1924/26 Bentley 3-litre Four-Seat Tourer with VDP style coachwork
Registration no. OL 8925
Chassis no. 620
Engine no. SR1420

On the 1924 short chassis, just 1500 miles are reported to have been covered since completion of this elegant 3-litre four years ago, which features blade wings and new aluminium bodywork in the style of Vanden Plas. The late-sump 1926 engine dates from June of that year and is fitted with bronze SUs and new con-rods. Using a C-type gearbox, an overdrive by Overdrive Services is also fitted, ensuring effortless cruising, a readily accepted modification which greatly enhances today's vintage motoring. The specification also includes a cam-driven Neil Davis alternator, a 13/55 final drive, Lucas bell headlamps and a superb pair of torpedo side lights. Offered by a dedicated Cricklewood Bentley owner of many years standing, this very fine Bentley comes with Swansea V5, MoT and road licence until September 2005.
