Registration Number: GO 4176 Chassis Number: 488 Engine Number: 665
Price: £ POA

Full mechanical rebuild by Clive Oliver in 2001 with lots of bills to support
Now some 7000 miles since and drives really well.

With continuous history from new this superb vintage Bentley is just what most vintage Bentley boys would love to own and drive.
Fascinating history an ex movie star sharing the starring role with Douglas Fairbanks Jnr in the 1951 film Mr Drakes Duck and yes we do have the DVD.
A BENTLEY MOVIE STAR."

"The information in Hay's book is somewhat misleading: The car was involved in an accident around 1933 and sold for "scrap" but it was recovered and fully restored and rebodied with a VdP style body. I have documentary and photgraphic evidence of that. The car was subsequently completely re-restored in around 1960."

This car was purchased by Ian McLeod in 2002.

This photograph was taken on the BDC Tour to Le Mans and Aubuson to celebrate fifty years since the last Bentley win at Le Mans in 1930.

From the film 'Mr Drake's Duck', 1951
