The car's body was constructed after a design by Barnato with light wooden framing, heavily padded and covered with leatherette. Barnato was a wealthy sportsman, financier and playboy who loved fast sports cars, especially Bentleys. His wealth derived from South African diamond mines. He invested so much in Bentley that he wound up as chairman. All 1925-48 Bentleys are classics, says the Classic Car Club."
