by the style of the headlamps it should be a RR 20/25 H.P., built later than 1929 but before 1933 (as the radiator badge is red) -- Last edit: 2006-09-21 16:10:04 |

This is a 1933 20/25 chassis #GBA32 with James Young saloon body. It also featured in ‘Appointment with Death’ made in 1987 with Peter Ustinov and Lauren Bacall. Even if the badge was black after April 1933, owners could still order red badges, for example GUB6 in 1934. The decision to switch from black to red was taken by RR in December 1930 for the Phantom II, the red ones being allocated to the 20/25. When Royce died, the opportunity was taken to use black as a tribute but the red badge stocks were used up on the 20/25 after his death. (BTW all lhd Phantom II (1931-1932) had black badges). |
