Coachwork on Vintage Bentleys: 3 Litre, 4.5 Litre, 6.5 Litre, Speed Six and 8 Litre, 1921-31 Book

All car enthusiasts know, or think they know, what a vintage Bentley should look like. It should have a four-seater tourer body and should be painted British Racing Green. But Bentleys werent always like that. When these cars were new, other types of bodies by many different coachbuilders saloons, limousines, fixed-head coupes, landaulets, cabriolets, drophead coupes, sedancas de ville outnumbered the tourers and sports models. Sadly, these were the bodies which were the first to be scrapped, even though their chassis were often saved. This book uses over 200 contemporary black-and-white illustrations and some 50 specially-shot color photographs to tell the story of Bentley coachwork during the 1920s through 1931, when the company went into receivership. Each of the three classes of coachwork saloons and limousines, drophead coupes, and tourers is traced as it evolved through that exciting decade.
