Registration No: 161 XUL Chassis No: BC49CH MOT: Exempt1 of just 45 RHD S1 Continental chassis bodied by Park Ward to its Design Number 701Subject to an extensive restoration which included conversion to Drophead Coupé format by A&B PriceThe beneficiary of approximately £200,000 worth of expenditure with marque specialists such as Frank Dale and Jonathan Padgett in the current ownershipUnveiled in Autumn 1955 some six months after its Bentley S1 Standard Steel Saloon sibling, the Continental version was only available to coach-built special order. Featuring a higher compression ratio and taller back axle ratio, the newcomer was found capable of over 120mph. Underpinned by the same cruciform-braced box-section chassis as the ‘basic’ S1, complete with independent front suspension, a well-located ‘live’ rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes, most of the coachbuilders that clothed it favoured aluminium over steel. Lighter and nimbler than the standard factory offering, Continentals were typically some fifty per cent more expensive too. Long considered among the best engines Bentley ever made, the S1’s 4.9 litre straight-six was famed for its blend of torque, refinement and durability and was thus well-suited to the standard fit four-speed automatic transmission. Among the era's fastest and most exclusive four-seaters, the last of 431 S1 Continentals was completed in 1959. Mentored by A.F. McNeil at J. Gurney Nutting & Co Ltd during the mid-1930s and subsequently promoted to Chief Designer there, John Polwhele Blatchley joined Rolls-Royce during WWII. A stylistic influence on every generation of Bentley from the MkVI through to the T-Series, he took control of in-house coachbuilder Park Ward’s designs from 1952 onwards and was later credited with penning the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Decidedly elegant but with various a la mode twists such as its subtly integrated vestigial tail finds, Park Ward’s Design Numbers 700 and 701 for the Bentley S1 Continental chassis were typical of Blatchley’s creative ethos. Evolving through issues one and two, later versions of the sleek, two-door Drophead Coupé and Fixed Head Coupé variants utilised the same tail-lights as the Standard Steel Saloon integrating them into the base of the tailfins. Park Ward bodied a total of sixty-nine Bentley S1 Continental chassis to its Design Number 701 (with forty-five being to right-hand drive specification) with a further eighty-nine Drophead Coupés to Design Number 700. The aluminium clad Drophead Coupé is considered to be one of the most desirable Bentley Continental variants and therefore examples today are regularly seen for sale at more than £1,000,000. This has resulted in a small number of Fixed Head Coupes being converted to Drophead Coupe specification. According to Martin Bennett’s authoritative book ‘Bentley Continental, Corniche and Azure’, chassis BC49CH was bodied by Park Ward as a Fixed Head Coupe to its Design Number 701. Delivered in November 1957 to A. Beatty, it was initially registered as ‘UXF 100’. The ‘A. Beatty’ in question is understood to have been Sir Alfred Chester Beatty; an American-British mining magnate who moved to London from New York City in 1911. Known as the ‘The King of Copper’, his donations were pivotal to the establishment and survival of what is now The Institute of Cancer Research. Little else is known about the four-seater’s early history until 1990 when the previous owner entrusted it to A&B Price for restoration and conversion to Drophead Coupé specification. Reportedly using an original Design Number 700 Drophead Coupe as a template, A&B Price carried out a limited number of such transformations around this time which were noted for their quality and accuracy. A taller gentleman, the last keeper requested that the rear hood line be raised slightly so that he could ride comfortably in the back should someone else take the wheel. Part of the vendor’s imposing Bentley Continental collection since 2008, when he purchased it from marque specialist Frank Dale & Stepsons, ‘161 XUL’ has been lavishly maintained and improved to the tune of over £200,000. Acknowledged specialist Padgett Motor Engineers have thoroughly overhauled the original engine, not to mention attending to the automatic transmission and back axle. The hood has been re-profiled and renewed in Dark Green mohair, while the interior upholstery, boot and wood veneers have been refurbished (the associated SimTrim of Spalding bills totalling £50,000 plus). The cubbies to the driver and passenger doors house a seemingly unused picnic set, while the dashboard contains a digitalised Becker Mexico stereo. Performing notably well on a recent outing, the Bentley has lived up to its name making numerous trips to mainland Europe with the seller. Accumulating sundry stone chips as a result, it nonetheless remains highly presentable to our eyes. A rare coachbuilt Bentley S1 Continental in both its original and secondary guises, ‘161 XUL’ has been better maintained than many of its siblings. A singularly elegant motorcar, it is worthy of close inspection. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: T.B.A Chassis No: B257CT MOT: October 2024Finished in Champagne complemented to a Red interiorThe subject to much expense in current ownershipOffered with a collection of invoicesFitted with an overhauled rear axleBy 1955, Rolls-Royce felt increasingly less need to visually differentiate between its own models and its Bentley-badged relations. The Bentley S1 that replaced the R-Type model was essentially a Silver Cloud I behind the distinctive 'Flying B' radiator grille. Greatly improved performance arrived with the S2 model of 1959, when the straight-six engine was pensioned off in favour of a new 6.2-litre aluminium V8 unit. This raised the top speed to some 114mph and greatly enhanced acceleration. Power steering became standard and electrically operated windows an option.Finished in Champagne complemented to a Deep Red interior, chassis B257CT has benefitted from much expense in the current ownership. In September 2023, the S2 was the subject of a full service, reconditioned front wheel cylinders, a new battery and attention to the braking system, in addition to further work carried out by AB Classics of Wisbech at a cost of £7,425.00. An overhauled rear axle has also been fitted. Furthermore, it's understood to have seen work to replace engine mountings, the front engine cross-member and exhaust fixings, with these works being carried out by Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists Colbrook. Offered with a collection of invoices, chassis B257CT will be accompanied by a current V5C Registration Document.PLEASE NOTE: The registration number photographed is not included in the sale.

