In 1936 the 20/25 model was replaced by the 25/30, in which the bore was further increased to 3.5 inches. In all, 3,827 20/25 hp cars were made, more than twice as many as its larger sibling the Phantom II, and more than 70 percent of them survive in use. The popularity of the 20/25 saved Rolls-Royce in the 1930s. Rolls-Royce Limited built the 20/25 for seven years, and the 25/30 that replaced it had a larger engine. It was a success that saved the company.
