Extract from article: We stay in Petit-Cortaillod and enjoy an evenings boat trip on the Lake. The drive home is a real challenge — it is dark and the cars have to make it back up the mountain. Undaunted we all set off but a few run into problems. Sati and Pam Lall from London have driven their Open Sports Tourer car here from London but now the gear that drives the distributor has failed —Frank, George Klepp and Ralf Storandt get stuck in and the following day use the workshop at the Renaud-Foundation to rework the part and fix it. Maurits van Son who is driving a Close-Coupled Drop Head Coupe by Park Ward puts it well “The Bentley world is a wonderful world, there is such great camaraderie” – never more so, it seems,than when you have problems with your car.

1931 Bentley 8 Litre Le Mans
Registration Number: OU 7794 Chassis Number: YF5012 Engine Number: YX5114

"This 8 litre Le Mans is probably the best one we've ever seen. Mind you not surprising as some £250,000 has been spent in its restoration.

When viewing this magnificent Bentley allow yourself some extra time to wade through the paperwork. The value of this 8 litre is the quality of the professional restoration she has received...

On the button ready to drive away."
