While the car appears to be in good condition overall, there are noted imperfections in the paint and some wear consistent with its age. The interior presents well, and mechanical aspects seem sound, but the cosmetic flaws prevent it from being rated higher.

Description
TMU 4,257cc Inline-Six Twin SU Carburetors Four-Speed Manual Transmission Dark Blue Paint Tan Leather Upholstery 18" Body-Color Wires Wheels Servo-Assisted Drum Brakes Hydraulic Shock Absorbers Copies of Factory Build & Test Sheets This 1938 Bentley 4¼ Litre was delivered as a rolling chassis to Park Ward & Company in fall 1937 for the installation of four-door saloon coachwork before distribution via Jack Barclay Ltd. in London in early 1938.
Chassis B201KU was first owned by a yarn-mill heir in Dewsbury, England, before being sold to a third-generation wool manufacturer in 1939 and remained in England under subsequent ownership until the late 1960s.
The car was purchased in 1969 by a Belgian couple who retained it for over five decades before it was sold to its previous owner in 2023 and imported to the US.
Finished in dark blue, the car is powered by a 4,257cc inline-six that features twin SU carburetors and is mated to a four-speed manual transmission.
