Bentley car that is the last one left of its kind emerges for sale

The unique 1928 Open Sports Tourer model, built by bespoke Barker & Co Coachbuilders, is expected to sell for an incredible £2.3 million.

Only two vehicles of this 6.5 litre make were ever built, it is unknown what happened to other motor.

British car expert Rupert Banner, said: “The Bentley 6.5 litre proved to be a high quality car favoured by upper echelons of society.

“This example has been exquisitely restored to an incredibly high standard and is the only car to survive that bodied by esteemed coachbuilders Barker & Co.”

Restored to its former glory, the car includes a traditional wooden dashboard, black folding roof and a pale blue body with black trim.

The 90-year-old convertible has a particularly colourful history, travelling around Africa and Australia under the ownership of a South African woman for 20 years.

Mr Banner also said the Bentley is estimated had covered around 38,000 miles by 1934 and was recently owned by a British citizen.
