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.
