Bentley 4.5 litre
Four Seat Open Tourer
We understand that although KX 7520
was last used around 1985, when moved
out of the barn, the 4½ four
was found to be free running. As originally
supplied by agents Jack Olding Limited
to the first and second prewar owners,
Sir Stanley Cochrane and R O H Armstrong-Jones,
chassis XT 3626 was fitted with saloon
coachwork made by the Mayfair Carriage
Company. Although prior to 1950, Bentley
Motors/Club records indicate that
the original body was changed to coupe
coachwork, again by Mayfair, whilst
the current 4-seater open tourer bodywork
would appear to date from 1955. The
original engine was changed to the
present 1929-made power unit number
AB 3352 prior to 1950. The current
condition of bodywork and blue and
black paintwork is described as fair
and the Marchal headlamps likely to
be original. The grey interior with
one or two switches added under the
dashboard is said to be fair and,
as mentioned, the engine turns and
the C Type 4-speed manual gearbox
would appear to be good. The 24,969
miles displayed may well be the genuine
total from new and much of this unrestored
project's long history has been recorded
in the documents file.
