1928 Bentley 4½ Litre 4-seater
Chassis No. TX3239
Engine No. TX3241
Registration No. YW 6279
"The car I bought in 2010 and was fully restored in Argentina. All the beauty, body and paint was done by Jorge Sica. The engine was made by Jorge Anadón, who owns Pursang. And the tapestry was made by Andreozzi. For me, the three best craftsmen out there at the moment in the country. The missing parts (headlights, instruments, etc) got them on various trips to England.
Currently the car is finished and on October 11 leaves for a trip of 6000km from Buenos Aires with arrival at Machu Pichu (Peru) along with 7 other Bentleys, the 9's in the country. I´ll send pictures at the end of the trip."

A rare, 'Derby Bentley,' this lovely Cabriolet is one of 200 and has a coach-built body by the well-respected, Carlton company. For thiry years prior to the Silverstone's purchase, the President of the Rolls-Royce Club of America owned the car.
An example of the 1928 Bentley 4.5-liter Vanden Plas style LeMans Tourer. More than 20% of the Bentleys produced were fitted with Vanden Plas bodies. It was restored to perfection in England both mechanically and cosmetically.
The car is powered by a water-cooled, single-overhead cam, four-cylinder engine with four-valves per cylinder, producing 110-horsepower, coupled to a four-speed gearbox, with overdrive, that propels it to a top speed of 94 mph. Items to note on this example include motorcycle fenders, large LeMans petrol tank, fold down windscreen, and racing instruments.
Bentley 4 1/2 liter
The Bentley 4 1/2 liter came into existence to fill a void left by the 3-liter and the 6.5-liter variants. The 3-liter suffered from underperformance while the 6.5-liter was unsafe for the roads. The 6.5-liter was powerful, and with poor road-conditions often caused tires to fail quickly. The solution was the Bentley 4.5-liter; a vehicle that had enough power to carry the vehicle down the road at a good pace. The chassis consists of channel-steel, front and rear suspension by semi-elliptic leaf springs, and 4-wheel drum brakes.
Production amounted to a total of 733 cars of all body styles. Fifty-four cars were equipped with the famous supercharged engine, 'Blower Bentleys,' built by the race driver Sir Henry 'Tim' Birkin as a private venture - against W.O. Bentley's wishes.
