The car was fitted with a Park Ward 4 door light Sports Saloon body. 

The first owner of the Bentley was a Mr. Arthur Groom and the car was sold via Jack Olding & Co.

The Bentley was owned by a Dutch gentlemen named Mr. Lerentvald in 1985 who sold it in 2000 to Mr. Braakenburg.

A perfectionist as we can see on the car and on the invoices. A total amount of € 150.000,- has been spend by this gentlemen in the car and the result is absolutely amazing.

The body as well as the interior have been beautifully restored on a period correct way.

Technically a lot of attention has been given to the car as well. Invoices show work on the gearbox, drivetrain as well as the engine.

No money has been spared on this car which is easily recognizable when we look at the car and certainly when we drive the car.
