It also goes on to say " Nearly all the pre-war models and the two 8.0 liter Bentleys that came here still survive today"
If there were 16 or so W O Bentleys directly imported and a few more brought in second hand, like the 8 litre cars, (the records exist for all 100 8 litres and none came new to India) then the rest were all Derby Bentleys 3 1/2 and 4 1/4 litre. Do you have Derby Bentley sales lists? I don't.
