<p>This unique Derby Bentley chassis number B46 FB started life as a 3&frac12; litre saloon with bodywork by Arthur Mulliner. It was converted in 1945 to a 3 position drophead by Richard Mead who was well known for the bodies he fitted and created for Alvis's of the period. One of our customers purchased the car in the mid 1990's when it was in need of a full body restoration. The body was stripped and dismantled and a new ash frame constructed. The body was completely repanelled and subtley modified to give a more pleasing frontal treatment as well as sculpted sills and front wings. The car was repainted in shell over tudor grey and the interior was retrimmed in red hide with red carpets. The hood was also retrimmed with red mohair hooding and a half woolcloth headlining. The interior and exterior brightwork was refurbished and the woodwork and instrumentation were refurbished. All mechanical and electrical aspects were attended to and the car performed and drove beautifully. Since the rebuild the car has been regularly serviced and maintained and has benefited from the upgrade of a Tim Payne overdrive. The car has been on numerous UK and continental rallies and although not an original drophead is arguably one of the most attractive full four seater convertibles available. The imminent arrival of another Bentley heralds the opportunity for someone else to have the pleasure of owning this fantastic vehicle.</p>
