This is out of our personal collection.  Since 1935, this 1935 Bentley 3.5-liter Sports Saloon by Park Ward has been owned by only two families before me and has accumulated a fully documented 44,000 miles from new.  And according to the factory documents, she was built to be the 1935 Scottish Show Car.

The first owner was Lt. Col. J.H. Courage, who was perhaps best known for being the proprietor of a well-known British brewery and who resided in a sprawling mansion known as Kirby Fleethom Hall in Northhallerton, UK.  Col. Courage took delivery of the Bentley on November 29, 1935.  The second owner was his nephew, Mr. Charles Ashby who acquired her in 1962.  She was last registered in 1967 and had accumulated 18,000 miles.

By 1975, B60FB was bought by its third owner, Ray Huffman from Shawnee, KS.  She still wore her original UK plates that she bares today, SN 7015.  Ray was a wonderful caretaker for her, participating in numerous tours and shows.  He maintained and improved the Bentley throughout his ownership of over 30 years.  During those three decades, he had added 25,450 miles, logging every service in detail in a small notebook.  This notebook is incredibly valuable as a reference to its history.

In September of 1998, the rear end was sent to Fiennes to be completely rebuilt along with being upgraded to a high-speed rear end gearing.  They installed a 3.64:1 ratio providing about a 13% increase in speed over the standard gearing.  This was a $9,350 investment in 1998!  In addition, we installed a full set of new Stahl radial tires.

After Ray’s passing, B60FB was inherited by Ray’s son, Ron Huffman, MD.  Unfortunately, Ron passed shortly after his father’s passing and I ultimately acquired it from his widow.  The connection was made through Simon Curzon of Zenith Motor Company, who helped prep the Bentley for sale.

Today, B60FB just passed 44,000 miles and we have had an opportunity to make many cosmetic and mechanical improvements.  In 2020, B60FB was awarded Best in Class at the RROC Annual Meeting in San Diego and has participated in numerous tours.

B60FB comes complete with the original UK registration card, complete historical documentation, 50 years of service information, tools, Owners Handbooks, car cover and much more.
