"The larger-engined Bentley was first known as the 6.5 and was first shown in 1926. It was offered with a 'Standard' chassis and a 'Speed' model. The Speed Six debuted in September 1928 and was credited with being the car that most worried its rival, Rolls-Royce, because of the Bentley's power and performance and its refined ride and handling.

This car was originally delivered in July 1929 to Mr. C.F. Tonge in London. It was sold to a Bentley enthusiast in Canada in 1950 and was acquired by its current owner in 1987. The convertible body is modeled on a design by the famous Belgian coachbuilders Vanden Plas. Its American owner has traveled more than 40,000 miles and has also raced the car in a number of vintage racing events at Lime Rock, CT and Monterey, CA."
