In 1931, Bentley production moved to the Rolls-Royce factory at Derby, England, following the acquisition of Bentley by Rolls-Royce. The cars which followed were known as 'Derby Bentleys' as opposed to the earlier cars which came from the original Bentley works in Cricklewood, London. The first Derby was launched in 1933. In the mid thirties the Mark IV with a 4.25 liter six cylinder engine was produced.

The 4.25 liter cars were very popular in their era, selling some 400 models per year, and this model is one of 13 drophead coupes built by coachbuilder James Young.

The current owners, Robert and Ann Franz, have recorded more than 40,000 miles of its total 160,000 miles, and the car has never been restored.
