"When repairing rotted work around the door and underneath the coach we noticed the VDP coach number is 1515. We salvaged some of the rotted wood and it shows that it was painted blue. VDP number is said to have a 2/3 sports body which mine is.

"Atcherley’s sliding door rebody of 1929 Bentley 4½ Litre HB3420. This car had been rebodied by Connaught in January 1931 as an allweather, probably their "Moorland" type with full-height doors and rigid upper body frame (not unlike the Salmons "Tickford" type). It is possible Atcherley modified that body to suit his needs in the late 1930s."
