Background: Hugh Vivian was a member of the industrialist Vivian family of Swansea - the most notable descendant being Richard Glynn Vivian, founder of the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery. Hugh Vivian was Managing Director of Vivian & Sons Ltd, a Swansea Valley metals and chemicals company originally operating from Hafod Smelting Works & Mills. At one time in the nineteenth century, production from the site represented a quarter of the entire UK copper trade. Vivian & Sons traded from 1810 until 1924 when they then merged with two other Swansea companies to form British Copper Manufacturers Ltd. In 1928 the company was then absorbed by the conglomerate ICI and copper continued to be rolled from the Swansea sites until 1980. In 1923, under Hugh Vivian's directorship, the company ordered the first Garratt locomotive from Beyer-Peacock for British industrial service. Vivian later became Chairman of Beyer Peacock from 1937 to 1949 The Garratt-locomotive, developed by Herbert William Garratt, was a steam-locomotive that was articulated into three parts with the boiler mounted on the centre frame and twin steam engines on separate frames - one on each end of the boiler. The enhanced articulation enabled the trains to negotiate curves easier where larger rigid-framed locomotives would struggle. The Garratt-locomotives were built by Beyer Peacock and commissions were gained across the world, most notably in Africa, Australia and USSR. Provenance: the box was purchased by the present vendor in the 1970s at an auction of Hugh Vivian's chattels after his death. Included with the item is a luncheon menu commemorating Hugh Vivian Esq and his involvement with Beyer Peacock and the commissioning of the aforementioned engine, held at The Dorchester Hotel, London on May 10th 1949 Condition Report: complete without any notable bumps or dints, slight surface scratches, excellent well-looked after piece.

1937 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Saloon - Finished in silver matched to a red leather interior with Park Ward limousine coach work - Supplied new to a Mr Ralph Clifford Lynn esq, a comedy actor from Manchester - Previously UK registered as 'DLT 428' and offered with a copy of its US title plus chassis card records Further info: Maintaining its policy of offering one 'Large' and one 'Small' model (the terms being purely relative!), Rolls-Royce introduced the 20/25 in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20 hp. Though the newcomer was intended to appeal to owner drivers, many examples were in fact sold to customers with chauffeurs. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six unit used in the 20 hp. Now of 3699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and a higher top speed - up to 75mph, depending on the chosen body. The four speed manual gearbox featured the manufacturer's traditional right-hand change and was equipped with synchromesh on the top two ratios from 1932 onwards. The substantial chassis sported rigid axles front and rear suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. The four-wheeled braking was mechanically servo assisted. In 1936, the company opted to increase performance once more, further enlarging the engine to 4257cc to create the so-called 25/30, of which 1201 examples were made before the model was superseded by the Wraith in 1938. Like most Rolls-Royces, the 25/30 starred on the silver screen, most notably in 'The Naked Truth' and 'Death on the Nile'. This charming 25/30 is finished in silver matched to a red leather interior and features Park Ward limousine coach work to body number 4225. Supplied new to a Mr Ralph Clifford Lynn esq. who was a comedy actor from Manchester best remembered for playing comedy parts in the Aldwych farces, first on stage and then in film. Featuring a central division and fold out picnic tables, 'GGN 27' had resided in the USA for a long period before recently retuning to the UK. Having previously been UK registered as 'DLT 428' the Rolls Royce is offered with a copy of the US title, chassis card records, bill of sale and offers the opportunity to acquire an attractive Rolls Royce with an interesting history.
