You mention on your site that my car has had the Park Ward body changed to that of a VDP. This is incorrect. The body has not been changed, it still has the original Park Ward 4 seater short sports number 2519. From Park Ward and Bentley Motors records it appears that only two 4 seater short sports were built on ch. 707 and 692. Two Variants of this type a 4 seater barrel type sports and a 4 seater semi sports were fitted to ch. 658 and 720 respectively. 4 seater standard tourer bodies were produced in volume."
