Hi There,
Yes, Park Ward, but no running boards is quite different, looks nice!

Looks really lovely. Thanks for the pictures. A Park Ward Sports saloon really takes the biscuit among Derby Bentleys imho. Why no running boards though? Was this common?

[Bluebottle911]

No, I don't think so. In fact I would say most unusual at that time. Certainly there is a number of PW bodied cars (and others) around without, but most cars, particularly saloons, did have running boards. That car looks to be in fabulaous condition.

Yes, it was in lovely condition with just that correct amount of patina. I will keep an eye out for it next time I am in HoW and have a quick natter with the owner.

Well spotted that man. Now where is my winning lottery ticket?

[cardigankid]

You must have won, it's gone now!

[Freddie von Rost]

Alas, no. The barsteward winning lottery ticket fairy abadoned me a long time ago.
