Bentley Motors On The Road Magazines Notes and Indices

This two volume publication housed within a slip case, beautifully reproduces the rare promotional magazines that Bentley Motors (1931) Limited published in the late 1930s titled 'On the Road'. There were 13 issues of the magazine and it was designed for current and prospective owners. In some ways comparable to the Rolls-Royce Bulletin of the time, the circulation of ‘On the Road’ appears to have been smaller by comparison, since it has become a much rarer magazine, and very few collectors have complete sets. Volume one beautifully reproduces the magazines which are heavily illustrated and features Derby Bentleys in use by current owners with fashionable backdrops. After an immense amount of research, noted Derby specialist Bernard King has been able to identify most of the cars, and in the second volume, King presents his notes and indices study of the cars and photograph locations cross referenced with registration numbers, owners, brief chassis histories and other promotional literature reference such as magazine article reference dates from The Autocar and The Motor magazine. This is a major publishing undertaking by Dalton Watson – one that every Bentley lover will want to read and enjoy to heighten their fascinations for Pre War Derby Bentley motoring, and the lifestyle that existed in England at that time.
