1936 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Sedanca De Ville Emerges From Long-Term Ownership

A 1936 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Sedanca De Ville by Freestone & Webb is drawing attention as a well-preserved pre-war luxury automobile with documented ownership history and long-term stewardship.

The right-hand-drive example, chassis no. GHL10, is being offered after more than 20 years in the same ownership. Finished in blue over black with a black and tan interior, the car retains much of its original character while presenting as a mechanically strong and highly usable classic touring car.

The Sedanca De Ville body style remains one of the more visually distinctive configurations produced during the era, combining formal chauffeur-driven styling with elegant coachbuilt proportions. This particular example stands out for its appealing presentation and solid overall condition, despite showing signs of age consistent with an unrestored vehicle.

Cosmetically, the exterior paint displays checking and wear that reflect the car’s age, though the body maintains good panel alignment and proper door fitment. The interior remains largely presentable and functional, preserving the atmosphere expected from a pre-war Rolls-Royce. Its combination of usable condition and authenticity may appeal to collectors seeking a vehicle that has not been overly restored.

Mechanically, the car is described as a strong-running and excellent-driving example. The 25/30 model has long been regarded as one of Rolls-Royce’s most dependable pre-war platforms, valued for smooth road manners and refined engineering. This example continues that reputation with reportedly solid driving performance.

Included with the vehicle are fitted luggage pieces and a period tool set, features that enhance both its collectability and touring appeal. The car is also accompanied by its original chassis card and a known chain of ownership history, adding further historical documentation to the offering.

As an original and mechanically sound example with long-term ownership history, the 1936 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Sedanca De Ville represents an appealing opportunity for enthusiasts of classic British luxury automobiles. See it here.
