This 1963 Bentley, formerly owned by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees, is one of just fifteen such examples to be fitted with
the special 2-door Drophead coachwork by coach builders H. J. Mulliner Ltd. of London. Powered by Bentley's own World
renowned whisper-quiet 6.2 liter all-alloy V8 engine, and fitted with the famous Rolls Royce type servo (power)
assisted drum brakes, in its day it offered the ultimate in grade and pace "Alfresco" open-topped motoring.
Even today the Bentley V8 engine remains unrivaled in its smoothness and quietness of operation. It has recently been the
subject of a very comprehensive rebuild costing tens of thousands of dollars.
The price at the time these photos were taken was $225,000.
