Bentley 3 Litre 1/2 Litre 1934
General description :
It took 3 years after the acquisition of Bentley by Rolls-Royce for a new model to hit the market: the Bentley 3.5 Litre. It had some similarities with the Rolls-Royce 20/25 but was focused on less weight and a sporty flair and was called the “silent sports car”. It was no longer the loud “monster”, but the comfortable, sporty car for the gentleman. The new model was called “Derby Bentley” after its production site.Our Bentley 3.5 liter was built at the end of 1934. The alteration into a drophead coupe was done by the expert firm Vincent of Reading. The proud first owner, Mr. McDonald registered the car in 1936. This sporty oldtimer is now registered in Germany. Its elegant lines, authentic character and reliable technology make this Bentley stand out!

About Bentley
Before becoming a mere subsidiary to Rolls-Royce, Bentley was an independent Automaker famous for the "fastest lorries in the world" e.i Bentley 4½ Litre.Good ol' Bentley boys (A group of wealthy British motorists, mainly Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry "Tim" Birkin, steeplechaser George Duller, aviator Glen Kidston, S.C.H. "Sammy" Davis, and Dr Dudley Benjafield ) -in their trusty Bentley cars- took four consecutive victories at 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930
In 1931 Bentley was taken over British Central Equitable Trust that later proved to be a front for Rolls-Royce Limited. Unhappy with his role at Rolls-Royce, W.O. Bentley left the company when his contract expired in 1935 duly joining Lagonda. This was beginning of which ultimately led Bentley cars to become more or less badge-engineered Rolls-Royce.
