Seller's comments about 1935' Bentley Derby 3,5 Special
Lovely well documented 3 1/2 Litre with lightweight Boattail Style coachwork. Matching NO. Originally Chassis B30EF was delivered in July 1935 as a Park Ward Saloon. According to the files on hand, it is assumed that the car was converted to its actual body sometimes in the late fifties. The files on hand reveal that the car was reregistered in 1958 and from there on the files show the history of the car. This car is also shown in Ray Roberts Book „Bentley Specials Special Bentleys“ in its first edition. Since the car is in my possession I have added a Spare Tyre mount to the driver's side. In winter 2016 the engine was stripped and checked from a Specialist. There are no wear and tear signs at all at the cylinder or any other moving parts. We replaced some bearings and repaired the water pump and oil pump, and cleaned all coolant and oil lines.The car runs nicely starts easy even in colder conditions and is a pride to drive. We took this Bentley on our annual Mille Miglia Tour in May 2015. It covered 3285 KM in just about a week without having any problems, and never showed any sign off overheating, in warm if not hot conditions. This is a very reliable nice driving car that attracts quite a crowd wherever you stop. As I am just working on another Prewar car I might be enticed to sell this beauty to anyone genuinely interested. A realistic offer will be considered. The car is registered in Germany as a Historic car, and can be viewed and testdriven any time. This is a very comfortable, easy steering and very reliable car to drive .It has heaps of space for luggage in the rear. For all those taller persons, this car has enough room and space for the rather taller person. (I am 1,94)