Registration No: MX54 GZN Chassis No: SCBLC37F55CH10376 MOT: August 20251 of just 373 right-hand drive examples madeFinished in the elegant combination of Silver Storm with Cotswold hide and French Navy pipingExtended veneer door inlays, rear-mounted fridge, drinks cabinets and other 'Mulliner' refinementsFull main dealer and specialist service history Thoroughly revamped for 2002, the Bentley Arnage Series Two gained a stiffened bodyshell, revised suspension, new electronics and a thoroughly reworked version of the Crewe concern’s indomitable 6.75-litre OHV V8. Force-fed by twin Garratt T3 turbochargers (in place of the previous single T4), the engine also boasted an improved cylinder head gasket design and Bosch Motronic management system. Developing some 405PS and 835Nm when fitted to the new ‘R’ model, it was allied to four-speed automatic transmission and reputedly enabled the luxurious sports saloon to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.0 seconds and onto 155mph. The Series Two cars further benefited from more comfortable seats and remained an object lesson in luxury especially if ordered in ‘Mulliner Level II’ specification. Facelifted for the 2005-model year, the Bentley sported more prominent ‘quad’ headlamps. In production from 2002 – 2009, just 373 Arnage Rs were built in right-hand drive. Supplied new to Bentley Manchester to showcase the 2005-model year facelift, chassis CH10376 was intended to impress. Undeniably elegant, the Arnage R’s Silver Storm paintwork contrasts with Cotswold leather upholstery, Pampas seatbelts and a French Navy dashboard top, seat piping and carpets. Completed to indulgent ‘Mulliner Level II’ specification, the four-seater incorporates such niceties as a fridge, two drinks cabinets and extended veneer inserts to its door cards. Serviced no fewer than twelve times by main dealers and the renowned marque specialist Colbrook, ‘MX54 GZN’ is warranted to have covered just 30,900 miles from new. Returning to Bentley Manchester for its most recent bout of maintenance on 28th August 2024, the associated ‘health check’ is 100% positive. Worthy of close inspection, this impressive Arnage R must surely be one of the finest available. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, history folder and MOT certificate valid until August 2025.

Registration No: JAS 767 Chassis No: BC26BY MOT: Exempt1 of just 23 RHD Bentley S2 Continental chassis to be bodied by James Young to their design number CV100Well specified with power steering, automatic transmission, electric windows and air conditioningVeteran of numerous BDC and RREC rallies and toursThe subject of over £100,000 in expenditure in its current ownership, now coming up to 19 yearsFresh from a complete engine overhaul with Overton at a cost of c.£30,000'In the twilight of their coachbuilding years, James Young had with these cars reached the pinnacle of excellence.' - Martin Bennett, Rolls-Royce and Bentley. In the 1950s and 1960s the Bentley Continental was the world's ultimate Grand Tourer, a car in which you could set off from any European capital in the morning and arrive at Monte Carlo fresh enough to play the tables that same evening. Introduced in the autumn of 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 appeared externally unchanged from their 'Cloud and S-Type predecessors, though the duo's performance was considerably enhanced by the new 6230cc aluminium-alloy V8 engine. Although wider and shorter than the 'six' it replaced, the new power unit fitted relatively easily within the engine bay, relocation of the steering box from inside to outside of the chassis frame being the most obvious alteration to the previous arrangements. Externally the new models appeared virtually unchanged, while beneath the skin Rolls-Royce's own four-speed automatic transmission was now the only one on offer and power steering had been standardised. Despite the popularity of the 'standard steel' bodywork, introduced when production of Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars resumed after WWII, a steadily declining number of independent coachbuilders continued to offer alternatives. Arguably the most stylish were those produced to clothe the Bentley Continental which, of course, was only ever available with bespoke coachwork. One of the most prominent of these surviving firms was James Young, a company that had established itself among the foremost coachbuilders for upmarket chassis by the end of the 1930s. The Bromley-based carriage-maker had bodied its first automobile in 1908, affiliating itself with a succession of quality marques throughout the 1920s and 1930s before being acquired by the Jack Barclay Group in 1937. Its factory was devastated by wartime bombing such that the company did not resume exhibiting at the London Motor Shows until 1948, continuing to offer coachbuilt designs of distinction on (mainly) Rolls-Royce and Bentley chassis until the arrival of the unitary construction Silver Shadow/T-Series range in the 1960s. One of just twenty-three, right-hand drive Bentley S2 Continentals to be fitted with four-door sports saloon coachwork by James Young, chassis BC26BY was initially earmarked for John Rogerson Esq, however, it was actually built to the special order of Greek businessman C.H. Dracoulis. Finished in Glasso Green with Beige leather upholstery, extras comprised of a private lock to the passenger door, rear reading light, electric front windows and leather-covered steering column levers. With Mr Dracoulis changing his mind too, the Bentley was actually supplied new to W. Turner Esq. in 1961. Entering the current ownership some forty-four years later, ‘JAS 767’ has since covered some 35,000 miles on various BDC and RREC tours with highlights including: ‘Arabian Gulf Adventure’ (2009), Northern Italian Lakes (2011). North West America / Canada (2013), South East America (2017). Touring Sweden in 2018, the S2 Continental has since restricted its sorties to the UK. Treated to more than £100,000 worth of maintenance and improvement work over the past nineteen years, some £41,000 was spent in the first two years of the vendor’s custodianship, on the engine, steering, brake and exhaust plus the discreet fitment of air-conditioning. Another £33,000 followed with the last major bill being for a thorough engine overhaul carried out by marque specialist Overton Vehicle Overhauls Ltd in 2022 (c .£30,000). Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, tool kit, spare wheel and history file (invoices, hand-written notes, build records etc).

