Bentley 4½ Litre
Ordered through Jack Barclays by first owner John Mavrogordato, chassis HF 3195 passed its final factory test on 14th March 1928. Originally supplied with a long bonnet and staggered screen, Bentley records show that the radiator was chromed and Lucas P100 headlights fitted in late 1929. Largely unchanged since its return to the factory in 1929, this 4½ Litre Bentley has a well documented and continuous history from new.
