The car in 2006 after emerging from 40 years of storage and before its 'nut & bolt' restoration.<br />
<br />
'W.O. Bentley's Masterpeice' - This 1939 stunner dubbed 'the most the most advanced motor car in pre WW2 Britain' has been restored for sale - but you'll need deep pockets for the £400.000 asking price.<br />
<br />
The beautiful Lagonda V12 Drophead Coupe was designed by W.O.Bentley just as storm clouds were gathering across Europe, and it's top speed of 140mph was unheard of at the time.<br />
<br />
It spent more than 40 years languishing in a barn before being uncovered in 2006.<br />
<br />
It was bought by a wealthy car enthusiast who paid for it to undergo a full 'nuts and bolts' restoration.<br />
<br />
The motor now appears as good as new and is to go under the hammer with auctioneers H&H Classics of Warrington, Cheshire.
