Bentley 8 Litre 1931
An original, unmolested, big W.O. Bentley. Matching numbers and retaining its original Thrupp & Maberly saloon coachwork, with elevating partition and folding occasional seats. In superb condition throughout and continuous history from new. This is a very fast car and is a pleasure to drive. A rare survivor.
