History: The first owner of this beautiful 8-Litre Bentley was Mr. A.V. Bustard of Antrim, Northern Ireland, who took possession on April 1st of 1931. The car was powered by engine number YR 5086 and fitted with an F-Type gearbox, number 8083. The chassis left the Cricklewood works factory on January 7th of 1931 and sent to Thrupp & Mayberly for enclosed limousine body coachwork. Cost new was 3,055 British Pounds. Mr. Bustard kept the car until at least 1933 when the service records finish. The next time that the YR 5086 is known is in the late 1950s, when the car was in the possession of Mr. Dale, who at some point had the engine rebuilt. A few UK owners followed. In the mid-1960's it was given a Vanden Plas style dual cowl tourer body by Wallis. YR 5086 has been in the United States since 1966. The car is pictured in Johnnie Green's book, 'Bentley Fifty Years of the Marque' (page 111 &113), published in 1969.
