An unusual and stylish 'airline' sports saloon of a design that seems to have been favoured by William Arnold. As well as the streamlined 'tail', features include louvred bonnet & scuttle and broad, chrome waistline mouldings. We have just carried out some refurbishment, new clutch, etc, and a great deal was spent by the last owners on maintenance and repairs, amounting to nearly £70,000 between 1990 and 2023, all of which is documented by invoices. We also have a run of MoT certificates going back to 1990 and a full ownership list. The car is sound, running and driving well, but would benefit from some cosmetic tidying. Appealingly different! Offered newly MoT tested
Chassis No. GOH6 Reg No. CMA 948

The first owner of GOH6 was William Rowley Sutton (1874/1944) whose great-grandfather Joseph Sutton made enough money from his timber business to rent Timperley Hall which was originally built as a moated hall but by the early 1800s had been rebuilt as a brick mansion. The Sutton family concerns included timber, surveyor, rent collectors, public houses & auctioneers.After William's death in 1944 the 20/25 was bought by Norman Binns Coop of Blackburn who was an engineer, sailor and in 1928 he took our various patents for electricity and gas meters. Prior to the outbreak of WWII Norman was named in a divorce petition issued by Gordon Henry Richards (a slate merchant of Caernarfon) for his involvement with his wife Mabel Richards! The 3rd private owner of GOH6 was Sir Dingwall Lathan Bateson (1898/1967) a solicitor & friend of Noel Coward who named his speedboat Dingo after Sir Bateson. Some 9 years later and GOH6 was with the artist Peter Miller (1939/2014) who over his lifetime produced over 3,500 works varying from portraits, cars, ballet and scenery. The 1970s to the 1990s saw GOH6 spend time in America with Robert J Nelson and John Milchick both of California before the Rolls-Royce was re-imported in 1990 by Douglas Rotberg of Bletchingley.

- Our reputation
- About us
- The Real Car Company was established in 1987 by Ray Arnold & Ian Johnstone. It was a hobby that 'Got out of hand'. Our interest in cars of the type that we now sell goes back to our childhoods, and ownership back to the 1970's. Gradually more cars started passing through our hands, and by 1986 we had decided to make a full time occupation of buying and selling the cars that we love.
We started with a single car (all we could afford) which we sold quickly, and before we knew it we had 4 or 5 on our hands! This was alongside another business that we were involved in at the time. In the Spring of 1988 we gave up the other business, (exhaust systems), rented part of the premises that we still operate from now, and went full time.
We had a good start in the boom years of the late eighties, which set us up well enough for us to ride the storm of recession in the years that followed. As the years went on the number of cars going through our hands increased gradually, we built up a workforce, and we now carry a stock of around 40 to 50 vehicles and there are nine of us here. In 1999 we were awarded 'International Classic Car Dealer of the Year' by Classic Cars Magazine. The market for 'our' kind of cars is nicely stable, generally prices are creeping upwards all the time, and we feel that investing in a car - or cars - of the type that we sell is generally a great place to put your money. Don't do it just for investment, but you can get a great deal of pleasure from these vehicles, prices are - in our opinion - unlikely to drop, and you can't drive a share certificate! Some prices in the last three or four years have moved up considerably, and these cases have shown a tremendous return on investment.
Over the last fifteen years or so we have brought home several hundred cars from the USA, and we are always looking for more. If you know of a Rolls-Royce or Bentley anywhere in the world, in absolutely any condition, please let us know. Distance no object, commissions happily paid. We always particularly enjoy the 'barn finds'.
