Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1936 Bentley 3 1/2 Litre Park Ward is a well-maintained classic with a recent respray and engine rebuild. It features a tan interior and right-hand drive. While it presents well overall, the car requires re-importing to the UK and has some minor cosmetic issues, such as pitting on the windscreen surround and bubbling in the roof gutter.
Condition
7
This 1936 Bentley 3 1/2 Litre Park Ward is in very good condition. The bodywork is straight, with good panel gaps and shut-lines. The paintwork is in very good condition, thanks to restoration work done 20 years ago. The interior is well-preserved, with brown leather upholstery, carpets, and wood. Mechanically, the car drives well, with a rebuilt engine. The car has been kept in a heated garage and has passed the Danish equivalent of an MoT with no advisories.

Description
This magnificent Derby-build Bentley comes with Park Ward ‘C1023’ coachwork and presents extremely well all-round.
We believe this is a matching numbers car and one that was delivered new on 2.7.1936 to a Capt.
R.B.
Brassey - variously a Conservative MP, owner of Cottesbrooke Hall, owner of Gilltown Stud in Ireland (later bought by the Aga Khan III) and one-time Master of the Heythrop Hounds.
The vendor’s father bought the car in Croydon in 1981, at which time he and his family were just the third owners and the UK registration was NV 7506.
In the early 1990s the car was given a restoration by Wildae Restorations Ltd of Devon and then went to live in Denmark, which is where the vendor’s family is from.
The car returned to Wildae in the early 2000s for more restoration work, this time focusing on the engine, mechanicals and paintwork.
The engine was completely stripped and rebuilt, and the car was given a full respray in the sumptuous shade of black you see today.
