1934 Bentley 3.5-Liter Drophead Coupe

The Derby-built Bentley 3.5-Litre was the first new Bentley to be built following the company's acquisition by Rolls-Royce in 1931. Based on the experimental Rolls-Royce named 'Peregrine,' the 3.5-liter engine was developed from the same unit fitted to the Rolls-Royce 20/25 although it was slightly more powerful. The new model was introduced to the public at Ascot race course in August 1933, and of the 1,177 3.5-liter cars built, nearly half were bodied by the London coachbuilder Park Ward. This unique Drophead Coupe was built for Miss Florence Pickles, and was the start of a love affair with Derby Bentleys that led to her ordering two more models, both with similar Park Ward coachwork. All of Miss Pickles' cars were originally painted in British Racing Green with green leather upholstery.
