Vintage and Prestige Fine Motor Cars are proud to be offering this 1928 Rolls Royce 20hp Tourer for sale. A delightful little Rolls Royce tourer having been owned by the previous person for several decades. During that time much money has been spent to keep the 1928 Rolls Royce 20hp Tourer in tip top order as evidenced by copious bills in the service folder from the usual suspects.
A new aluminum head has also been fitted along with a brake over-haul and an engine rebuild. Originally bodied by H.J. Mulliner. During the 1930’s the Rolls Royce 20hp Tourer went through the hands of Southern coachbuilders who fitted the vehicle with more up to date vertical slats and also modified the body.
The Rolls Royce engine runs sweetly and silently as may be expected from the bills. The gear box is a delight with the whole car being taught and pleasant to drive. The 1928 Rolls Royce 20hp Tourer is in lovely condition and is used regularly for touring, having sojourned as far afield as southern Spain under previous ownership.
Painted in a jaunty yellow and black the 1928 Rolls Royce 20hp Tourer attracts attention of the right kind wherever it appears and brings smiles to faces of the bystanders. The roof is of black material and easily erected. A full set of side screens also comes with the Rolls Royce for inclement motoring conditions.
A large Klaxon lurks under the bonnet. An Auster style screen folds out in the rear to offer a modicum of protection to rear occupants and gives the 1928 Rolls Royce 20hp Tourer a very period look. A single spare is side-mounted to the passenger’s side. To the rear are a motoring trunk and also a wicker picnic basket, in this instance waiting to be filled with the necessary requisites by the new owner.
Front and rear seats are black leather augmented by black carpets covered in Rolls Royce floor mats. All in all, a delightful Rolls Royce in impeccable running condition and needing nothing.

About Rolls-Royce
Well, ladies and gentlemen, today we're diving into the illustrious history of a brand that has always embodied the very essence of British luxury and craftsmanship - Rolls-Royce.Our story begins at the turn of the 20th century when two visionaries, Charles Rolls and Henry Royce, decided to join forces. In 1904, the very first Rolls-Royce was born, the Rolls-Royce 10 hp. It was a modest start for a company that would go on to redefine automotive excellence.
But it wasn't until 1907 that Rolls-Royce truly made its mark with the introduction of the Silver Ghost. It was hailed as the "Best Car in the World" and set the gold standard for luxury motoring. With its whisper-quiet engine and exquisite craftsmanship, it was a statement of opulence and refinement.
The 1920s brought us the Rolls-Royce Phantom I, an icon of its time. It was the first Rolls-Royce to feature a 6-cylinder engine and set the stage for the legendary Phantom line. This was the era when the Maharajas of India commissioned custom-bodied Rolls-Royces that were nothing short of automotive palaces.
Fast forward to the post-war years, and we have the Silver Cloud, a symbol of post-war British optimism. The Silver Cloud was elegance personified, with its flowing lines and handcrafted interiors. It was the choice of royalty, celebrities, and captains of industry.
But if we're talking about the epitome of Rolls-Royce luxury, it's the Rolls-Royce Phantom VI, which graced us with its presence from 1968 to 1991. This was a car that made the statement that "if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it." Customization was the name of the game, and the Phantom VI was a canvas for the world's wealthiest to express their unique tastes.
Now, it's impossible to discuss Rolls-Royce without mentioning the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Produced from 1971 to 1995, it was a convertible and coupe version of the Silver Shadow. The Corniche was the quintessential grand tourer, a car for those who wished to traverse continents in absolute luxury.
But, alas, even the mightiest must face their decline, and Rolls-Royce was no exception. The company went through financial turmoil in the 1970s and 80s, leading to the takeover by Vickers plc. Then came the controversial BMW and Volkswagen ownership period, which divided enthusiasts.
Rolls-Royce regained its footing under BMW ownership, and the new millennium brought us the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII, a return to the company's roots of uncompromising luxury. The Phantom VII was a testament to British engineering and craftsmanship.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, brings us to today. Rolls-Royce continues to produce some of the most opulent, bespoke vehicles on the planet, a symbol of British imperiousness that has not waned with time. The spirit of Sir Henry Royce and Charles Rolls lives on in every car that bears the Spirit of Ecstasy, a testament to the enduring legacy of British automotive excellence.
