The Crossley 25/30 was manufactured between 1919 and 1925. Approximately 600 cars were made. Chassis numbers range from 10000 to 15xxx. Numbers up to 12000 were shared with the 20/25 and 13000 onwards shared with the military 30 cwt light tenders. On some cars the chassis number is prefixed by a letter X but the significance of this is uncertain.

The engines were numbered and date stamped and engine numbers and chassis numbers were close but not usually identical. For example, engine number 15273 is stamped February 1925.

Many, probably most, of the cars had the V-shaped radiator but a flat type was available as an option.
