A 1939 Bentley 4-1/4 litre drophead by Vanvooren. A very late "MR" series car with overdrive. This is what I consider the bet looking post-war drophead Bentley. My appreciation was confirmed when it sold for $485,000 at Christies Paris.

Standing next to Charles Howard's Rolls-Royce Phantom I, body by Clarks of Wolverhampton (the ex-Stanley Sears car). This is probably the most elaborate Rolls-Royce ever built. It sold in 1988 to a Japanese collector for $10 million.

Exquisite interior of the Phantom I owned by Charles Howard.