Registration No: AXW 2 Chassis No: B86AH MOT: ExemptOn offer at No Reserve from a deceased estateOrdered at the 1933 Earls Court Motor Show and delivered to Dr I.W Magill in May 1934One of 36 bodied with James Young Drophead Coupé CoachworkIn the ownership of only two owners from new, with the current family of the deceased estate having custodianship since 1974Offered with one of the most extensive history files we have had the pleasure of handling, complete with three box files of history, including invoices for restoration in the 1970s and 1990s, buff logbook, correspondence with the original owner and chassis cardsAt the dawn of the 1930s with the reverberations of 'Black Friday' (29/10/1929) being felt worldwide, competition between carmakers grew increasingly desperate. Thus, while WO Bentley sought to refine his 8 litre into the ultimate luxury carriage, Rolls-Royce responded by dabbling with a sports car concept. Their concerns as to the branding of 'Peregrine' (as the project was labelled internally) were alleviated by Bentley's collapse in 1931. Outflanking rivals D. Napier & Son, they acquired Bentley wholesale (including WO's services) for £125,257. With a department brief that "the new car must be as unlike the Rolls-Royce models as possible" Derby engineers set about preparing 'Peregrine' for flight. Built on a 'double-dropped' chassis carrying all round semi-elliptic leaf sprung suspension and assisted drum brakes, the new car used a tuned version of the Rolls-Royce 20/25's 3669cc OHV straight-six. Boasting twin SU carburettors, a wilder camshaft, strengthened con-rods and a higher compression ratio, this revamped unit developed around 120bhp (a fifty percent improvement) without compromising on refinement. Equipped with the 20/25's four-speed manual gearbox, high-geared worm and nut steering and hydraulic dampers, the resultant 'Silent Sportscar' - as the Bentley 3.5 litre soon became known - was unveiled to great acclaim at the August 1933 Ascot Races.Ordered at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1933 through Pass and Joyce Ltd, chassis B86AH was the second of 36 Derby Bentleys to be bodied by James Young in Drophead Coupé form. The chassis card records on file suggests that the chassis was despatched to James Young on the 6th April 1934, and the completed car would be first registered as ‘AXW 2’ on the 17th May 1934 to Dr Ivan Magill initially of 11 Wimpole Street. Magill was an Irish-born anaesthetist who would become recognised as one of the founding fathers of anaesthesia and would also become known for inventing the Magill forceps which are still regularly used in surgery today – he would be knighted Sir Ivan Magill by Queen Elizabeth II in 1960.The buff logbook on file suggests that Magill kept the car for over thirty years, with his latest vehicle excise duty entry in 1967. A handwritten letter dated 1971 from Dr Magill to the late second owner, Brigadier Blackburn, advises that he had covered some 180,000 miles in his ownership and had originally paid £1650 for the completed car when new. Later, when the Bentley became mechanically tired, he sold it for just £150, after attempting to revive the engine which was notably thirsty on oil at this point. It appears that the car would be sat unloved from the end of Magill’s ownership until the late Brigadier Blackburn purchased it in 1971 and was in quite a state when it was taken on. It was decided at this point that a full restoration would be undertaken and the Bentley would be entrusted to family member Nick Harley in Winkleigh to perform it. Just three years later, ‘AXW 2’ emerged transformed.Brigadier Blackburn was to use the car extensively for the rest of his life, and his daughter and the vendor for the sale recalls that he took his family and the car to Germany and Singapore for his many postings as a military officer. The car would constantly be maintained by various specialists, and there is an utterly exhaustive stack of invoices from various specialists for works including body repairs, trimming repairs internally and externally and of course mechanical maintenance. It is noted that the Bentley would also be MOT’d every year, proving that the Brigadier kept the car constantly ready for action. The latest invoices on file are from specialists Richard Parsons and A&D Engineering in 2019 for works to the clutch and transmission and for an overhaul of the engine in 2008.Tragically, Brigadier Blackburn passed away in 2023 after a long-term health condition and his daughter (and regular car and boat adventure partner) inherited the Drophead Bentley from his estate. The vendor has tried as best as possible to keep the Bentley running and has prepared the car for sale by getting it running after a blocked fuel line to the solid-state fuel pump caused non-starting. Upon H&H’s inspection, we noted that the Bentley is in overall solid condition and when recently driven for the photoshoot it fired into life with relative ease, but we do advise a full mechanical check over due to the car having been sat briefly. Thanks to the obvious love that the late long-term owner had for B86AH, it has developed a delightful patina that can only be accumulated through using the car – and the history file indicating various days out to Bentley Drivers’ Club events at home and abroad attests to its condition. Prospective owners may wish to improve the car’s cosmetic appearance if they have the taste for concours displays, however, they may also be perfectly happy with its very usable ‘driver’ condition. Now, excitingly offered to the market for the first time in over fifty years, ‘AXW 2’ is to be sold without reserve.

