Some History of the Rolls-Royce 20hp

3,127cc engine offering smoothness, silence and performance befitting the reputation earned by the Silver Ghost. Intended for the now fashionable owner-driver, the 20hp was a great success for the company throughout the 1920s in a period of uncertainty following the Great War, some 2,940 chassis being produced from 1922-29. Modifications over the seven year production run from 1922 included the introduction of four forward speeds, right-hand gear change, and also four wheel servo brakes which were adopted from 1924. .
