1936 | Bentley 4 1/4 Litre

1936 Derby Bentley 4.25 Boat Tail Special.

Chassis number: B79GP

Registration: YSV494

Built at vast expense as the ultimate rally car; once completed this car quickly proved its ability by completing the Peking Paris rally coming in amongst the top finishers.  The car comes with massive bills from both noted Builder Bob Petersen & also Fiennes Engineering who built the engine up.  The car has also ben a regular & successful contender in the flying scotsman rally having completed it on a number of occasions.

The engine is a real work of art running on triple carbs as opposed to the more usual twin carb set up & is putting out serious horsepower far above that ever envisaged by the factory.  This makes it a very very fast car by pre war standards.

The aluminium body takes the form of a boat tail two seat tourer with very sporting & rakish lines.  A hood stores under the rear hatch & easily unfolds for inclement weather.  Aluminium cycle style wings are fitted to the four corners.  Twin driving lamps augment the headlamps for night time illumination.  These are powered by a modern alternator.  A custom stainless steel exhaust system is installed engine in a fish tail rear.

This is a fast capable car well known in Bentley circles & built to be the ultimate pre war competition rally car.  The usual rally accessories are fitted to the cockpit including a trip meter.  A tonneau cover secures the cockpit when the car is feft unattended.  A thick sheaf of massive bills comes with the car detailing the large amounts of money spent to create this wonderful car.
