Cult Bentley 4.25 Litre Vanden Plas Tourer 1938 - Red 1:18

Cult 1:18 resin model of the 1938 Bentley 4.25 Litre Vanden Plas Tourer in red. The famous 'Derby Bentleys' were first presented in 1933. Fitted with a 3669 cc version of the six-cylinder engine already fitted in the Rolls-Royce 20/25, Bentley maintained its sporting credentials through a higher compression ratio, twin carbs, a more aggressive camshaft and a cross flow head. Many of these cars were fitted with Park Ward coachwork. But the heaviness of some of the bodies called for greater power, and so in 1936 the engine was bored out to 4257 cc to become the 4.25 Litre Bentley. In total, some 19 Vanden Plas Tourers were built. This all-weather Tourer was designed as an elegant solution for the gentleman who craved the sporty looks of a Tourer with the weather protection and practicality of a drop-head coupe.
