The convertible’s exterior is complemented by a tailored mohair hood and fine wool headlining, ensuring a blend of style and comfort.

Mechanically, the Bentley has undergone meticulous servicing, including a full brake overhaul and carburettor cleaning, ensuring it drives as smoothly as it did decades ago. Its history is well-documented, with a comprehensive file containing original purchase invoices, service records, and historical documents.
