Description

Based on the chassis number B270MD, Bentley created the vehicle on behalf of Mr. Needler (GB). A subcontract was awarded to James Young Coachbuilder. Mr. Needler obviously had a hard time choosing the color for his vehicle. The order was changed or canceled and recreated several times. In December 1952 the car finally rolled into Mr. Needler's garage.

Next the vehicle belonged to Mr. Bush, also from England.

Then the car changed continents. 1991 there is correspondence from Mr. and Mrs. Douglas (New York)

From 1998 to 2007 the car was in the hands of Mr. Seiten (Michigan) --> vehicle registration document is available.

In 2007 the car was brought to Germany and completely restored.

Odometer reading 98867 miles.

Body stripped and repainted in two colors, new tank made, interior completely rebuilt.

Inside, the limousine has light leather combined with the finest wood decor. Fold-out picnic tables are integrated into the backrest of the front seats.

Technically, the car still has the original engine in combination with the four-speed manual transmission.

Registration in Germany July 2013. The vehicle has been parked in an underground car park in Stuttgart designed for classic cars and has hardly been moved.