Registration No: P846 LJH Chassis No: SCBZP15C8VCH60202 MOT: January 2025Just 1 of 823 LWB examples producedJust 42,100 miles from new and in current ownership for the last 8 yearsFinished in Metallic Wildberry, Cream leather interior with Maroon piped seatsOffered with an extensive service history Introduced at the 1982 Geneva Motor Show, the Mulsanne Turbo signalled a revival in the winged 'B's fortunes. Somewhat raffish when compared to its Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit sibling, the Turbo breathed new life into Bentley sales. Indeed, in some ways, this glorious automotive wolf in (large) sheep's clothing can be credited with inspiring Bentley's victorious return to Le Mans. With some 300bhp courtesy of its force-fed 6.75 litre V8, the Mulsanne Turbo was reputedly capable of an easy 135mph and 0-60mph in under seven seconds. Although, for those not wishing to indulge in such prodigious performance, its smooth automatic transmission and supple independent suspension also allowed for more dignified progress. Debuting in March 1985, the evolutionary Turbo R provided an altogether more focused driving experience. Benefiting from an uprated torque converter, more horsepower, stiffer anti-roll bars and firmer damping, its handling drew considerable praise from the contemporary motoring press.First registered on 9th May 1997, 'P846 LJH' is said to be 1 of 823 LWB examples built. Finished in the attractive combination of Metallic Wildberry and Cream leather with Maroon piping and complementing Maroon carpets with lambswool over-rugs, it has resided in current ownership since 2016. After 8 years of current ownership, the odometer still displays a modest mileage of just c.42,100 miles. There is an extensive service history held within a comprehensive history file, evidencing over £16,000 pounds of expenditure over the last 8 years, in the hands of the current keeper, with specialists including well-known Michael Hibberd Rolls-Royce and Bentley Specialists. In June 2023, the following work was carried out by them: The re-seal of the brake pumps, bleeding of the brakes, new brake hoses, new front pads, anti-roll bar links, a new water pump, new plugs, throttle linkages, engine drive-belt set, air-conditioning belt, door seals, rear engine mountings, the Waxoyling of the underside, a check of the AC system and the replacement of the seat ECU module and knock sensors. Offered with a current V5C, MOT paperwork and invoices provided in a comprehensive file, this LWB Turbo R is ready for the next custodian to enjoy.

Registration No: KKL 847 Chassis No: B292BH MOT: ExemptA highly original, matching numbers example and just over 80,000 miles from newJust four owners from new with copies of much period correspondence and early service historyThe twelfth of just forty-nine MkVI fitted with elegant James Young 'Design C11' coachworkIntroduced in 1946, the Bentley MkVI was the first post-war Bentley of Rolls-Royce design. Rolls-Royce survived the war in somewhat good health, as it produced aero engines for the Royal Air Force, along with other engines for military vehicles. The first Bentley MkVI was delivered to its owner in September 1946, 16 months after VE Day. It was powered by a new 4.3-litre F-head six-cylinder engine featuring overhead intake, side-mounted exhaust valves, and an aluminium alloy cylinder head.The MkVI was also the first Bentley with standard factory-designed bodywork built by the Pressed Steel Company of Oxford, with ex-Gurney Nutting chief designer John Blatchley applying the refined detailing. The bodies were fitted to the chassis and trimmed and painted to a standard that rivalled the best coachbuilders. Custom coachwork, like that on this car, remained available at the buyer’s discretion. This was quite a change in philosophy by Bentley’s parent company, yet it reflected the reality that standardised bodies could be built in greater numbers at its new factory in Crewe, England. Through 1952, there were 4,949 examples of the MkVI produced. Both a lovely and stately automobile, MkVIs boasted of a separate chassis featuring coil-spring independent front suspension, quite an engineering advance in its day.Sporting handsome aluminium coachwork by London coachbuilder James Young, Ltd, chassis number B292BH carries body number 1911 to design C11. Supplied via Jack Barclay Ltd on the 20th February 1948 and registered as ‘KKL 847’, chassis B292BH was delivered new to Mr Charles Soukup, Managing Director of Richard Klinger Ltd. Described in correspondence, the supply of the vehicle to Soukup’s exacting standards proved to be a demanding task (correspondence on file). By October 1950, ‘KKL 847’ had passed into the hands of Norfolk farmer Stephen Farrow Esq before coming to auction in 2013 after some 23 years in a dry barn. The previous owner purchased the car at the auction and brought it back into road-worthy order. Recommissioning included repainting of parts of the front and rear wings in period-correct cellulose. It was subsequently sold via H&H in 2021 to the current owner.Fastidious with his motorcars, the vendor improved the Bentley further, with work to the exterior and feeding of the leather interior. The vendor has kept the car in a well-serviced, road-going order (documented on file), being confident enough to enjoy a tour of the continent during 2023. The recent acquisition of another coach-built Bentley has made B292BH redundant in his life, and therefore he has taken the decision to offer it for sale. It is offered with an extensive history file, including copies of the original servicing notes within the owner’s manual.

Registration No: MX03 WSW Chassis No: SCBLF34F03CH09533 MOT: July 2025Finished in the handsome combination of Tungsten Grey Metallic with diamond-stitched Black leather upholsteryVery unusually able to boast a full Bentley main dealer service history from newRecently serviced by the supplying dealer, Bentley Manchester, and benefiting from a 'health check'Thoroughly revamped for 2002, the Bentley Arnage Series Two gained a stiffened bodyshell, revised suspension, new electronics and a thoroughly reworked version of the Crewe concern’s indomitable 6.75-litre OHV V8. Force-fed by twin Garratt T3 turbochargers (in place of the previous single T4), the engine also boasted an improved cylinder head gasket design and Bosch Motronic management system. Developing some 450bhp and 875Nm when fitted to the sportiest ‘T’ model, it was allied to four-speed automatic transmission and reputedly enabled the luxury express to sprint from 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and onto 170mph (making it the fastest four-door saloon in the world at the time). The Series Two cars further benefited from more comfortable seats and remained an object lesson in luxury. Only current from 2002 – 2009, just 817 Arnage Ts were built in right-hand drive. Finished in the visually imposing combination of Tungsten Grey Metallic with Black leather upholstery, ‘MX03 WSW’ must be one of very few Arnage Ts able to boast a full Bentley main dealer service history (especially at twenty-one years old). Warranted to have covered a modest 59,000 miles from new, the super saloon features extra thick, diamond stitched hides adorned with Silver ‘Winged-B’ motifs, dark wood veneers and engine turned aluminium inserts to the dashboard and door cappings. Supplied new by Bentley Manchester, the four-seater returned to the same establishment for the most recent of its seventeen services just last month with the associated ‘health check’ being fault / recommendation free. Starting readily and running well during our recent visit, ‘MX03 WSW’ still turns heads wherever it goes. The rear brake discs carry the Bentley insignia and nice ‘handbuilt’ touches abound such as the cross-hatch patterning to the insides of the exterior door handles. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, paperwork and MOT certificate valid until July 2025.

