Dean Kronsbein Collection

About

Dean Kronsbein, a British businessman with a collection of classic Bentley and Rolls Royce. He was known to the public by featuring in the show of Richard Hammond's Workshop, in which he commissioned Hammond to restore his Bentley R-Type Drophead Coupe by Mulliner. With only 3 cars ever built, Kronsbein owned both of the remaining cars.

Dean Kronsbein passed away in a yacht accident in 2023, before the restoration of his R-Type can be finished. It was retrieved from Hammond's workshop by Kronsbein's family. A part of his collection was auctioned by RM Sotheby's in London in 2024, including the other R-Type Drophead Coupe by Mulliner.
