"This car was owned by Richard Rainshaw Rothwell of Broomriggs, Near Sawrey,
(near Hawkshead) in the Lake District. It would have been kept for 2 years in a
wooden garage and then a more substantial garage was constructed in 1928, two years
afer delivery. Richard died in 1933 and it is likely that it would have been sold
sometime in the 4 years following that. As of Sept 2017 the garage looks the same as
it would have done over 90 years ago although it has planning permission to be
converted into a dwelling so if you want to see it you will have to be quick!!" |

"First owner:
Major Rainshaw Rothwell.
The Vanden Plas Order Number 1247
for Chassis "Bentley 1490",
dated 22 December 1925, states:
Standard 4 seater Sports
Hood, Hood Cover & Tonneau Cover
in Grey Mohair
Body & Bonnet in Willey's Pale
Auto Grey
Wings & Bonnet in Manders Dutch
Green
Green Leather to match wings.
Today, AH1490 is still fitted with
VDP Body 1247 and all its original
numbered parts, probably because it
remained "in bad condition"
without attention and unused for decades
until it was rescued about 30 years
ago." |
