About this car

This 1940 Bentley 4¼ Litre is an MR-series car, the later chassis that brought an overdrive gearbox, a Marles steering box and smaller wheels. It carries four-door All Weather coachwork by Vanden Plas, which the page says is the only example built to this design on an MR chassis. The body has wind-up windows, which makes it more practical than many cars of its era.

It is finished in black with dark red hide upholstery, and the leather is described as original. The chassis number is B150MR.

The current owner has had it for more than twenty years. The car has been well maintained during that time, and the history file holds invoices and letters going back to the first owner.
