Registration - SV5322Chassis No - 87K5M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 4,000 There are dance enthusiasts the world over who’d give anything to witness the incomparable Fred Astaire perform live once more. Sadly, that’s a wish we cannot grant, but we can offer you the chance to own a very special motorcar that once belonged to him – ie this spectacular-looking 1924 Rolls-Royce 20hp roadster. Finished in yellow that’s complemented by a tan hood and tan leather upholstery, it was exported early on to the USA, where it is thought to have had its its dashing roadster-style coachwork fashioned by Inskip of New York, and where it was for a while the property of one of the most famous dancers of all time. By 1988 it had been repatriated and designated the registration ‘SV 5322’. The accompanying history file shows the roadster was then entrusted to Dennis Pilling & Son of Leigh in Lancashire, who performed a thorough mechanical overhaul on the Rolls-Royce, at a cost of almost £30,000 (a very large sum at the time). The vendor presently classes the six-cylinder engine, dickie-seat roadster bodywork and upholstery as ‘excellent’, and the four-speed central-change gearbox and paintwork as ‘good’. The motorcar comes complete with a large history folder containing an assortment of receipts and invoices, plus photographs and an array of other documents that prove the connection to Fred Astaire. Unveiled in 1922, the 20hp was a second string to the Rolls-Royce bow - a shorter, more economical sibling to the Silver Ghost which broadened the marque’s reach to span both the very rich and seriously wealthy. Instantly distinguished by its horizontal radiator shutters, the newcomer was constructed around a ladder-frame chassis of 129-inch wheelbase. Power came from a 3,127cc straight-six, OHV monobloc engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox. Suspension was by semi-elliptic leaf springs all-round. Braking was initially on the rear wheels alone, while steering was by worm and nut. Progressively updated to feature a four-speed gearbox and servo-assisted all-wheel braking, the ‘baby’ Rolls remained in production until 1929, by when some 2,885 examples had vacated the company’s Derby factory. Lighter and more responsive than the Silver Ghost, the 20hp was capable of exceeding 60mph. In summary:The most eye-catching of roadster-bodied Rolls-Royce 20sOnce the property of the one and only Fred AstairePresented in fine overall order complete with history file
