1925 Originally a Hooper Limousine re-bodied by Salmons & Sons as a Sedanca Coupe. GPK70

Originally with a Hooper body, supplied to Sir Edwin Lutyens. In 1934 the motor car was involved in a serious accident and Lutyens traded the damaged car in for a new Rolls Royce 20/25.

One of Lutyens prodigies, Olivier Hill, famous for the architecture of the Midland Hotel Morecambe, purchased the motor and had it taken to Rolls Royce for the chassis to be straightened. From there it was taken to Salmons & Sons in Newport Pagnell for a new Tickford coachwork to be fitted in the style of a Sedanca Coupe.

The RR later spent 20 years in the USA and later in a private collection in Southern Ireland. It was fully restored in 1993 and bought by Gary four years ago from Bonhams.

It apparently runs superbly after a small amount of mechanical and electrical fettling.
