The Bentley 3½ Litre (later enlarged to 4¼ Litre) was presented to the public in September 1933, shortly after the death of Henry Royce.  It was the first new Bentley model following Rolls-Royce’s acquisition of the Bentley brand in 1931.

Bentley sold only the drivable bare rolling chassis with engine and gearbox, scuttle and radiator, ready for coachbuilders to construct on it a body to the buyer’s requirements. In period, many distributors ordered their preferred bodies as showroom stock to enable them to offer cars ready for immediate sale.

This Bentley carries a rare Sportsman saloon body by Park Ward and is truly an exceptional car in excellent condition that can be enjoyed and appreciated by the owner.
