"Mechanical restoration of a 7,000 mile original VDP (1378) by Don Hurter and John Hunt. Original owner W M Booth was an Engineer working on a Hydro project in Japan in the late 1920s. Car delivered Japan Sept 1927 and did minimal mileage there. Prior to the outbreak of WW II Booth relocated to South America and shipped car there. After retiring from work in the 1950s he drove the car from South America to Canada. Don Hurter, another engineer, met him at a conference, convinced him to sell the car and drove it from Canada to Boston where he laid it up in his workshop. Upon retiring in the late 1980s Don removed the body, restored it mechanically with the help of the late John Hunt and Brian Fenn and showed it to many BDC members at multiple seminars given in the 1990s in his workshop. He did get the chassis running but never put back the body before losing interest. ML 1502 still has less than 8,000 original miles and the body is all original and unmolested right down to the original hood canvas. Probably the lowest mileage Vintage Bentley extant." — Paul Sydlowski, Feb 12, 2013
