I saw a 1949 Mulliner bodied Bentley in a book and determined to find one. It took a three and a half year search to finally track one down. This rare and beautiful car was languishing in a barn in Sussex. After parting with a not inconsiderable sum of money we brought her home and set about the restoration.
She was media blasted back to bare aluminium and her bodywork repaired ready for painting in a very understated Tudor-over-Shell colour scheme. We rescued the original leatherwork but had to replace the headlining and the carpets - both with the best we could find.
The woodwork was restored to its original hand rubbed linseed oil finish.
