Beautiful Old Cars of London. 1933 Derby Bentley 3 1/2 Litre Park Ward Sports Saloon EZ1221

London Classic Cars. 1933 Derby Bentley 3 1/2 Litre Park Ward Sports Saloon EZ1221.
Seen parked in Brick Lane


I found some notes about this car on the web page of a dealer who sold it recently:

"the car is about as original as it can be.  It has very old paint in its original black colour.  To the interior is in heavily worn but still very serviceable brown leather with original brown carpets.  The dash board is exactly as it left the factory with all instruments.  The large sunroof van be opened easily allowing for semi alfresco motoring."


At 3000 rpm it is doing 60 MPH effortlessly.  It is far faster then many 4.25 litre Derbies wearing heavier coachwork that we have sold.
