There’s an aristocratic tradition among very wealthy hunters. To make quick work of the hunt, independent coachbuilders were asked to transform a sports coupé into a sporty station wagon, fit for dogs and guns. These vehicles are known as “shooting brakes”, and Aston Martin and Jaguar cars have regularly been transformed in this way. But when it comes to Bentleys, this is infinitely rarer. This car in particular, auctioned by RM Sotheby’s, is one of the most well-made. The car is all the more exceptional in that the Milan-based historical coachbuilder Touring Superleggera has promised to build only 19 examples of its “Flying Star”. With longer doors and rear wings, as well as new taillights, this transformation, which came out of the workshops at the end of 2009, cost almost €350,000 (in addition to the car itself). The starting bid of 500,000 euros should easily be tripled.
