Interestingly, H.R Owen was never an authorised Rolls-Royce dealer though still had an ability to purchase bodies from Rolls-Royce albeit on lesser commercial terms than their competitors who enjoyed a 20%-30% discount as opposed to Owen’s maximum of 17.5%. Despite this variance, Harold Owen made things work, being Gurney Nutting’s major client from 1935 on. Indeed, it is fair to say that Gurney Nutting would have failed as a business were it not for the support from his company. It is considered by marque experts that between the failure of Bentley Motors in 1931 and the outbreak of WWII, the designs from J. Gurney Nutting & Co with sales by H.R. Owen Ltd produced the most glorious coachwork ever to come out of Great Britain with this 20/25 proudly represented by Webb’s as well befitting this description and commission.A copy of the hand-written (and original) card index lists the car as “Long type chassis with Dunlop 90 tyres, Dunlop wire wheels and spokes, R.R (sic) mascot”. Order 9981 refers! An Owen invoice of 25 June 1935 confirms Nutting as the coachbuilder with an annotated delivery date as “end of April 1935”. It would appear though that Owen did not deliver it to Nutting’s until May 17, 1935, before being returned to them for sale on 22 June 1936 to the vehicle’s first owner, ‘James Wilson Esq of London NW8’. Wilson’s tenure was for whatever reason brief as on 3 July 1937 ownership passed to Brigadier-General G.H.L Jones of St James Court, London SW1. This was followed by yet another member of the military in 1948 viz; Brigadier R.L. Hutchins whose address is listed as the United Services Club, Pall Mall. On 17 October 1952, the vehicle gravitated to the provinces and the care of G.Raymond Morgan of Bristol before returning to London and one J. Thompson Fathi, a resident of Highgate on 21 January 1965.Thereafter, the ownership trail grows cold but ending in shipment to the USA in 1997 before being bought by the vendor and shipped to New Zealand in 2011. In relation to the US connection, it is recalled that the American purchased the car in order to tour the UK and Europe but without the intention of keeping it. However, it seems that he enjoyed it so much that he took it home with him at the end of his journey! Webb’s understanding is that the vehicle was Chicago-based for many years from whence the current and sole New Zealand owner located it. Apparently, the American keeper had trouble coping with RHD clipping the side of his garage on several occasions thus prompting its sale!Upon arrival here and through the ensuing years, work was performed on GYH4 which is best conveyed per an email from the vendor:“When the car arrived in NZ, the first thing we did on arrival was to strip the motor down and remove the radiator as it is a known trait that these cars waterways clog after the use of long, heavy or unsuitable water, so the head was stripped and soaked in a cleaning agent as was the radiator for about 3 weeks. We then checked the rings, bearings and cam followers and replaced the valve springs and resurfaced a couple of the cam followers, replaced all the engine gaskets, reset the timing, clutch and brakes and cleaned and adjusted the carburettor.An overdrive was installed to improve her cruising speed when she was used for long-distance touring.