Registration No: APV 758B Chassis No: B204EC MOT: March 2025Finished in Midnight Blue with a delightfully patinated light Blue interiorPrevious bodywork restoration and repaintOffered with S3 handbook, Green continuation log book, collection of old tax discs and invoicesBy 1955, Rolls-Royce felt increasingly less need to visually differentiate its own models from the Bentley-badged ones. The Bentley S1 that replaced the R-Type model was therefore basically a Silver Cloud I behind the distinctive 'Flying B' radiator grille. It was the last Bentley powered by the company's venerable 150bhp 4.9-litre straight-six engine. The newcomer retained a separate chassis and body, facilitating the manufacture of special-bodied versions. Even so, the vast majority were delivered with the standard steel one. Suspension was independent by coil springs at the front and by live axle and semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Braking was by servo-assisted drums all-round. Improved performance arrived with the S2 model of 1959, when the straight-six engine was finally pensioned off in favour of a new 6.2-litre aluminium V8 unit. This raised the top speed to some 114mph and greatly enhanced acceleration. Power steering became standard and electrically operated windows an option. The model's final iteration was the S3. Introduced in 1962, it featured a lower bonnet line, different grille and twin headlamps. The interior modifications included individual seats for the front occupants and increased legroom for those in the rear. Engine power was increased by seven per cent. Some 1,630 S3s were produced between 1962 and 1966.Finished in Midnight Blue with a delightfully patinated Light Blue interior, 'APV 758B' has been maintained by the likes of Bentley Cheltenham and marque specialists RR&B garages. Understood to have been the subject of a previous bodywork restoration and repaint, it is noted in the history file that the S3 is fitted with fibreglass front wings and sills. An invoice is on file for the aforementioned RR&B garages for over £12,500 dated January 2023 which includes attention being paid to the braking system. Offered with S3 handbook, Green continuation log book, collection of old tax discs and invoices, plus MOT certificates back to 1967, and although exempt a current MOT certificate into March 2025.

Registration No: GD 4233 Chassis No: 1171 MOT: ExemptOne of just twenty-four Bentley 3-Litre cars known to have survived with its original J. Gurney Nutting coachworkMatching chassis, bonnet, steering box and rear axleFitted with a period 3-Litre power unit from a Speed modelNow presenting with gorgeous patination after an extensive restoration in the 1970s and well maintained sinceA wonderful and imposing Vintage Bentley"It was not the means whereby the 3-Litre Bentley performed, but the manner in which it did it, that endeared the car to sportsmen who took pride in their driving. The engine was remarkably flexible, strong and reliable, the gear ratios admirably chosen, the handling excellent and the quality unremittingly high. So, also, was the price, but an ever-growing reputation, augmented by striking racing victories - including the Le Mans 24 hours of 1924 and 1927 - ensured its success" ('Classic Sports Cars' by Cyril Posthumus and David Hodges).A railway engineering apprentice turned aero engine designer, Walter Owen Bentley previewed his first creation, the immortal 3-Litre, at the October 1919 London Motor Show (though, he would not deem it production ready for another two years). Inspired by a 1914 Humber TT racer, the newcomer's ladder-frame chassis was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and rear-wheel drum brakes (four-wheel brakes becoming the norm from 1924 onwards). The car's heart and most advanced feature was its 2996cc engine. A long-stroke four-cylinder (80mm x 149mm) that prioritized torque over top-end power, it boasted a five-bearing crankshaft, shaft-driven overhead camshaft, monobloc construction, twin ignition, four valves per cylinder and aluminium pistons.Developing between 65bhp and 88bhp, the unit was allied to a separate four-speed gate-change gearbox. Supplied in bare chassis guise only, albeit with a choice of wheelbase lengths and engine tune, the 3-Litre remained in production until 1929 by which time some 1,621 are thought to have been made. As well as its two Le Mans victories, the Bentley enjoyed considerable success at Brooklands and even broke the 24-hour world record around Montlhery setting a 95mph average speed.According to Dr Clare Hay’s authoritative book, 'Bentley - The Vintage Years', chassis 1171 was built as a 1926 model on the standard 10ft 10in wheelbase and fitted with four-seater Tourer coachwork by Gurney Nutting. Supplied new by G.M. Gladstone Motors Ltd of Glasgow to J.D. Cousin Esq of Kinachoile House, Dunblane, the Bentley was first registered as ‘GD 4233’. Remaining north of the border, the 3 Litre then belonged to Peter Sinclair Esq of Alloa and Frederick Shanks Esq. of Arbroath (the latter’s family being well know industrialists with links to Queen Victoria and St Andrew’s Golf Course). Post-WW2, the Tourer had passed to ‘A. Peduzzi’ who may or may not have been Anna Maria Peduzzi (the first woman to race for Scuderia Ferrari). Fitted with a Ford diesel engine during the 1960s, the following decade saw chassis 1171 extensively restored by Liverpool businessman, Matthew Wright Esq. Sympathetically done, the refurbishment included the sourcing and installation of a correct-type replacement powerplant from a Speed Model (engine number LM1336) and chassis overhaul by Rubery Owen. Repainted Black and re-trimmed in Red, the 3 Litre was also rewired and had attention paid to its gearbox, steering brakes and suspension etc. Changing hands thereafter, chassis 1171 joined the vendor’s impressive collection in 2015. Remarkably well-preserved given the age of its renovation and a tribute to Mr Wright’s thoroughness, the Tourer now exhibits a gentle patina. Starting readily and running well during our photography session, ‘GD 4233’ is due to be driven to IWM Duxford for the sale. Aided by his W.O. Bentley owning neighbour who has advised on, and helped with maintenance, the vendor believes chassis 1171 to be more than up to the journey and indeed has used it on a frequent basis albeit for modest journeys. Pleasingly retaining its original bonnet, magneto switch plate, back axle and steering column (all of which are numbered correctly) not to mention its original Gurney Nutting coachwork which still carries its Bentley Motors tag, this delightful 3 Litre has much to recommend it. