barn find Bentley brings a million at auction





Owned by the same family since 1935, and recently unearthed after 30 years, was recently found by the seller in his grandfather's garage.

The consignor’s grandfather bought the Mulliner-bodied car in 1935 and is known to have used it for family holidays throughout the 1930s and 1940s. The car even was used to tow a caravan (camper), and was still fitted with its original tow ball at the auction.

The chassis, engine, axle, gearbox, steering box numbers are all present and correct, the interior is completely original in wonderful green leather.
