Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[Rootes75]

Whilst attending a show yesterday with many of my family we got to talking about vehicles that my Grandfather once owned. For a number of years now I have tried to trace the whereabouts of an early 1920's Rolls Royce 20/25 reg number YM3226. She was a lovely car in maroon over black which had coachwork by Mulliner which to my knowledge was re-bodied sometime during the thirties.
The car was sold in approx. 1985 before myself or any of my generation were old enough to appreciate it
I wonder if there's anyone on this forum who may be able to shed some light on it or help trace it? We were told she was shipped to a collector in Italy.

Thanks for that Brian.

We were told it had been exported so its good to know its still in the UK. I have contacted the RREC and they have said they cannot give me information unless I give them a chassis number. I will try them again now I have this information.

Amazingly I have managed to find a modern (2011) photo of the Rolls. It was at that time painted white and the interior to me looked awful, it had been restored totally away from the original style.

Nevermind, we were just pleased to know the car survives. If only we had enough money to buy her back.
