A faithful recreation of Georges Paulin’s one-off design on a 4¼-litre Bentley will lead a host of desirable classics at Coys’ Techno Classica Sale on 13 April.
Valued at €350-400,000, the exacting replica is based on a 1939 example and is the result of a seven-year project by Bob Peterson.
With a competition-grade aluminium body, the car is said to be in concours condition and comes with an extensive history file detailing its restoration. See C&SC January 2013 for the full story – and track test – of the real deal.
Competing with the Bentley on style grounds is a gorgeous 1948 Alfa Romeo 6C-2500SS Villa d’Este that carries a guide price of €320-365,000.
