Listed today at P & A Wood, Great Easton. Last checked today.
This 1938 Bentley 4¼ Litre carries Park Ward's semi razor-edge sports saloon coachwork, a handsome and uncommon style on the pre-war Derby Bentley. It is an MR series car, the run that brought an overdrive gearbox, a Marles steering box and smaller 17-inch wheels.
It was originally supplied to Cecil Moores of the Littlewoods group and is described as one of very few built on the overdrive chassis as a special commission for the dealer Jack Barclay. Chassis number B54MR.
The car keeps its original Siam Blue, with Blue Grey hide upholstery. The dealer describes it as well maintained with extensive history.

Rolls-Royce/Bentley published no power figure, and there are no verified factory figures for weight or performance of this coachbuilt Park Ward body, so those are left blank.).
