A unique design by Hooper Equally attractive in each of the three hood positions Formerly owned by Victor Barclay, Executive Chairman of Jack Barclay Ltd Upgraded rear axle fitted for higher cruising speeds Multiple concours prize winner Engine overhauled by respected Bentley specialist in 2017 Chassis No B94JD was originally completed in April of 1937, bodied by Hooper to Design No 6871 which we believe to be unique. The stylish three position drophead coupe was delivered new to Mr Henry Vom Berge, an American understood to have been living in London, however the car was invoiced to his address in Paris France. It is understood that the car returned to London in 1939 when it was purchased by Mr Acland Geddes and then in the post war years it was owned by Mr R.E Rhodes of Shrewsbury from July 1946 and then by Mr George Tetlow of Leeds from February 1953. At some point following this, we believe Chassis No B94JD was bought and exported to the US, prior to its return to the UK in the early 1990’s when it was acquired by Victor Barclay, the Executive Chairman of Jack Barclay Ltd and son of the founder of the company in Berkeley Square in the heart of London. The car was bought by the present owner in 1997 and has been improved further during his time. In 2003 the back axle was upgraded to allow higher cruising speeds in top gear, which was helpful on the BDC tour of South Africa that the car took part in that same year. In 2008 the coachwork was improved and most recently, in 2016/17 the engine was overhauled. All improvements were carried out by respected Bentley specialists with expenditure totalling around £100,000 for these works. Also, during this latest period of ownership, Chassis No B94JD has been shown at various concours events, winning seven different awards at RREC and BDC concours events between 2004 and 2009. This extremely attractive and well sorted Derby Bentley comes with an extensive history file, original handbook and is ready for the next chapter in its life.
