The car is typical of Rippon, being very high quality, strong in construction, with wonderful door fits, closing with satisfying ‘clunk’. Full of charm, character and desirability, and the car is featured on the front cover, as well as on several pages of “Rolls-Royce 20hp, 20/25, 25/30 & Wraith in Detail” by Nick Walker, and a copy of this book is included.

The comprehensive history file includes correspondence between owners, photographic records of work done, including a full engine overhaul, invoices, note books, and the original handbook, stamped with the car’s chassis number.

Exterior paintwork is Prussian blue over black wings and is in good order. The seats are lightly patinated blue Leather & are very well sprung & comfortable to sit in. The car runs in silence due to the extensive engine rebuilt & Starts readily "off the switch" most times once warmed up.

All-in-all, a charming car, nicely original, mature in an appealing way, driving well, serviced, and newly MoT tested. This is one of those rare cars with exceptional coach work both in style & construction.
