The rear fender suggests a R-type 1952+. |

The only thing that can be determined with certainty from the pictures is that it is either a Mk VI or an R-type. The coachwork is not a standard steel saloon, there was no standard drophead coupe, but this may be a conversion of a closed car to an open one, carried out later in the car's life. |

Try this 1955 Bentley R-type Park Ward Drophead Coupé [B310YD] TWH 134 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/imagetaker1/2825481609/ and probably Link to "www.simoncars.co.uk" , Link to "www.simoncars.co.uk" . But spare wheel mount is different. Seems PW did 25 R-type DHCs, so if it ain't this one it's a twin brother?? |

Park Ward made 41 R-type drophead coupes, B310YD being a one-off to design number 657, similar to design number 100 which was fitted to the MkVI. Coincidentally B310YD was supplied new to the father of an old friend of mine. Maybe the sidemount is a later modification, but the body design could still be on a Mk VI or an R-type chassis. Coachbuilt cars are not made from moulds, things happen, and there were more Mk VI cars than R-types. You are also going outwith the established convention of earliest first. I am not saying this car is not an R-type but it doesn't have any conclusive evidence either way. -- Last edit: 2014-10-17 12:49:11 |

Link to "www.classic-auctions.com" The car shown in this link is a Mark VI, not an R-type. -- Last edit: 2014-10-17 02:14:21 |
