This 1938 Bentley 4¼ Litre is a four-door saloon featuring alloy “razor-edge” bodywork by the coachbuilder Gurney Nutting. The car is finished in white and features a fixed roof with a sliding panel, rear-hinged doors, a tilt-out windshield, Lucas P100 headlights, and a central Marchal fog lamp. It rides on silver-painted wire wheels fitted with 7.00-18 Lester whitewall tires. The suspension consists of semi-elliptical leaf springs and driver-adjustable hydraulic shock absorbers. Braking is provided by servo-assisted mechanical drums at all four corners.
The right-hand-drive cabin is trimmed in gray Connolly leather with tan Wilton wool carpeting and refinished wood on the doors and dashboard. Equipment includes a heater, a fold-down rear armrest, and recessed rear cabin lighting. The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a 110-mph speedometer, a 5,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for amperage, fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure.
The 4,257cc OHV inline-six engine was rebuilt approximately five years ago and features twin SU carburetors. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh on the top three gears.
