Stanley Mann's website
displays this car as an 8-litre.
Text accompanying the photographs
on Stanley Mann Racing website states:
"Rebuilt some 20 years ago as
a full 8 litre Le Mans Tourer and
definitely with the WOW factor...
The drive I (Stanley Mann) had today
in her was amazing... Engine has just
had a full ground up rebuild and the
whole car is showing a little patina
which makes her look great."
Also: "One of the great Bentleys
excellent for long rallies... Realistically
priced."
