Bentley 3 1/2 Litre Drophead Coupé Thrupp & Maberly

This is one of only two 3½ Litre Derby Bentleys fitted with three-position drophead coachwork by Thrupp & Maberly, out of roughly 1,177 chassis built between 1933 and 1936. It is finished in ivory over brown, and the page says it still wears the blue and ivory scheme it had by 1974.

The history is unusually well documented. There were only two registered keepers up to 2005. The second of them had the car restored between 1992 and 1998, and an overdrive was added during that work to reduce engine wear. After a sale in 2014 it had a second body-off restoration at A and S Engineering. That took about two and a half years and covered all the mechanical components and a realignment of the chassis. The interior was left as it was. A history file holds the restoration records, photographs and MoT entries going back to 1994, and the odometer now reads 90,241 miles.

The dealer notes that the doors are dropping and need work. The asking price does not include that work.
