Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

3 speed, pushbutton radio, two seats, hub caps and trim rings, windshield visor, stoplight viewer, skirts. Excellent paint, interior and chrome. Sympathetically restored to nearly like new condition. Excellent body wood with tight joints. Seats appear to have been redone but interior soft trim looks original. Windwing glass starting to delaminate. A very nice example sympathetically treated and thoughtfully done to preserve as much originality as possible and yet make it extremely presentable. Late addition to replace withdrawn 8 Liter Bentley. Not cataloged.

Market commentary

This is no 8 Liter Bentley, to be sure, but it is an exceptionally nice example of a very rare station wagon. Despite no advance warning of its presence in the auction it attracted abundant attention and brought a good, but still reasonable, price. The buyer got full value for the money.
