Rolls-Royce 25/30 1936 - Thrupp & Maberly Limousine GRM2 4-Door

A very smart limousine, ideally suited to wedding hire use, and at the same time better than many others on offer, but also a good, spacious clean and tidy car for family fun. The car is sound in wind and limb, and the doors fit well, with no sign of drop, or movement. Paintwork is very presentable, with a deep shine, accompanied by impressive chrome plating, including the correct and attractive array of Lucas lamps (including rare and desirable QK596 headlights) and long-trumpet horns. The interior is also lovely, particularly the rear compartment of soft, high quality beige leather, excellent carpets, etc, all being fresh, correct and smart. Light and spacious inside. Mechanically, the car is all good, the engine has correct, even compressions, driving nicely, and offered MoT tested. Chassis No. GRM2 Reg No. DLG 541 Snippets: Mysterious Mrs ClarkMrs Clark registered GRM2 at Heath Bank on South Downs Road in Ashley Heath. There has been a building on this site since the late 1900s which is when the building of grand detached villa houses started to take place primarily for the wealthy mill and mine owners of the area. Very little has been found regarding Mrs Clark but we do know that in 1958 the Clark family advertised for a gardener! During the 1980s GRM2 was with James P. Moran (1934/2023) of Youngstown, New York who was a Forms Control Manager for Moore Business Forms & Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel. His wife Pat coached the youth ice hockey team for the Wheeling Amateur Hockey Association. In 1989 Pat & James retired and relocated to Carolina Beach which necessitated them selling GRM2 which was acquired by ourselves! After re-importation the 25/30 was acquired by E. H. Whitfield (minerals for pottery) of Crewe so the car ended up just 27 miles from its first British location, a small world indeed.
