Bentley 4.5 Le Mans 1928 for sale
The 4.5 litre Bentley is the ideal tourer; without the muscle enhancing seize of a 6.5, the temperament of a blower, or the more sedate pace of a 3 litre, if ever there was a ‘Goldilocks ‘ Bentley its the 4.5 . For the last 10 years this car has regularly covered over 5000 miles a year touring Europe without missing a beat, often cruising all day at 75 mph, (will go up to near a 100mph if you want.) She has gone from Ekateringburg to to St Petersburg, and places not ending in 'burg including Germany, Italy, Turkey, and Sweden.

This car is a formidable performer and has been maintained meticulously by Stuart Fearnside. It has had a complete engine overhaul one year ago, has overdrive, a rebuilt differential, a new radiator, water pump, wheel bearings and is ready for any rally any where.

This car is for sale as of Jun 24, 2012
