1929 Bentley 8 Litre Le Mans Team Car Rep
Registration: GF 778

"Vintage Bentley Le Mans cars are amongst the most exciting and valuable in the world. This impressive example was built up in the same style and in the time honoured "bitsa" tradition, from largely original but non matching parts. The attention to detail is remarkable and its high spec includes an 8 Litre block, "BS" box with "C" ratios, VDP Team Car style fabic body with folding screen, self wrapping brakes with servo assist, stone-guards, straps, Zeiss lamps, twin Klaxons, twin side mounts, double Hartfords all round, dual fuel system and Le Mans tank, etc, etc. The car has completed a number of international rallies including The Flying Scotsman in 2009 and more recently a Tour of New Zealand. Offered for sale in really nice lightly patinated condition. Fast, sure footed performance delivered with an exhaust note that leaves one in no doubt there was once an era when Britain truly was great. Black with polished nickel."
