Hopefully not a repost.... I don't know who built this car, so one point for the base car (be specific!) and another if someone can tell me who built the bodywork

1933 3 1-2 Litre Derby Bentley Shooting Brake by Park-Ward.This one (B3BL) started life as a Park Ward drophead coupé.

Correct!
Do you know if the shooting break body was also by PW? My source, which gives a fairly comprehensive history of the chassis, says it was an 'unknown' coachbuilder... One point given, another one waiting if you can prove who built it!

Chassis B3BL was delivered in August 1934 as a Park Ward bodied Drop Head Coupe on the 3 1-2 litre Bentley chassis to Alexander Duckham of oil fame, but this body certainly was not constructed as such by Park Ward. So the description should be:"1934 Bentley 3 1/2 litre Shooting Brake (by unknown coachbuilder), chassis B3BL"
Picture from The King's Speech movie

Okay I'll move this to the solved section now. Still a point on offer if anyone can prove the coachbuilder but I assume that will impossible at this stage....
