A 1935 BENTLEY 3.5 LITRE HOOPER FOUR DOOR SPORT SALOON, registration number AOX 888, chassis number B152DG, engine number W3DG, in metallic silver green, with blue leather interior. This Derby Bentley, one of 2422 produced between 1933-39, was purchased by Captain A.S.Giles, a former Lord Mayor of Birmingham in 1935, and remained in his ownership until 1954, being exported by him to Canada after the Second World War as settlers rights. The second owner, a Mr James Lillico purchased B152DG for $700 and had the Bentley re-sprayed metallic silver. The car remained in his ownership until 1958 when the car was purchased by Mr Fred McDonald of Port Credit, Ontario. Mr McDonald subsequently sent B152DG back to the Rolls Royce works for a complete mechanical overall. Surprisingly this is when the original James Young drop head coupé body was changed to the Hooper Sports Saloon body, which was restored fully by Hooper, externally and internally, this was also when the 3-band Blaupunkt radio was installed. B152DG was in England for two years having the work completed at a cost of $14,000. After returning to Canada B152DG remained in Mr McDonald's ownership until 1963 when the car was sold back to Mr James Lillico for the second time, and remained in his ownership for the next 35 years. B152DG returned to England and was purchased by the current vendor at the Rolls Royce Enthusiasts' Club National Rally in June 1995. This is an excellent opportunity to own a Derby Bentley with continuous known history and low ownership. There is a good history file with photocopies of the chassis cards, service bills when B152DG was in Canada and England, letters of correspondence between the owners and the Bentley Driver's Club, V5C, MOT'd to July 2009, tax exempt See illustrations
