“Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.”

The Cars -
​
ROLLS ROYCE 20 1923
Believed to be the last surviving example of its type. This Rolls-Royce 20 HP was built in 1923 and supplied new to Sir Neville Pearson in May of that year.
At this time, Rolls Royce did not build their own bodies for cars so this one is a great example of the craftsmanship of Barker & Co - a London coach builder founded in 1710.
Affectionately known as the ‘Baby’ Rolls it is judged to “exemplify the best in early 1920s coach building.” The car is illustrated in John Fasal’s authoritative book ‘The Rolls-Royce 20’ and has featured in film version of Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mousetrap’ and the Worzel Gummidge TV shows! A magnificent limousine, this car is a real head-turner.
ROLLS ROYCE 20/25 1933
Another stunning limousine, this time with the later 3.7 litre engine.
First supplied to Sir Erik Olof Ohlson, who was a Swedish-born British shipping magnate, coal and timber merchant. He was knighted in 1915 and created a Baronet of Scarborough in the 1920 New Year’s Honours List for his efforts to bring Sweden into the British camp during the First World War. The body of the car is by Windovers of Huntingdon, a company who started as Sadlers in 1600 and continued in car bodies until 1955. This car previously is believed to have been owned by Bertie Wooster, but only in the TV series Jeeves and Wooster! Truly a classic looking and very comfortable car.
The Boats
NINA
Simply the most elegant of open cockpit launches. This beautiful 18ft long Venetian style launch, built around, 1950 has been fully refurbished with mahogany planking and floors. She is now electrically powered, and provides a beautifully silent cruise on the water. With comfortable seating, she has an all-weather cover if needed.
LOLAPALOZZA
A stunning example of a wooden built day cruiser from the 1930s. Built in 1938, this boat is a fully-restored fine example of a classic. Built largely from mahogany on oak, she is a credit to the wooden boat-builders craft.This 26-foot cruiser is known for its beam and stability. It is one of just 164 built in 1937. She has both lovely inside and outside space to enjoy and an all-weather cover if needed. She is a member of the Thames Vintage Boat Club
