1st TIME OFFERED FOR SALE FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTIONIN 35 YEARS

Up for sale is a VERY RARE 1934 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Hearse with a body by Alpe & Saunders. Chassis GUB72 was initially fitted with an enclosed-limousine body style delivered on March 2nd, 1934 to Henley’s House Ltd for “Use in the U.K. Town and Touring.” The hearse body was fitted shortly afterwards. All documentation from the Rolls-Royce Owner’s Club proving authenticity provided with the car. UK registration “BGJ954” is matching with both front and rear plates. California Blue Plates are also matching.

This car has its original drivetrain, which was rebuilt on June 28th, 1984, with new bearings, ground crank, new wrist pins, etc. The rebuilt engine has been driven less than 1,000 miles since that time. See the video below of the engine freely turning over and running. The engine is free, and although it will run on starting fluid, it does not run by itself (carburetor needs to be cleaned in order for it to run properly). Many records and receipts to show the various parts and work done to the car over the years, such as re-chromed items, rear door glass seals, rear door handle hardware, window regulators, radiator fan bearings, drums turned, clutch resurfaced, and many more.

All glass is in excellent condition. Chrome on the front of the car is in excellent condition as well. The car does not appear to have any rust, except for some on the surface. The all-aluminum body and undercarriage is in good condition for its age, as it has been in storage for many years. All parts listed in the photos are what comes with this car. Many wood and trim pieces, along with the wheel covers, and tools. Tires hold air and the car rolls freely for transportation.

Comes in “as is” condition with no warranties. Buyer is responsible for payment of a $1000 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of auction end, and for shipping/local pickup. Balance must be paid within 3 days, and shipping of the car needs to be complete in 10 days. Will aid in worldwide shipping. Sale will be final once auction ends, no returns.
