Copies of the chassis test sheets show that GHA 39 was tested by the works on the 21st December 1932 and was despatched to Thrupp and Maberley on the same day. It didn’t take them long to complete the Sports Saloon bodywork (ordered with painted hinge mouldings) as the car was first registered on 1st February 1933 to a Mr Trehearne who purchased it through Rootes Ltd, Devonshire House, Piccadilly. He kept it until 1964.
A bare metal respray was carried out by Ron Long and Sons in the early ‘90s. The comprehensive file of invoices also details a retrim in Connolly hide in 1999, at which point the brightwork was also re-chromed. A new aluminium cylinder head was fitted in 1986.
Thanks to a very recent re-spray in the same colour combination GHA39 is offered for sale in excellent condition. The two-tone Grey paintwork works perfectly to highlight the sports lines; the wings are long with a beautiful sweep, the bonnet is louvers continue into the scuttle, the boot is spacious from the inside and curved from the outside, there is a covered rear mounted spare wheel which works beautifully with the shaped rear bumpers. There are two front mounted horns, headlamps and a single spot lamp mounted to the front of the car; the chromework all around is in great condition.
The interior is spacious and well finished in grey leather, the boot is also finished in Grey leather with a concealed tool tray in the lid. There is a large sunroof to the front which transforms the inside feel and lets in an abundance of light.
The engine is smooth and sweet, there is a thick service file that comes with the car; the way she pulls and handles is a testament to their work, there is also an overdrive fitted which engages perfectly and allows for a higher speed with lower revs.
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.
