Listed today at Vintage & Prestige, Northampton. Last checked today.
This is a 1934 Derby Bentley 3½ Litre with Park Ward drophead coupé coachwork, chassis B157BL. Park Ward's lighter bodywork suits the 3½ well, and the dealer says it is quicker than many of the later 4¼ Litre cars. The Derby Bentley, marketed as "the silent sports car", has become increasingly sought after by collectors.
The car is finished in Light Grey over Dove Grey, with dark brown leather retrimmed seats, matching door cards and hood cover, Cinnamon carpets, walnut veneers and a black mohair hood. It also has an overdrive set to engage automatically at 2,500rpm in top gear, which makes it a more relaxed cruiser.
In 2011 it had a major mechanical restoration: a full engine rebuild with a refurbished head and block, new pistons and bearings, a new clutch, and a rebuilt oil pump and distributor. The chassis was also overhauled, including axles, brakes, suspension and the one-shot lubrication system. The history file reportedly shows more than £60,000 spent, with bills from marque specialists Ristes & Co. Mileage isn't stated.
