1935 Bentley 3.5 Liter Pard Ward Saloon- B60FB Scottish Show Car
Award Winner Two families from new 44,000 miles High speed rear end
This is out of our personal collection. Since 1935, this 1935
Bentley 3.5-liter Sports Saloon by Park Ward has been owned by only
two families before me and has accumulated a fully documented
44,000 miles from new. And according to the factory documents, she
was built to be the 1935 Scottish Show Car. The first owner was Lt.
Col. J.H. Courage, who was perhaps best known for being the
proprietor of a well-known British brewery and who resided in a
sprawling mansion known as Kirby Fleethom Hall in Northhallerton,
UK. Col. Courage took delivery of the Bentley on November 29, 1935.
The second owner was his nephew, Mr. Charles Ashby who acquired her
in 1962. She was last registered in 1967 and had accumulated 18,000
miles. By 1975, B60FB was bought by its third owner, Ray Huffman
from Shawnee, KS. She still wore her original UK plates that she
bares today, SN 7015. Ray was a wonderful caretaker for her,
participating in numerous tours and shows. He maintained and
improved the Bentley throughout his ownership of over 30 years.
During those three decades, he had added 25,450 miles, logging
every service in detail in a small notebook. This notebook is
incredibly valuable as a reference to its history. In September of
1998, the rear end was sent to Fiennes to be completely rebuilt
along with being upgraded to a high-speed rear end gearing. They
installed a 3.64:1 ratio providing about a 13ncrease in speed over
the standard gearing. This was a $9,350 investment in 1998! In
addition, we installed a full set of new Stahl radial tires. After
Rays passing, B60FB was inherited by Rays son, Ron Huffman, MD.
Unfortunately, Ron passed shortly after his fathers passing and I
ultimately acquired it from his widow. The connection was made
through Simon Curzon of Zenith Motor Company, who helped prep the
Bentley for sale. Today, B60FB just passed 44,000 miles and we have
had an opportunity to make many cosmetic and mechanical
improvements. In 2020, B60FB was awarded Best in Class at the RROC
Annual Meeting in San Diego and has participated in numerous tours.
B60FB comes complete with the original UK registration card,
complete historical documentation, 50 years of service information,
tools, Owners Handbooks, car cover and much more. For more
