1924 Bentley 3/4½ Litre Le Mans
Registration Number: PD 3211 Chassis Number: 762 Engine Number: TN1556

"Well, having driven this Bentley all through the summer and autumn and reckon this is a smashing car.

It never missed a beat and goes really rather well. With its long legged Back axle and the fitting of overdrive I don't think any other vintage car passed me on the road. Imagine 80mph at 2000 revs and there still loads of revs to go.

Mechanically; fully rebuilt by Elmdown Vintage with new bullet proof crank and rods and then there's lots more goodies besides but why not come in and find out yourself."

1924 Bentley 3/4½ Litre Le Mans
Registration Number: PD 3211 Chassis Number: 762 Engine Number: TN1556

"Although starting out in 1924 as a Bentley 3 litre she was fully rebuilt in 1995 into the form we see it today as a 4½ litre LeMans style tourer.

This Bentley has full rebuilt engine by Elmdown some 5000 miles ago with new crank /rods/valves rockers etc all to race spec. She has the LeMans style dash and a VDP rep body with race style seats etc.

Finished in black with black leather (and before you ask could easily be painted green) this is a very good vintage Bentley at special price.
