In 1937, GWE 25 was sold to J W Rains Esq. who in 1939 returned the car to the works for a top end engine overhaul. He sold the car in 1952.

During his ownership, the car was fully restored to a very high standard.

Stylish 20/25 Sport Saloons in this condition are few and far between.  This is a car that is equally at home on the show field or out on the road.
