"This is the lightweight Bentley
owned and raced by Hamish Morten in
the early 70s. He rebuilt the car on
chassis 618 in 1973. The engine number
is RN3050. This car won the cinquantenaire
race at Le Mans in1973 and also the
Vintage Seaman trophy in 1973 it also
still holds a record at Prescott for
class6set in 1973 that I beleive still
stands today. The car was subsequently
owned by Keith Schellenberg who raced
it up until 1988. I bought the car
from him in 2004." |
