Title: 1925 Rolls Royce with Van Vooren Body
Creator: Rolls Royce
Date Created: 1925-01-01/1925-12-31
Location: Birdwood, South Australia
Provenance: This Rolls Royce was originally manufactured in 1925, fitted with a Landaulette style body, with a folding hood over the passenger seats and an open driver’s seat. In 1932 and 33 it was re-bodied by Paris based coachbuilder Van Vooran with styling inspired by Art Deco, commonly seen on Bugatti, Delahaye and other luxury marques. It features a four door pillarless construction with back hinged rear doors and front hinged front doors. From Paris the vehicle was shipped to a new owner in Melbourne where it remained until 1963 when it was purchased by Mr Mayo in Adelaide. This vehicle has been extremely well maintained in its original and correct condition throughout. It was donated to the Museum by Mr Mayo.
