Price: £175000
A BENTLEY COLLECTORS DREAM.
BODY: FREESTONE AND WEBB TOURER
THIS ORIGINAL CAR WAS SOLD NEW AS
A COLONIAL TOURER (JUST LOOK AT THE
SIZE OF THE WHEELS) SO NO PROBLEM
IN COVERING ROUGH GROUND IN AFRICA.
ORIGINAL AND RESTORED. EXCELLENT CONDITION.
RUNS WELL. ONLY 3 REGISTERED OWNERS
(4 OWNERS IN TOTAL)
PURCHASED IN JULY 1926 BY J.F. BAILES
OF DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA. UK REGISTRATION

SHIPPED TO SOUTH AFRICA IN 1932
IN MARCH 1976 THE CAR WAS SOLD AS
A NON-RUNNER BY MRS BAILES (DAUGHTER
OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER) TO W.S. VAN
NIEKERK OF UTRECHT, NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA.
MR. VAN NIEKERK WAS THE OWNER OF THE
CENTRAL GARAGE IN UTRECHT AND HE REBUILT
THE CAR OVER A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS.
ITS NEW REGISTRATION NUMBER WAS NUT
26.
IN 2002 THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AS A
NON-RUNNER FROM THE ESTATE OF W.S.
VAN NIEKERK BY CASPER SCHARIKHUIZEN
(BUT WAS NOT REGISTERED BY HIM). THE
CAR WAS HELD IN STORAGE, WITH A NUMBER
OF OTHER COLLECTOR’S CARS, UNTIL
2008.
CASPER SCHARIKHUIZEN IS FROM HOLLAND
AND IS A VERY SUCCESSFUL AND WEALTHY
HAULAGE CONTRACTOR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
HE IS NOW SEMI RETIRED AND HIS HOBBY
IS THE COLLECTION AND RESTORATION
OF CLASSIC CARS, PARTICULARLY ROLLS
ROYCE AND BENTLEY. HE HAS A FANTASTIC
COLLECTION.
IN JULY 2008 THE CAR WAS PURCHASED
BY THE LATEST OWNER, TIM WADESON.
THE CAR WAS A NON-RUNNER AND WAS BOUGHT
ON CONDITION THAT IT WOULD BE RESTORED.
IT WAS COMPLETED IN SEPTEMBER 2010
AND WAS SHIPPED TO THE ISLE OF MAN
WHERE IT IS NOW REGISTERED. REGISTERED
NO. KMN 420H. THIS WAS A PERSONAL
IMPORT BY ITS LAST OWNER AND WE WILL
BE ABLE TO GET ITS ORIGINAL UK REGISTRATION
NUMBER BACK FOR THE NEW OWNER. (YP
5967)
FOR THOSE ANORAKS THIS IS A MATCHING
NUMBERED CAR BUT WE AREN’T CHARGING
FOR THIS."