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and full weather equipment. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: WW54 PDW Chassis No: ZAMCD39C000015160 MOT: June 2025c.99,800 miles and just 4 former keepers recorded on HPIOffered with owner’s bookpack and well stamped service bookFinished in Grey Metallic complemented to a Tan leather interiorIntroduced at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, the fifth-generation (M139) Quattroporte was styled by Ken Okuyama of Pininfarina whose other credits included the Honda NSX and Enzo Ferrari. More driver-orientated than a Bentley Flying Spur or range-topping Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Maserati had a firmer ride and, in early cars at least, a ‘Duo Select’ paddle-shift transmission that was not at its best in fully automatic mode. Powered by a Ferrari-derived 4.2 litre ‘quad cam’ V8 engine developing 395bhp/333lbft and reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds and 171mph, the Quattroporte featured a truly sumptuous interior. For the money there are very few cars that can imbue occupants with the same sense of occasion as a M139.First registered on 24th September 2004, this Quattroporte was ordered in Metallic Grey complemented to a Tan leather interior. 'WW54 PDW' has covered some 99,800 miles with just 4 former keepers recorded on HPI. It is being offered with the owner’s bookpack and a well-stamped service book plus a collection of invoices for servicing and maintenance. This handsome and smart example comes to the sale with a current MOT Certificate valid into June 2025. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: 208 UXF Chassis No: B332FV MOT: April 2025The subject of an extensive and high quality past restorationA 'cut above' the majority of surviving MkVI Saloons and worthy of close inspectionNotably good body, paint and chromework plus much of its original interiorPrevious engine overhaul by a leading RR&B Specialist Association MemberIntroduced in 1946, the MKVI was Bentley's first post-war model. Built around a massive cruciform-braced chassis equipped with independent front suspension and a leaf-sprung rear axle, its freshly developed 4257cc OISE straight-six engine was mated to four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph when clad in the factory's understated but stylish 'standard steel saloon' coachwork, the MKVI developed a reputation for being a refined yet responsive drive. No ordinary MKVI, chassis B332FV was for many years the property of a classic car restorer who specialised in post-WW2 Bentleys. Refurbished to award winning condition as a calling card for his business and proudly exhibited at the 2016 Bentley Drivers’ Club’s Concours d’Elegance, the four-seater remains extremely presentable. The front seats have been partially retrimmed and seatbelts added but the rest of the interior appears pleasingly original with leather bound carpets and the correct matt finish to the wood veneers etc. Indeed, the seller considers ‘208 UXF’ to represent ‘originality at its finest’. Starting readily and running well during our visit having had a major engine overhaul circa fifteen years ago, the MKVI has been enjoyed for a variety of journeys this year including a 200-mile plus round trip to Silverstone. The sunroof is operational and most of the original tools present. Proudly featured on the restorer’s website and Facebook page, there is even a video of the Bentley in motion on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8uyN9SKg8U). Built in 1949 but not registered until January 1950 when it was bought new by a Kings Lynn-based solicitor, the Sports Saloon subsequently belonged to Major-General Sir Allan Henry Shafto Adair, 6th Baronet, GCVO, CB, DSO, MC & Bar, JP, DL; a hero of both World Wars. Off the road for a time, the four-seater was re-registered with the DVLA during 1979 sporting the number plate ‘GVF 1’ for several decades. Treated to a renovation which would far, far exceed the guide price if carried out today, ‘208 UXF’ is worthy of close inspection.

Registration No: YJ56 DRX Chassis No: SDBDE23W67C044949 MOT: October 202447,400 recorded miles and 5 former keepersOffered with handbook and service bookCollection of invoices and current V5C documentIntroduced at the New York Motor Show in April 2006, the Bentley Continental GT Convertible (or GTC) proved an immediate sales success. Determined to engineer the most torsionally rigid open four-seater that money could buy, the Crewe manufacturer incorporated additional steel tubing within the newcomer's A-posts and windscreen frame, reinforcing its sills and cross-braced the floorplan to a greater degree. The result was a class-leading 16,595ft-lb per degree. A very near match in dynamic terms for its Coupe sibling, the Convertible utilised the same crushingly powerful twin-turbocharged 6-litre W12 engine, Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive system, massive ABS-backed disc brakes and sophisticated all-round independent air suspension. Electro-hydraulically operated, the Bentley's luxuriously padded fabric roof not only stowed away neatly but also provided almost limousine levels of refinement. Reputedly capable of over 190mph when topless, the GTC featured two sturdy steel hoops concealed beneath its rear headrests which could be deployed within fractions of a second if the onboard computer sensed an impending roll. Arguably more of a 2+2-seater than a true four-seater, the model could raise or lower its hood at speeds of up to 20mph (a nice party piece in slow-moving traffic).First registered on January 1st 2007, ‘YJ56 DRX’ is finished in the very attractive colour scheme of Light Blue Metallic with Cream leather upholstery and Dark Blue mohair hood. Displaying c.47,400 miles and having had 5 former keepers, the Bentley has been subject to the fitment of a replacement suspension compressor and suspension strut, as well as the A/C regassed in 2021 totalling some £2,200. Subject to an oil and filter change in January of this year the Bentley is offered with owner’s handbook and service book, collection of invoices, V5C document and a current MOT certificate until 29th October 2024.

