Headline: Rare 1937 Rolls Royce Up For Auction

Caption: This rare and extremely elegant Rolls-Royce - much loved by the good, the great and the wealthy during the late 1930s – is to go under the hammer. The 1937 Rolls Royce 25/30 Thrupp & Maberly sports saloon was one of just 38 made. It was supplied new to a wealthy baronet, with owners of sister cars including Thai Prince Bhanubhand Yugala and the British entertainer George Formby. Supplied new to Sir Gilbert Davis Baronet on 30th October 1937, the 25/30 was retained by him until 1963. His home at 14 Tothill St, London, SW1 - an address last listed for sale at £90 million – currently serves as an administrative centre for the House of Commons. Built for UK and Continental touring, the Rolls will be sold by H&H Classics in Cheshire as part of an online auction of Classic & Collector Motor Cars being held on December 16th. The Sports Saloon carries an estimate of £35,000 - £45,000 and prospective purchasers will be able to view it by appointment.
