1936 4.5 litre, Reg
No: DMX 417, Engine No: RC 491E, Chassis
No: RC 42
"Our car is one of the six 4.5
litres built in 1936 using original
parts produced prior to the closure
of the Cricklewood factory and recognised
as an original Bentley vintage.
It was delivered as a drophead coupe
to a certain Mr C.E. Wales. For a
long time this car was part of the
Majub collection. This car was completely
rebuilt in the early 1990's by Mark
Huckle and fitted with a Le Mans style
body, winning the Blenheim concours
in 1994.
We bought the car in 2001 with just
900 miles on the counter. Since then
we covered some 24,000 miles visiting
Canada, the USA, Jordan, Sicily, New
Zealand and many times France."
- Owner, Toon Boogers
