Description from the seller
GENERAL
This unit is equipped with a rare and attractive coupe-convertible body by the renowned British coachbuilder Barker. It was imported to Portugal from the United Kingdom many years ago. It presents an old restoration and is currently very well preserved. Launched in 1922 as the "Small Rolls-Royce", the Twenty was designed by Henry Royce to be a more compact and easy-to-drive model for the owner to drive themselves rather than a chauffeur. It was also the first model of the marque to be fitted with a six-cylinder in-line engine with overhead valves (OHV). The Barker & Co. coachbuilder was one of the most prestigious suppliers of the era, maintaining a close connection with the British Royal Family and creating some of the most elegant car bodies for Rolls-Royce.
BODYWORK AND PAINT
In very good condition, using a beautiful two-tone green combination. The bodywork is in excellent condition with no corrosion or damage as well as all fittings. The chrome parts are also in very good condition.
MECHANICS
In very good condition, the car is ready to be enjoyed and is frequently used by the current owner. The mechanical condition of this RR is excellent at all levels, indicating a low-mileage car. It recently received a new radiator as original. Everything is functioning well.
INTERIOR
Typical British interior with wood and leather. As can be seen in the photos the green leather appears original and shows some wear but is generally well preserved. The soft top is new.
DOCUMENTS
The vehicle has a CPAA Certificate issued by FIVA.
COLLECTION / DELIVERY
The vehicle is available for collection in Porto, Portugal.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
