engine and 4-speed manual transmission. Buttercup, finished in Primrose Yellow over black leather interior with the customary wood dash, door cappings and accessories as well as the obligatory picnic trays, features the Tickford patented winding 3-position hood mechanism.  It is accompanied by almost a full complement of original tools, jacking system, and service records.
