Description
BENTLEY 4 ¼ LITRES – YEAR 1937 – 24 CV – 5-seater – Es – 57,812 km
By the late 1930s, Bentley had built up a solid reputation, largely thanks to its successes in major motor racing events, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 1920s. The British marque was therefore seeking to meet the expectations of a clientele seeking greater comfort without compromising on the performance and sporting character for which it was renowned.
This vehicle, nicknamed the ‘Silent Sports Car’, embodies this philosophy thanks to an engine renowned for its smoothness, torque and reliability. This example features a ‘Sport Saloon’ body style, characteristic of British sports saloons of the era. Franck Tale plates are visible, suggesting it has passed through the hands of this British classic car specialist. The bodywork stands out for its elegant combination of English green and black, complemented by spoked wheels. The interior is particularly well-preserved, with brown leather upholstery and a burl walnut dashboard.
Mechanically, the car is roadworthy but requires servicing by a classic car specialist.
A rarity on the French market, this pre-war Bentley combines performance, comfort and elegance. Less imposing and status-driven than some of its contemporary Rolls-Royces, it embodies a sportier vision of the British luxury car. The documentation file, which includes the vehicle’s registration documents as well as the engine, chassis and serial numbers, is consistent with its year of manufacture.
Maintenance records, including invoices, are available for inspection.
Sold as seen.
