Description

1936 Derby Bentley 4.25 Vanden Plas all weather Drophead
Chassis Number: B123GP
RegistrationNumber: JB9684
Design No: 1349
Body No: 3475
Supplied new to one G Palmer whom was chairman at the time of the famed Huntley & Palmers Biscuits.
Stunning condiiton & with rare & desirable 4 door coachwork by Vanden Plas. Lowering the roof of this car is simplicity itself with just one central front latch to undo after which the roof easily folds down going completely flush with the body work. The window runners then fold down disappearing into the door tops.
This car comes with a simply eye watering set of bills from Fiennes Engineering covering a fulll engine rebuild & mechanical overhaul. As a result the car runs beautifully & has been used sparingly on various tours by the current owner; a bentley afficionado. The restoration by Fiennes was completed in 2011. The workshop logs are well worth reading & give an insight to the meticulous works carried out on the vehicle with nothing whatsoever having been left out.
The paintwork is in fine condition resplendent in cream over red along with a black roof. To the interior is black leather again in very good order along with a black hood.
Simply put this is a car that wants for nothing & is ready for immediate extended use. Viewings are by prior appointment in the north of Dorset. It is always a leasure to handle a car for which no exuces need be made. The quality of the coachwork & restoration speak for themselves.
