Market commentary

This is an attractive, unusual, well equipped Bentley with an intriguing history bought at a price that is healthy for a closed 3 1 2 Litre but still a sound value in a car with its credentials. It will be appreciated at all sorts of events, not to mention Rolls Royce and Bentley occasions where its style and history will be appreciated.
