Bentley 4½-Litre Weymann Saloon - 1929 by Perico001 Coachwork by Maythorn & Sons
Chassis n° XF3520

Coachbuilder Maythorn & Sons opted for discretion and created excellent proportions and volumes, rather different to what was going on across the Channel. This saloon used the French Weymann method, which reduced weight, while the impression of power was enhanced by the high bonnet.

Thrilled by the success of its 1927/28 Riviera trials car, Rolls-Royce produced two further cars to identical specifications, down to its colour scheme of cream bodywork with polished aluminium bonnet, scuttle and wings and upholstery, which was in apple green leather. This car, the third, chassis no. 82OR, was retained by the factory until October 1930. The Rolls-Royce then led quite an adventurous existence, appearing in 1956 in Mombasa, Kenya. Reportedly, whilst in Mombasa, it was used to chauffeur Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh during a visit to the city.

The Rolls eventually passed to William Proctor, who sold the car in 1964 to Jack Porter, an American who would maintain it for 32 years. In 1997, the Rolls was acquired by enthusiasts from London. It changed hands again two years later and, after researching its history, decided to have the car painstakingly restored once more in the original colours. The result of the restoration is still spectacular today, just as it was when it earned the Lucius Beebe Trophy at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 1999.

To find a pre-war Rolls-Royce that was specially built by the factory, for the factory, to show off the best of its efforts, is a remarkable opportunity. https://flic.kr/p/24EQTZk

Bentley Speed Six Weymann Saloon - 1929 by Perico001 Coachwork by Gurney Nutting
Chassis n° NH2741

Certainly the last of the Speed Sixes with Weymann coachwork. In addition to its lightness, these bodies had the advantage of being able to flex in silence with the inevitable torsions of the chassis side-members without tearing, something rigid coachwork could not emulate.
