Recently find in a period magazine, this rendering from the famous Parisian “de Villars” coachbuilder company on a Bentley 3½ litre chassis.
This is most probably the cabriolet built for Argentinean Juan Blanquier, on chassis B87EJ in October 1935.
Carrosserie de Villars built 5 bodies on Bentley chassis and only one is known to have survived. This survivor is a coupe on a 4¼ litre chassis (B8MR) which is, currently, for sale by Frank Dale & Stepsons in England. I would suggest to the future owner of this nice coupe, to re-install the running boards that have been suppressed, it should stretch the line of the car and then make it slimmer.
