This 1928 Rolls Royce 20 HP (chassis GKM20) was recently re-bodied in this fantastic, sweptback Park Ward Streamline saloon bodywork. Numbered B201, this body was originally commissioned by Bentley's then-project engineer, Ivan Evernden, as a testbed used to demonstrate the benefits of applied lightness and aerodynamics to skeptical colleagues. Fitted to Bentley chassis B23AE, the car was timed at 103 MPH in November of 1933. Point proven, this 3 ½ liter car was re-bodied in a more traditional Van den Plas drophead replica, the special Streamline body thought to have been lost until recently. Find them both here as a package at realcar.co.uk in Gwynedd, Wales for 75k GBP (~$126,658 today).
