Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1935 Bentley 3½-Litre Drophead Coupe by Park Ward boasts beautiful, original coachwork and a rich history, including ownership by notable enthusiasts. Restored in 1995 and mechanically freshened recently, this car presents handsomely, though the engine number deviates from the original build records.
