Beschreibung

This all-aluminium Coach Built Park Ward is one of just thirty A-Series factory cars built, resplendent in Caribbean Blue metallic paintwork with brand-new Red St. James leather and deep red Wilton carpets this gentleman's express is propelled by the bulletproof 4.9 litre six-cylinder engine mated to four speed automatic gearbox. This numbers matching Bentley with large history file is the type very rarely seen on the open British roads and mostly reside in private collections being offered in this condition to market only very rarely.

Having been restored over a long period of time by its previous owner, it has very recently benefited from over 250 hours of skilled craftsmanship to bring this beautiful classic up to show standard, including a lower half and underside of the bonnet re-spray, new correct Bentley period headlamps, the stainless steel hub caps have been professionally polished and the beauty rings painted and then correctly coach-lined. New rear half stainless steel exhaust has been fitted as has brand new Luminition electronic ignition and fresh 235/75/15 tyres. The engine bay has been fully stripped and soda blasted then fully painted in 2K Black paint including all ancillaries. All gaskets have been replaced and carburettors rebuilt. The nickel plating has been stripped, polished and re-Nickel plated including all small tools. All hoses have been changed for new OE hoses, a new 16" Kenlowe twin-speed electric fan fitted even changed the bottom single pulley for a twin pulley should the new owner wish to fit air conditioning at a later stage. To the interior, a new West of England cloth headlining in a light classic grey has been fitted, the boot has been completely re-trimmed in light classic grey carpet, piped on the edges, all veneers stripped and re-French polished and of course, the aforementioned new Red St. James leather and Wilton carpets have been fitted, all to an exceptionally high standard. This imposing Bentley has also recently received a full service and brake overhaul and a full renovation of the power steering system. The original radio has been fully rebuilt and converted for an iPod connection discretely hidden in the glove box.

Offered on UK registration and with accompanying V5 document there accompanies a very pleasing history file including the Factory Record Details. It is now ready to stretch its legs on a host of winding European rallys. It is a real pleasure for us to offer this car for sale to the most discerning Bentley collector or enthusiast at the foremost UK Concours event.
