Looking for a prewar race car to enter in VSCC events? This Dreadnought Special might be just what you're looking for.
Built as a one-off by Bespoke Bodyworks, the Dreadnought Special started life as a 1931 Rolls-Royce 20/25, which was then rebodied in its current shell in 2014 by a later owner.
Powered by a bored-out 3.8-liter Rolls-Royce inline-six with a Godfrey Marshall K300 blower, the racer is reportedly good for 190 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque.
Accompanied by a number of historic documents, this 1931 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Dreadnought Special Is available from RM Sotheby’s as part of its upcoming London auction.
