Summary[edit]

Description

The Rolls-Royce 25/30 built between 1936 and 1938 is an updated version of the 20/25 with larger engine to provide more power, as often, over-large bodies had been fitted to the earlier model leading to complaints about its performance. The 25/30 relates to the horsepower of the engine!!! That's amazing - with modern supercars putting out 100's of horsepower and a fraction of the weight also Manufacturer Rolls-Royce Ltd Production: There were 1201 made between 1936-1938 It had a 4257 cc Engine with a 4-speed manual Transmission This model Rolls Royce appears in films such as The Naked Truth (1957), Death on the Nile (1978), and several others. Although the King in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) calls his car a Phantom II, the technical details he recites are those of the 25/30. However the actual on-screen car was neither; it was a 20/25
