Classic Sports Car

Bentley Boys land in the Mews

-

For some, originalit­y is key to the appeal of a classic. If you happen to be a fan of vintage Bentleys and fall into that camp, you’ll be painfully aware of how many of these magnificen­t vehicles have been reconfigur­ed since they left Cricklewoo­d, which makes Fiskens’ latest offerings all the more exciting.

First up is a matching-numbers 1929 41/2 Litre with Weymann body by Maythorn & Sons. One of just eight 41/2 Litres known to survive with saloon coachwork, this fine machine is original right down to its exterior fabric.

The 1930 41/2 Litre is another matching-numbers car, although this time with Vanden Plas tourer body. Remarkably, it too retains its original fabric and boasts a beautifull­y mellowed cockpit. See www.fiskens.com
