Full discussion on User_talk:Eddaido#Vanden_Plas_or_Van_den_Plas?. Excerpt: On the one hand File:1931 Bentley 8 litre Vanden Plas Tourer 3829414576.jpg cleary states that this Woolf Barnato owned car is by "Vanden Plas" (=England); well, of course mistakes do appear everywhere, but this is the official description of the Pebble Beach showing, which should be quite reliable; and is it really imaginable that the Bentley chairman himself let his personal car being bodied not by Bentley's foremost coachbuilder but by the similarly named competitor from the Continent? Well, I don't think so. And on the other hand this very car is identified as being by Vanden Plas (England) on coachbuild.com - cf. third post from bottom on [1] and fourth post from top on [2]. To me, the style of the car looks very much in line with other VdP (England) bodied cars, too.
