Inspection and offers invited. Offers will be submitted to the owner who wishes it to go to a good home and to be enjoyed
This 4 ½ Litre Bentley has been hugely enjoyed by its owner of the last sixty years. Records show it has had just six owners in total. Such long-term ownership has created many memories from a Bentley which has been so hugely enjoyed and which has retained a careworn charm.
That charm is coupled with the fact that this 4 ½ Litre retains its 1928 Cricklewood components, engine, D type gearbox, axles, chassis, steering box, twin Sloper carburettors and differential all as dispatched from the factory in July of 1928.
The original service records show the coachwork by Vanden Plas who then modified it in period to a sportsman’s coupe body, which underwent repairs, due to dilapidation, by Messrs. Woodall Nicholson in the late 1960’s at a cost which would have bought a new Mini at that time.
The owner has achieved not inconsiderable success in engineering and as such his knowledge and attention to mechanical detail is well documented in the extensive history file. Upon driving this 4 ½ she started on the button and drove extremely well creating that very special vintage Bentley feeling.
Never intended as a concours example this is just a lovely, cosy, comfy Bentley which wants to be enjoyed just as it has by its owner of over half a century.
A picture may be worth a thousand words. A vintage Bentley writes the whole book.
