Bentley\u2019s Final Masterpiece Offered at Simeone Auction"},"content":{"rendered":"\r\n

W.O. Bentley\u2019s final creation, a 1930 Bentley 8-Liter Tourer, and one of only\u00a0100 examples that were built, will be offered at Bonhams Collectors\u2019 Motor Cars and Automobilia Auction at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum<\/a> in Philadelphia on Sunday, October 11th.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The 8-Liter\u00a0Tourer was considered to be W.O. Bentley\u2019s<\/a> masterpiece. At the time, the 8-Liter had the largest engine in Great Britain, and was advertised as capable of exceeding the magical \u2018ton\u2019 or 100mph \u201cwithout noise.\u201d\u00a0 The super-luxury tourer was considered to be Rolls Royce Phantom II\u2019s<\/a> direct competitor.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Unfortunately, the life of the 8-Liter was brought to a halt due to the worldwide depression sparked by the Wall Street Crash that contributed to bankrupting Bentley and its forced sale to Rolls-Royce.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This specific example was the 13th<\/sup>\u00a0of 100\u00a0made\u00a0and it was an early works demonstrator in Europe. It was delivered new to the\u00a0Soci\u00e9te\u00a0 Europ\u00e9ene\u00a0 Bentley Automobiles SA near Paris, and renowned French coachbuilding Jacques Saoutchik fitted it with a fashionable close-coupled sports saloon body before it was shown at numerous Concours\u00a0d\u2019\u00c9l\u00e9gances\u00a0around France.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a0After the Bentley company was sold, it was known London Bentley dealer, Jack Barclay, who bought the demonstrator. It was eventually acquired by Sir John Jarvis, a distinguished British politician. Under his watch, he had the prestigious coachbuilder,\u00a0Hooper,\u00a0fit the 8-Liter with a new Haute Couture All-weather Tourer body.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the 1950s the 8-Liter made its way to North America where it was acquired by a known Bentley collector in St. Louis, Missouri, Norris Allen. After the acquisition, he decided to restore it in a more sporting configuration with an open, four-seater Tourer body by Swallow Coachbuilding in Coventry, England, its third and definitive incarnation.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Having recently been well-maintained in the climate-controlled collection of a notable East Coast collector,\u00a0this charming Bentley is again ready to appear at Concours d\u2019\u00c9l\u00e9gances around the world. The 1930 Bentley 8-Liter Tourer is estimated at $775,000 \u2013 875,000.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n

The 8-Liter Bentley will be joining other impressive pre-war rarities at Simeone, which include\u00a0the following:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1927 Cadillac 341 -A V-8 Tourer, Coachwork by Fisher\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This distinguished Cadillac<\/a> touring car, valued at $150,000-200,000, is unique as it is one of the seven Cadillacs that were ordered by the Glacier Transport Company to be used in the Glacier National Park in Montana to transport VIP guests. It is built on a semi-commercial chassis with a 150-inch wheelbase and painted a distinctive orange-red to really stand out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It is believed to be one of the cars that were used to ferry President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his entourage during his historic trip through the park and its surrounding areas in 1935.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n

1935 Mercedes-Benz 290 Cabriolet A, Coachwork by Sindelfingen\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This elegant two-seater Cabriolet A\u00a0is a rare example of one of the most\u00a0sought-after\u00a0versions\u00a0of the 290\u00a0with coachwork by Mercedes-Bens\u2019 in-house coachbuilder,\u00a0Sindelfingen. Coming from the Petersen Automotive Museum<\/a> Vault Collection, this 290 Cabriolet A is offered in its \u2018barn-find\u2019 condition. With its\u00a0old red interior and classic white-faced VDO gauges that adorn the dashboard, the 290 represents a rewarding restoration project for any pre-war motor car collector.It is valued at $175,000-225,000.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1934 Lagonda M45 T8 Tourer\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This elegant motor car has been in the ownership of only one US-based family since 1967. It is also only one of the 10 known survivors of the classic pre-war British 4 1\/2-Liter Grand Tourer, and is valued at $100,000-150,000.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
