1930 Bentley 4.5-liter

1930 Bentley 4.5-liter Saloon

  • Coachwork by Maythorne & Sons
  • Chassis Number: XF3520
  • This is the only surviving Bentley Sport Saloon with coachwork by Maythorn & Sons, and it is one of only six 4.5 Litre Sports Saloons in the world. Sadly, most of these closed saloon bodies were discarded to make way for Vanden Plas-style LeMans replicas, so it is a rare thing indeed to see an original Bentley like this one. It still has all of its original exterior fabric and a substantial majority of its original interior. The car was purchased by its current owner in 2012 from its previous owner, Mrs. Linda Saunders, whose late husband kept the car in his vintage Bentley collection for over a quarter of a century. This rare Bentley has been refreshed recently by vintage Bentley specialist Graham Moss, with the utmost concern for its preservation.