Registration No: N850 JNO Chassis No: SCBZR15C9TCH57638 MOT: May 2025Unique specification and the only example with moon roof option deletedc.£188,000 list price at launch in 1996One of just six examples producedThe name of James Young has been synonymous with the highest standards of craftsmanship since the early days of the age of the motor car. Having been a coachbuilder famous for high-quality carriages since the mid-1800s, the company’s first commission for automotive coachwork came in 1908 when a sitting Member of Parliament engaged it to clothe a Wolseley chassis. From the 1920s there began a long association with Bentley and Rolls-Royce and by the late 1930s, following the end of the Great Depression and the appointment of new chief designer Mac McNeil (recently poached from Gurney Nutting & Co), the company was producing designs that became increasingly sought after by discerning clients the world over. Sadly, by the 1960s the coachbuilder’s art was no longer in commercial demand and the final James Young bodies would adorn the Rolls-Royce Phantom V before the company’s demise in 1968.Produced as a strictly limited edition at the behest of H R Owen to celebrate their acquisition of the James Young coach-building firm’s name, the Turbo R James Young / Turbo R H. R. Owen was produced only in 1996 and was available with a list price of almost £188,000. Just six examples were built. Available only in Kensington Green or Madagascar Purple, as optioned here, the exclusive model featured a number of improvements and modifications over the standard offering. These included a small limousine-style rear window for additional privacy, styled air ducts, colour-keyed and chrome meshed radiator and specially commissioned body-coloured 17-inch five-spoke wheels and so on. Mechanically, the cars featured a sports gearbox and uprated engine management system which pushed power to approaching 400bhp. In addition, the example offered here features a deletion of the moon roof option and upgraded headlights and fully remote control sound system. It also features a telephone in the boot, presumed to be for use in a kidnap or hijacking situation! The tool kit is said to be unused and even retains the white gloves. Correct Avon Turbospeed tyres are fitted to the special wheels and the car is said to 'drive and perform beautifully with effortless power' from its 6750cc engine. Having been used regularly but sparingly over the past ten years it is said to retain all its original items and to clearly have been cherished throughout its life. The odometer currently registers some 72,000 miles and the car will be driven to the auction venue. Now only being offered for sale for the sole reason it has to make way for a Bentley Continental Convertible, this stunning and exclusive Bentley comes with the V5C, a current MOT test certificate to May 2025, driver’s handbook, service books, spare keys, numerous invoices, old MOT test certificates, order and build sheet with specification documentation and a quality interior car cover.

Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, speeding teardrop glasshouse, and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured aluminium construction, independent suspension, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. A rival to the Porsche 911 and Mercedes-Benz SL, the Jaguar XK / XKR remained in production until 2014 by which time a mere 54,000 had been sold (vs 212,704 997s and 169,443 R230s).Manufactured in 2006, the XK Convertible offered was registered new on the 16th June and is finished in the striking colour combination of Zircon Blue paintwork with complementary Caramel leather interior upholstery and a Black hood. Wearing plate ‘LJ 9’ from virtually new until exiting first ownership in 2019, the Jaguar is offered now having covered just 47,000 miles from new and had just a mere two former keepers. Supplied with a history file that includes the book pack with stamped service book which illustrates thirteen services, almost all from Jaguar main agents, with one from a Rolls-Royce/Bentley specialist (the most recent) last year at 45,010 miles. Rated by the vendor as having ‘very good’ electrical equipment, paintwork and interior trim, the bodywork, engine, and gearbox are all rated as ‘excellent’.

Registration No: T.B.A Chassis No: SCBGH23W3CC076501 MOT: January 2025Just 47,000 miles from newBreeze Brunel Special Edition, costing some £141,000 when newVery attractive colour scheme and nicely presented throughoutSupplied with a history file including original well-stamped service bookThe Bentley Continental GT was the first car released by Volkswagen AG after their acquisition of the company in 1998 and was unveiled at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, followed by Le Mans, Goodwood Festival of Speed and the annual Bentley Drivers Club meeting at Silverstone. The car differed significantly from the previous Continental R and T models in terms of its concept; although much of the car is hand-assembled, this Bentley was made in significantly larger numbers than previously. As a result, the price at launch was substantially less than the Continental R, thus exposing the car to a much wider and new customer base as a more affordable car. The second generation continental GTC was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, followed by the 2012 Qatar International Motor Show. A Continental GTC is equipped with a 6.0 litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine and produces 603bhp with an impressive top speed of 202mph.Supplied new by Bentley Kent from order number 300154, chassis number ‘076501’ was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 1st of March 2012. A rare Breeze Brunell Special Edition, the GTC also received the Driving Specification and Convenience Specification options when new, with these three costed options adding some £10,000 to the price alone, with the total price surpassing £141,000 new. Presented in the stunning colours of Breeze paintwork with Blue roof, with complementary interior upholstery of Breeze main hide with Brunel secondary hide, carpets, emblem stitching and steering column cowl, Tamo Ash wood veneers complete the interior presentation. Further provided with cost options of chromed matrix-style grille, deep pile overmats, first aid kit and warning triangle, massage seats and seat ventilation, neck warmer, and space-saving spare wheel, the GTC is offered now having covered just 47,000 miles from new.Entered from a private collection, the Bentley has benefitted from a new battery at the end of last year, an air conditioning service last year, and a full set of tyres some 4,000 miles ago. Most recently serviced at 42,412 miles by Bentley Cambridge, the GTC is accompanied by a history file that contains the original owner’s handbook, satnav DVD, and well-stamped service book which displays eleven stamps. Additionally included in the paperwork file are previous MOTs and a no advisory MOT until January, a collection of invoices, the full specification sheet, and a current V5C document. Only making way due to the planned arrival of a new example, this scarce limited edition variant that comes with a very striking colour combination, this GTC is not one to be overlooked.PLEASE NOTE: The registration number shown in the images is not included in the sale.

