@johnfromstaffs - I have an unrelated question for you, did I ID these Rolls Royce pictures correctly? Couldn't find a hit on the license plate, and to me they most resembled the 25/30 model. They're pics I took at a car show/auction last year: https://flic.kr/p/2kTWLa3 https://flic.kr/p/2kTPJM9 |

^. I see no reason to disagree with your identification. (More follows) |

I have dated the registration, which was a series issued by the County Borough of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire commencing in December 1935, and current until April 1936. Allowing for the time necessary to construct and fit the coachwork, it would suggest that this chassis may rather be a 20/25, which was built until 1937, than a 25/30 which commenced in 1936. I would think that the chassis left the works in the autumn of 1935, and the finished car received its registration in January 1936. This, of course, assumes that the registration is properly applicable to the car you photographed. If so, the car was probably first owned by a pot-bank proprietor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoke-on-Trent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoke-upon-Trent Link to "www.prewarcar.com" This is a 1932 example, possibly similar coachwork. -- Last edit: 2021-04-20 23:25:58 |

Thank you for the assessment. I did consider that the plates may not be original as the car is now in New Jersey and it's not unheard of to add old British plates to make it seem authentic. |

Gamer, Any chance that this thing might be a Ford Model A in disguise? |

Model A was my first thought when I saw the wheels... |

An update: I posted what you wrote in the caption and got this reply from another Flickr member: "it's a 1936 20/25HP with a body by Arthur Mulliner. (chassis number GCJ6). Its first owner was Godwin Goodwin Embrey (1865-1938), an industrial baker." So it looks like you were very close.  |

Thank you for this. Embrey’s was a well known bakery in the Borough of Stoke-on-Trent. No doubt someone had to feed all those potters! Whilst I have books containing details of the Bentley MkVI and R-type models, chassis by chassis including an entry for my own car, and am a member of the Bentley Drivers Club since 1984, I have to rely on my wits for pre-war Royces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Mulliner https://car-from-uk.com/sale.php?id=100344&country=uk -- Last edit: 2021-04-22 00:10:18 |
