Vehicle Description
1936 Bentley 3 Litre Drophead Coupe by Park WardThis 1936 Bentley 3
litre Drophead Coupe with coachwork by Park Ward has been under the
same family's ownership since 1958. Blue over black with tan
leather interior. The previous owner's aunt purchased the Bentley
through Tom Mix of Foreign Motors who she had contracted him to
find and arrange for the shipping of the vehicle from England to
the United States. In the late 1960s/early 1970s chassis B45EJ
underwent restoration. After coming out of restoration, the car
mostly sat in the garage only being brought out by her nephew (the
previous owner) sparingly during the decades since. The previous
owner finally acquired ownership from his aunt in 2012. Although
stunning from 20 feet away, the Bentley would benefit from minor
cosmetics. The interior could also use detailing including a
conditioning of the supple leather. The car runs, drives, and stops
but mechanical servicing is recommended prior to road use. The
original engine coil needs to be rebuilt but the car has been
modified to run on an aftermarket coil to show prospective buyers
that the engine does run. The convertible top is showing some
discoloration and wear around the rear window. The paint is
chipping, cracking and pitted on all panels but surprisingly still
looks presentable from a distance. The chrome also has pitting but
the beautiful Lucas lamps still have some shine. Offered with its
factory owners manuals and partial tolls. While certainly not a
show car, it represents an exciting opportunity for anyone who
truly appreciates derby Bentleys.Chassis No. B45EJPrice: $89,500
