Rolls-Royce 20/25 Sedanca /Landaulette by Brewster 1930
General description :
Vintage and Prestige are proud to offer 1930 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Sedanca /Landaulette by Brewster For Sale.
Registration: SV 8957
Chassis no: GSR65
Engine no: K8W
GSR 65 was among the very few small horsepower chassis imported to the U.S.A. The Rolls-Royce factory at Springfield produced the larger 40/50 Phantom Chassis which were preferred by the American market.
This example was imported by the noted coachbuilder Brewster, and the body created for Mr Brewster himself. We are told by the third owner that Mrs Brewster was regularly chauffeured around New York on her shopping trips in this car.
In 1948 it was sold to a university professor named Bentley. In the 1960’s, it came into the ownership of the Attee family of Ohio. Specifically Mrs Joyce Attee although we were told by her that it was her husband William who was the enthusiast and member of the Rolls Royce Owners Club of America.
The Attees participated in many R.R.O.C. events until the death of William Attee on 24thJan 1986. During this time GSR65 was photographed many times and appears in “Rolls Royce in America”. Joyce Attee sold the car to a well astablished Rolls-Royce dealer.
Since the current ownership much work has been carried out, including a full engine rebuild, body frame and paintwork restoration, all wood re-veneered.
The addition of an overdrive was installed to aid with long distance touring.
Mechanically and cosmetically this 20/25 truly wants for nothing, the engine is silent and strong, pulling you along the road happily and a more than ample cruising speed thanks to the overdrive. The paintwork is unmarked and gleaming thanks to a recent re-spray in the current livery.
Lowering the Sedanca and Landaulette roofs completely transforms the look, allowing an abundance of sunshine in and completely removing that enclosed feeling.
In our showroom and ready for viewing.

About Rolls-Royce
Well, ladies and gentlemen, today we're diving into the illustrious history of a brand that has always embodied the very essence of British luxury and craftsmanship - Rolls-Royce.Our story begins at the turn of the 20th century when two visionaries, Charles Rolls and Henry Royce, decided to join forces. In 1904, the very first Rolls-Royce was born, the Rolls-Royce 10 hp. It was a modest start for a company that would go on to redefine automotive excellence.
But it wasn't until 1907 that Rolls-Royce truly made its mark with the introduction of the Silver Ghost. It was hailed as the "Best Car in the World" and set the gold standard for luxury motoring. With its whisper-quiet engine and exquisite craftsmanship, it was a statement of opulence and refinement.
The 1920s brought us the Rolls-Royce Phantom I, an icon of its time. It was the first Rolls-Royce to feature a 6-cylinder engine and set the stage for the legendary Phantom line. This was the era when the Maharajas of India commissioned custom-bodied Rolls-Royces that were nothing short of automotive palaces.
Fast forward to the post-war years, and we have the Silver Cloud, a symbol of post-war British optimism. The Silver Cloud was elegance personified, with its flowing lines and handcrafted interiors. It was the choice of royalty, celebrities, and captains of industry.
But if we're talking about the epitome of Rolls-Royce luxury, it's the Rolls-Royce Phantom VI, which graced us with its presence from 1968 to 1991. This was a car that made the statement that "if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it." Customization was the name of the game, and the Phantom VI was a canvas for the world's wealthiest to express their unique tastes.
Now, it's impossible to discuss Rolls-Royce without mentioning the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Produced from 1971 to 1995, it was a convertible and coupe version of the Silver Shadow. The Corniche was the quintessential grand tourer, a car for those who wished to traverse continents in absolute luxury.
But, alas, even the mightiest must face their decline, and Rolls-Royce was no exception. The company went through financial turmoil in the 1970s and 80s, leading to the takeover by Vickers plc. Then came the controversial BMW and Volkswagen ownership period, which divided enthusiasts.
Rolls-Royce regained its footing under BMW ownership, and the new millennium brought us the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII, a return to the company's roots of uncompromising luxury. The Phantom VII was a testament to British engineering and craftsmanship.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, brings us to today. Rolls-Royce continues to produce some of the most opulent, bespoke vehicles on the planet, a symbol of British imperiousness that has not waned with time. The spirit of Sir Henry Royce and Charles Rolls lives on in every car that bears the Spirit of Ecstasy, a testament to the enduring legacy of British automotive excellence.
