This Bentley was ordered on June 15th of 1939 by the company's Parisian agency, Franco-Britannic Automobiles. It was intended to receive two-door coupe coachwork by Carrosserie Binder for exhibition on Binder's stand at the Paris Salon in October 1939, then for delivery to the Princess Kamal el Dine (1881-1966), Boulevard Richard Wallace, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. After World War II intervened, Binder did not complete the car and the Princess never took delivery.
The chassis was then sold on March 20th of 1940 to M. Barrelon, president of Forge de la Boissière. It later received two-door three-position drophead Saoutchik coachwork which it currently wears today. It is not known if Saoutchik completed the coachwork started by Binder, or if it is a unique Saoutchik creation.
