1930 Speed 6, Reg No: GC 3515, Engine No: SB 2768, Chassis No: SB 2757

This excellent example of a Speed 6 was first registered in January 1930 to Mr Weldon of Nottingham with a Van den Plas body. That body happens to be on another Speed 6 in the USA. In 1933 the owner decided to put on a Corsica Saloon body, probably because of the English winters, but in 1935 that body was cut down to an open tourer again!

In 1963 the body builders Van den Plas, put on a Le Mans open tourer body formerly belonging to a supercharged 4 litre which was found in Yorkshire. The car has featured in several motoring publications.

David has driven this car in France, Italy, the Alps and most Bentley Drivers Club events in the UK since 1999. He has a wonderful photograph of the great W.O. Bentley taken next to his car at a weekend in Plymouth in 1996 the very year that W.O. died. We look forward to seeing the Walkers and the Speed 6 here in South Africa.
