1927 E. Bullivant Bentley Heads to Auction

by Alison Agudo

If life is more about the journey than the destination for you then you will be able to appreciate the pure beauty of a 1927 E. Bullivant Bentley which is heading to auction at Bonham’s Quail Lodge.

Named after one of the most well known figures amongst car enthusiasts, E. Bullivant, the 1927 Bentley is equipped with a 6-and-a-half liter engine and is among the elite group of tour cars. Known for visionary designs, Bullivant is credited with fitting the high-powered engine into a luxury car which was then used in many other models.

The 1927 Bentley still has all of its original bodywork intact and comes with the original copy of the factory records. The car has made its way between numerous known collectors and its new owner will be fortunate enough to get several photographs documenting the car’s journey through time.

The iconic vehicle will be up for auction at the upcoming Bonham’s Quail lodge auction in Carmel, California from August 18 – 19 and is expected to bring in high bids from car lovers around the world.
