The 1936-1938 Rolls-Royce 25/30 was the interim replacement for the 20/25 as the "small" R-R, with a larger engine and more modern late-prewar styling. As before, the 25/30 had solid-axle front suspension and a wide choice of coachbuilt body styles.
It was a tad quicker than the 20/25, though weights rose almost as quickly as horsepower in this period. Although the 25/30 was a "junior edition," it was every inch a Rolls-Royce, and built with infinite care.
