Chassis No BC51AR is one of just 71 examples built to design number 7514 in right hand drive by H.J.

Mulliner.

The coachwork was constructed entirely of aluminium at their west London works, completed to order for each individual customer in the bespoke fashion that Bentley owners were accustomed to.

The car was originally completed in April of 1960, finished in velvet green with beige leather as it still is today.

It was supplied by Jack Barclay Ltd to its first owner, Mr Ivan Couper Sanderson of west London.

Chassis No BC51AR was first acquired by Frank Dale & Stepsons approxim...
