"Dear Mona, I was interested to see the pictures of the 1928 Bentley Saloon, Chassis XR3335 in your recent newsletter. The original car was fitted with an open 4 seater Vanden Plas body No. 1526. It was exhibited by Bentley Motors at the Olympia show in 1928. The car was re-bodied as a saloon in the 1950s. This 4.5 saloon was metamorphosed back to a short chassis Vanden Plas styled open 4 seater sold by Coys June 1991. In 1994 ( believe) it was sold and shipped to the USA where it was raced.
After the car was returned to England, I later purchased it in 2011. Chassis XR3335 was completely restored from the chassis up and the body further improved with Vanden Plas Le Mans styling.
Since then, I shipped the car to Long Beach, as part of the BDC USA Tour, 2013, travelling through Death Valley, Yellowstone National Park and on into Canada and Vancouver Island. A total of 3500 miles.
Thank you for an excellent Newsletter" |
