I just found a picture of this car, labelled as a 1952 Bentley MK VI Park Ward Drophead Coupe.  Colored tan upper, red lower.

Strange, there are a lot of 1952 MK VI Park Ward pictures out there most don't look like this car.

NVM.

I found the car.  1949 Bentley MK VI Drophead Coupe by Abbott.

It would be interesting to see how that roof folds down.

Emphasizing, you can't always trust the internet.  The "1952 MK VI Park Ward" is almost certainly another Abbott.

Correct! Though I believe that this particular car is actually a fixed head coupe rather than a DHC... I'm happy to be corrected though

It is a drop head coupé.. see the pics below of the a car on the Motor Show and a rear quarter view. Also available as four light though.
