Hi Terry,
Welcome to the site, I'm sure you'll find some interesting things here!

Yes it's a Bentley but you're a year out on the original year of construction.
It's was later rebodied as a 'woody' estate as seen here.
Any thoughts on which model Bentley it is and who rebodied it?

I'll say it's a 1935 3.5 litre Derby Bentley Shooting Brake.

Yes, not sure why that came out as Johns. Car is for sale at the moment - very desirable!

I guess Trommel meant Jones Bros. as Bentleybob correctly stated.
To be fair I'll give you both a point as Bentleybob also added more information.
