4 ½ Litre Vanden Plas Tourer

Chassis AD3652 was delivered 90 years ago from Mayfair by Jack Olring & Co to a Mr Grout. A sports four seater with fully valanced wings in green. This heavy chassis 4 ½ model was built to the latest specification including self-wrapping brakes, electron engine etc. and was unusually delivered with an aluminium sump and long bonnet. Dr William Leslie bought AD3652 from Bentley Motors before passing to his son in 1975. Today AD3652 stands in extremely original condition. She has never been rebuilt, only ever worked on when needed. Recently a careful preservation has just been completed saving most of the interior leather trim and external body covering. The car has been returned to its original green and sympathetically mechanically checked and adjusted. She runs well and is in very practical usable condition with an incredible ownership history. AD3652 is the only known vintage Bentley to be in family ownership for 85 years having been purchased from the works, and is one of the most original still in existence with less than 100, 000 miles from new and a benchmark of period finishes.
