Model History
Total production of all Bentley 3 1/2 Litre cars was 1,191 units from 1933-1939. The 3 1/2 Litre has a 6 cylinder ohv engine with two carburetors, a four speed gearbox and servo assisted mechanical brakes. The 1935 3 1/2 Litre Bentley had quite remarkable performance for its year with a top speed of 95 mph with Park Ward Sport Saloon body. This particular vehicle being listed had a well known first owner, P.M. Stewart of the London Brick Company, the largest brick manufacturer in the world (it's said 25% of the homes in Britain were constructed of London Brick). A couple of years after purchasing this car P.M. Stewart became Sir P.M. Stewart a first baronet.
