Dandy Dave Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) After around 18 years of rest and rebuilding the engine the old Rolls runs once again. This is the same car I've written about on here before that was tied up in an estate but the threads no longer seem to exist. Just so glad to see that it is going to caring hands and that I had a hand in getting it back together and preserved as it should be.

Dandy Dave Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Chassis number GSR39 Burnie. The fellow who now owns it has all of it history. It was brought over around 1947 and was once owned by the Mayor of Catskill NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 This is very nice to see! It is a bit funny, but I was wondering about this one just a few days ago. Thank you for the update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 The Great Depression was also felt in England as it was in North America. The 20/25 was Rolls Royce's 'entry level car', and kept them in business just as the 120 series did for Packard when it was introduced.

dibarlaw Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Wow Dave! I am so happy for you and your accomplishment. I know what a trial it had been for you to get over this long hurdle. Larry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Thanks all. C. Carl. I'll get some photos of the interior when we get some boxes of stuff out of the back. The interior is decent. Over all it is a very solid old car with patina. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Steel Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 "...preserved as it should be." Is absolutely right! It looks great, congrats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I believe that is known as growing old gracefully. Thanks for another great accomplishment, DD ! I hope the interior is as graceful as the exterior ! -CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