Registration No: DLO 936Chassis No: B-135-FCMOT: ExemptEntered from The Merlin CollectionWarranted 15,800 miles from newThe most original and best conserved Derby Bentley we have ever encounteredAccompanying documentation includes correspondence between Messrs Hayward and Angell, handwritten receipts from Mr Webster of Edinburgh Motors for the purchase price (£1,350, 7th May 1954) and tax / insurance (£32, 18th May 1954) plus another for seven driving lessons (£5 8s 1d, 8th June 1954). To have depreciated by just £140 over seventeen years indicates that Mr Angell's appreciation for 'a motor car the like of which is grace personified compared to the pressed-steel, bloated tin-can automobiles as produced by my country today' was not hyperbole. Treasuring the Bentley, its new owner acquired a Riley Kestrel 15/6 for everyday usage and later a Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster to drive on high days and holidays. Stored at Edinburgh Motors until December 1973 when the oil crisis forced its closure, the 3½ Litre accompanied the Angell family to first Glasgow and then Kirkliston. Accompanying MOT certificates issued in May 1970 and April 1980 list recorded mileages for the Vanden Plas Drophead Coupe of 15,030 and 15,195 miles respectively. One of its few public outings being to the 'Bentley Shell 500 Golden Jubilee 1919-1969' celebrations at Oulton Park (a sticker for which remains affixed to the windscreen). Ever wary that a road traffic accident would compromise its remarkable originality, Mr Angell ensured that 'DLO 936' spent less and less time on the public highway. Parked up in his Kirkliston garage for thirty odd years, it benefited from surroundings that were not only watertight but also conducive to preservation in terms of moisture and light levels. Reluctantly offered for sale by Mr Angell's heirs in 2013, the Bentley joined The Merlin Collection that same October via our IWM Duxford auction for £213,750. Blown away by the Vanden Plas Drophead Coupe's exceptional originality, the vendor set about recommissioning it to an exhaustive, obsessional degree. For instance, he spent a week soaking the original fanbelt until it could be reused and was genuinely upset that the period spark plugs could not be made to perform satisfactorily! Losing count after investing 1,500 hours of labour in the project, his efforts meant that all but one of the factory-fitted leather gaiters have been successfully reconditioned. Very few professional restorers, regardless of their calibre, would have matched the seller's attention to detail or patience. He re-used almost all the original nuts and bolts with most of the modern interlopers being found in the stainless-steel exhaust system (complete with correct cut-out mechanism). Keen to do the best job possible, the seller enlisted the help of renowned Derby Bentley expert and the W.O. Bentley Memorial Foundation's Chairman of Trustees, Ken Lea who carried out a first-hand inspection and advised on works. Mr Lea was reportedly amazed to discover that the ash frame was so sound even down to the fillets used between the running boards and their brackets and the sawn-off ends of the scuttle hoops. A careful strip down of the original engine (number E9BC) revealed bore wear in keeping with the recorded mileage and more surprisingly that all six pistons were stamped with the engine number and individual serial numbers. After much deliberation the decision was taken to rewire the four-seater for safety reasons. Needless to say, the replacement wiring loom is faithful to factory blueprints with an authentic cloth-bound look. The vendor also chose to install a higher final drive ratio inside the original rear axle casing and, replace the hood and upgrade the fuel system. The initial final drive ratio and petrol pump come with the car as do letters between Mr Angell and Vanden Plas concerning the soft-top's deterioration (the former coachbuilder advising that as a subsidiary of Austin it was no longer in a position to renew the hood). Indeed, the very few modifications made to improve drivability in today's traffic - including discrete indicators - are all easily reversible without affecting the car's fundamental essence. Where one of Vanden Plas's standard Drophead Coupe bodies for the Derby Bentley chassis would feature plain wings, limited bonnet louvers and plain rubber covers for the running boards as standard, the one fitted to 'DLO 936' sports more sculpted wings, louvers that extend through to the scuttle and individual rubber strips for its running boards. Interestingly, chassis B135FC was delivered some eleven months later than chassis B133FC (a Thrupp & Maberly Saloon supplied new to Lord Harris MC) so the former may well have been built to special order. There really is no substitute for inspecting 'DLO 936' at first hand. Only then can one appreciate its freakish originality and state of preservation. A matchless testament to the craftsmanship of Bentley and Vanden Plas, the car is also a great credit to each of its three custodians: Robert S. Hayward (1937-1954), W. Randolph Angell (1954-2013) and The Merlin Collection (2013-present). A worthy competitor in the conservation class of any major Concours d'Elegance, this incredible ‘matching numbers' 1937 Bentley 3½ Litre Vanden Plas Drophead Coupe is accompanied by its original Bentley Motors Guarantee complete with covering letter and carboard tube (dated 11th March 1937), a continuation buff logbook, old MOTs, assorted storage bills, Bentley 3½ Litre Instruction Book (with B135FC on the inside front cover), copy RREC chassis cards, false starts to Mr Angell's handwritten memoirs (as they relate to the Bentley), sundry Bentley Drivers Club correspondence / publications, circa £20,000 worth of bills from Ristes, Will Fiennes and MWS International etc plus assorted other paperwork. Sliding behind the wheel, it is entirely appropriate that one's view forward is given a sepia tinge by the windscreen (the cellophane sandwiched between its glass layers having yellowed with age) because driving 'DLO 936' is liking stepping back in time. 'Unique' is an overused word but chassis B135FC is that and so much more. For anyone hoping to amass the definitive Bentley collection, it surely deserves a place.For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737
