Rolls Royce 20/25
The 20/25 engine is basically a 20hp enlarged to 3,699 cc. It has six cylinders with a separate cylinder head. The valves are operated by pushrods and the crankshaft is the usual Rolls-Royce type carried on seven bearings. There were three major changes during the life of the 20/25 which affected the carburettor, brakes, clutch, spring dampers and ignition. On early cars the radiator shutters were hand operated but in 1932 thermostat powered shutters became standard. The gearbox is of four speeds with synchromesh on third and top from 1932, at which time a full centralised chassis lubrication system was introduced. Contemporary road tests gave the maximum speed as 67 mph in 1931 rising to 76 mph in 1935.
The number produced was 3,827.
