3 Litre Chassis 859 in the family since 1984
Contributed by Brad Lonson (Owner)
My family is the current owner of this gorgeous car. My grandfather, George Ray Lyon bought this car (I believe around 1984) for my Grandma, Hazel Bilton Lyon, who was born in 1925. When my grandfather died in 1986 we had his three cars put in the Balboa Museum in San Diego where they stayed until 2014 when we brought them to our house in Santa Barbara. We celebrated my grandma's 88th birthday that year with the cars and we were able to give her one last ride in the Bentley before she passed that year in September.
The car is currently at our farm in Santa Barbara. If anyone has any additional information on the car or if anyone would like to see the car, please contact me. Happy to report that the car is still in great running condition and we'll be driving her to the Montecito Classic on September 22nd 2019.
