These photographs
(of the stunningly beautiful 3 liter
Park Ward Landaulette) were taken
in the UK while it was enjoying a
very sympathetic refurbishment to
period condition by the Pearces at
the Butts Works in Wisborough Green
in West Sussex.
The result is what a sympathetic period
restoration can yield if an owner
resists a "complete rotisserie"
job. A great deal of thought and effort
went into the scope and nature of
the job and the results speak for
themselves. It is surely one of the
very few formal bodies remaining on
a 3 liter chassis that is original
to the car and is in superb mechanical
and cosmetic condition. It is a true
visual feast!
Chassis No. 478 now lives in the USA
and is owned by a BDC and RROC member.

Car Store in "Thoroughbred &
Classic Cars" magazine, October
1980.
Text in advt reads: This magnificent
1925 litre Bentley is just one of
our 70 cars here in stock. It is surely
one of the most charming and lovely
original Bentleys in the world, almost
certainly unique. The Park Ward landaulette
coachwork is so beautifully constructed
only a little finger is needed to
raise or lower the hood, it is so
well counter-balanced with springs.
The whole car was restored some years
ago by a fastidious owner who has
rallied it extensively since, while
mantaining it constantly to the same
high standards. The perfect compliment
to a collection of racers.
