1929 Rolls-Royce 20hp Landaulette Coachwork by Connaught Registration no. UU 6737 Chassis no. GEN14 Engine no. E5J (see text)•Fitted with a 20/25hp engine circa 1998•Present ownership since 2010•Engine rebuilt in 2011•Extensive restoration since acquisitionChassis number 'GEN14' was first registered on 3rd August 1929. According to John Fasal's book The Rolls Royce Twenty, the cars first owner was an R. Moreland. The car was subsequently owned by a Colonel Page (up to 1957). Including the current vendor, seven further owners are listed, the third of whom, Michael Horner, purchased car in 1968 from Gerald Millward and sold it in 1985. During Horner's ownership the Rolls-Royce was stored unused. After frost damage the fourth owner on the list, Philip Cordery, replaced the original engine with 'E5J' from 20/25hp chassis 'GSY63', a former hearse belonging to Mascot Motors, which he purchased in 1998 from The Real Car Co in North Wales. The original engine number for this car was 'K8T' (this engine comes with the car and will need to be collected from the vendor post sale). Our vendor purchased the Rolls-Royce in 2010.Following a big-end bearing failure in July 2011, the engine was rebuilt by former Rolls-Royce apprentice Peter Males. Robinson Engineering in Ferndown re-bored the cylinder block and relined it back to standard, while further refurbishment was carried out by Silver Lady Services, who dismantled the car prior to respraying and reassembly. Smarts Body Shop of Ferndown repainted the car using RM Ming Blue, while the interior retrim was entrusted to K Baggs Trimming of Parkstone, who used materials appropriate for the car's age including Connolly leather to the front. Other items refurbished included the starter motor, dynamo, magneto, distributor, carburettor, Autovac, klaxon, and water pump (rebuilt prior to the engine rebuild). New clutch plates were fitted and the gearbox oil replenished, and the radiator cleaned out and re-soldered where needed. An oil filter and water thermostat were fitted, which were not part of the original specification but useful upgrades nonetheless. The car was rewired at the same time as the engine rebuild and the dashboard instruments all overhauled. The brake servo was overhauled shortly thereafter. The Rolls-Royce returned to the road in March 2012 (at 72,814 miles on the odometer) and our vendor advises us that the engine has been totally reliable since the rebuild. Two original keys for the bonnet locks are included (the locks on both sides are the same so either key fits both). The original doorhandle locks do not work, the doors being secured by padlocks, while the driver's sliding window has a piece of timber to insert in its internal track to prevent it being opened from the outside. Accompanying documentation includes copies of factory paperwork; old-style logbooks; numerous receipts for the engine rebuild and rewiring; aV5C document; and a quantity of expired MoTs dating back to 1996. The following items come with the car: wheel spanner; spanner for radiator cap; wheel cover removal tool; starting handle; jack; rubber mallet; and the aforementioned bonnet keys and door padlocks.
