Founded in 1919, Coys of Kensington is the world renowned London based automotive auction house that sells everything from historic racing Alfa Romeos of the 1920s, to the more contemporary McClaren F1.
This week, a brilliant white on black 1934 Bentley 3 ½ liter by Oxborrow & Fuller is on offer. The two door coupé was the first Bentley to b
e produced under then new owner Rolls-Royce. Powered by a potent 3 ½ liter, 105 horsepower straight-six, the Bentley was a sporting version of the Rolls-Royce 20/25. According to Coys, this model was the first of the “Derby Bentleys” of the 1930s; a particularly handsome vintage for the marque.
The 3 ½ liter could attain a maximum speed of over 90 mph.
An elegant car, its dimensions are small when compared to the largesse of contemporary Bentleys.
Comme d’habitude, Coys has not listed the price of this particular Bentley, though, they have invited enquiries. I would hazard to guess that the bidding will start at £65,000 ($114,549).
