Vintage and Prestige Fine Motor Cars are proud to be offering this 1934 Derby Bentley3 1/2 Liter Hooper Drop Head Coupe for sale. This car was under one family's ownership for 5 decades. The Bentley Derby 3 1/2 Liter Hooper Drop Head Coupe was supplied new, to a lady living in Eaton Square. The Bentley then followed her out to Wales when she moved out of the area.
Coachwork is a drop head coupe by Hooper. By the 1990's the paint was getting shabby so a full re-spray was undertaken. At the same time, new green hide was installed to replace the cracked original hides. As such, it has had time to build up a pleasant patina rather than presenting as brand new.
The engine has had a full recent engine rebuild. New fuel pumps have just been fitted as the diaphragms on the originals had hardened and become unserviceable.
Recently the moths had sadly degraded the hood lining so a new black hood and lining was fitted. Indeed, any jobs needing done to the Bentley have always been done to keep the Bentley in fine running order. The car indeed runs beautifully and has the feeling of being a low mileage chassis giving credence to the 90,000 odd miles indicated. Since the 1960's the Bentley Derby 3 1/2 Liter Hooper Drop Head Coupe has covered sparse miles each year whilst being well maintained.

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.
