Bentley et Vanvooren, la noblesse britannique et une certaine idée du luxe à la française, peut-être le meilleur des deux mondes.~

Bentley and Vanvooren, aristocratic elegance and a certain idea of French luxury, perhaps the best of both worlds.~

  • Dans les années 1920, Bentley étend sa notoriété et assoit sa réputation en remportant l'une des courses automobiles les plus en vues, et les plus exigeantes du moment : les fameuses 24 Heures du Mans. La firme britannique ne totalise pas moins de cinq victoires entre 1924 et 1930 (dont quatre consécutives entre 1927 et 1930). Malgré ces succès, Walter-Owen Bentley se trouve en grande difficulté financière, et se trouve contraint de céder l'entreprise qui porte son nom à son rival de toujours, Rolls-Royce.~
  • Si les nouvelles Bentley made in Derby (l'usine Rolls-Royce où leur production a été délocalisée) conservent un brin de sportivité, elles sont désormais conçues pour être élégantes et confortables. Ce sont en quelques sortes des Rolls-Royce bis. La « nouvelle » 3 ½ Litre sera ainsi produite jusqu'en 1936, avant d'être remplacée par la fameuses 4 ¼ Litre, capable de rouler à plus de 150 km/h en plein confort. La Bentley Derby 4 ¼ Litre sera produite à 1 234 exemplaires entre 1936 et 1939, remplacée en 1940 par la Mk V.~
  • Après avoir acheté un châssis, le client faisait carrosser la voiture au sein de l'atelier de son choix parmi la myriade de spécialistes sur le marché. #B244GA, fut ainsi carrossée par Vanvooren au cours de 1936 à la demande de Jean-Paul Boucheron, propriétaire de la plus grande maison d'édition musicale de Paris, secrétaire parlementaire, champion de golf et fils de l'une des familles les plus riches de France. Il possédait une importante collection de voitures de luxe, principalement des Bugatti, Bentley et Hispano-Suiza. Il mourut en 1944, âgé de seulement 29 ans.~
  • Son père conserva la voiture jusqu'à son propre décès en 1952, année où elle fut acquise par un ami de la famille, un médecin anglais qui la rapatria de l'autre côté de la Manche. Elle resta garée dans sa maison remplie d'antiquités, à l'arrêt, jusqu'en 2001, année où elle fut acquise par un amateur de Bentley du nom de Graham Firth, qui ne fit que refaire faire la sellerie en 2015, un an avant que le propriétaire actuel ne s'en porte acquéreur.~
  • Véritable time capsule, cette rarissime Bentley Vanvooren (seule survivante dans cette configuration sur les 68 Bentley carrossées par Vanvooren) attend une restauration mécanique complète et des soins de carrosserie avant de retrouver son éclat et de prendre la route des plus beaux événements du genre, en offrant confort, luxe et performance à ses occupants.~
  • In the 1920s, Bentley expanded its reputation and cemented its status by winning one of the most prestigious and demanding motor races of the time: the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans. The British firm racked up no fewer than five victories between 1924 and 1930 (including four consecutive wins between 1927 and 1930). Despite these successes, Walter Owen Bentley found himself in serious financial difficulty and was forced to sell the company that bore his name to his long-time rival, Rolls-Royce.~
  • Although the new Bentleys made in Derby (the Rolls-Royce factory where their production was relocated) retained a touch of sportiness, they were now designed to be elegant and comfortable. They were, in a way, Rolls-Royce bis. The 'new' 3½ Litre was produced until 1936, before being replaced by the famous 4¼ Litre, capable of travelling at over 150 km/h in complete comfort. A total of 1,234 Bentley Derby 4¼ Litre cars were produced between 1936 and 1939, replaced in 1940 by the Mk V.~
  • After purchasing a chassis, the customer had the car bodywork done at the workshop of their choice from among the myriad specialists on the market. #B244GA was thus bodied by Vanvooren in 1936 at the request of Jean-Paul Boucheron, owner of the largest music publishing house in Paris, parliamentary secretary, golf champion and son of one of the richest families in France. He owned a large collection of luxury cars, mainly Bugattis, Bentleys and Hispano-Suizas. He died in 1944, aged just 29.~
  • His father kept the car until his own death in 1952, when it was acquired by a family friend, an English doctor who repatriated it across the Channel. It remained parked in his house filled with antiques, unused, until 2001, when it was acquired by a Bentley enthusiast named Graham Firth, who simply had the upholstery redone in 2015, a year before the current owner purchased it.~
  • A veritable time capsule, this extremely rare Bentley Vanvooren (the only survivor in this configuration out of the 68 Bentleys bodied by Vanvooren) awaits a complete mechanical restoration and bodywork before regaining its lustre and hitting the road to the most beautiful events of its kind, offering comfort, luxury and performance to its occupants.~
