Rolls-Royce 20HP chassis GUJ58 was sold to the coachbuilder Joseph Cockshoot & Co. Ltd, 39 Great Ducie Street in Manchester, in August 1927.
The car was intended for their client Harry Lomax, who lived in Hale, not far from Manchester.
Delivery of the car was planned immediately after the 1927 British International Motor Show at the Olympia exhibition centre, which was held between 13th and 22nd October 1927.
Cockshoot bodied GUJ58 with a fixed leatherhead coupe body including dickey seat.

The completed car was delivered on January 6th 1928, to the first owner Harry Lomax, who lived at “Westwood”, Park Road in Hale, Cheshire.
In August 1939, GUJ58 was re-registered with its current registration number GLG228.
Through the owners card we know that in October 1955 the car was owne... d by R. Gordon Humphreys, “Revelsmead” Lybury Lane, Redbourn, St. Albans.
On July 20th 1958, Mr. Humphreys sold the car to R.E. Harvie in the United States.

Robert Harvie retained possession of the Rolls-Royce until his death in 1995. In November 1995, GUJ58 was shipped from Arkansas to his cousin Richard Foa’s home in Maryland.
In 2004 Chris Mosley heard about GUJ58 and send a letter to Dr. Richard Foa and asked him if he would consider selling the car. Dr. Foa and his wife were happy that the car would be repatriated to England and in July 2004 the car was sold to Christopher Mosley, who lived at 10 Claremont Road, Windsor in Berkshire.

The car was re-registered with its original British registration number GLG228 in November 2004.
During the 2005 RREC Annual Rally at Kelmarsh Hall, the car was sold to Stephen Sugden Johns, who lived at St. Georges, Wooton Courtenay in Minehead, Somerset. Johns had GUJ58 re-commissioned by A.J. Glew.

On April 28th 2010, Stephen Johns sold the car to Andrew Booth, who lived at 41 Salisbury Road in Amesbury.
