Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Assembled in Australia from a knocked down kit and bodied by a local coachworks with this body, the first Bentley in Australia. Apparently just 5 owners from new including the sellers father who bought it in 1942. Extensively documented and known for years. Early Blue Label with rear wheel brakes only. Mostly original and maintained cosmetically and mechanically as needed. Runs, drives and quite marvelous.

Market commentary

This is a very usable Bentley, owned for two generations by Bentley Drivers and looking appropriately loved and used. The price is by any measure modest for its history and originality.
