Bentley 3-Litre
Tourer "Vanden Plas"
The following original text in
German was found on the TraumaAutoArchiv
website:
Dieses Modell wies die damals gängie
Tourer-Karosserie mit hoher rechter
Seitenwand und ausgeschnittener linker
auf.
Das schwarze Modell vom Councours
d'Elegance in Apeldoorn 2006 (PE 5757)
wurde 1925 an Wind Commander Cyril
Ashley Vernieux of Chiddingfold Surrey
geliefert. 1950 wurde der Wagen auf
einen Mr. Charles Trevithick aus London
zugelassen, bevor er 1952 an einen
Mr. Charles James Tapp aus Essex ging.
Dieser behielt den Wagen 38 Jahre
lang bis 1990. Danach ging der Wagen
in die Hände seines Sohnes, der
seinerseits den Wagen 1998 an einen
holländischen Bentley-Enthusiasten
verkaufte. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt
wurde das Fahrzeug fahrfertig und
original, aber nicht in einem guten
Zustand erhalten. Der neue Besitzer
hat den Wagen daher durch den englischen
Bentley-Spezialisten Arthur Archer
vollständig restaurieren lassen.
Diese Restaurierung dauerte eineinhalb
Jahre, war jedoch so gut, dass der
holländische Eigner 2000 mit
dem Wagen ohne Probleme an der Rallye
London-Peking teilnahm. 2001 startete
er dann noch bei der Bentley Drivers
Club Rallye in Südafrika und
2002 bei der Classic Malts Rallye.

Translated to English using an automated
tool:
"This model had the time gängie
Tourer body with a high right-side
wall and excised left.
The black model from Councours d'Elegance
Apeldoorn 2006 (PE 5757) was delivered
in 1925, Wind Commander Cyril Ashley
Vernieux of Chiddingfold Surrey. In
1950, the car was registered to a
Mr. Charles Trevithick in London before
1952 to a Mr. Charles James Tapp was
from Essex. He kept the car for 38
years until 1990. Then the car went
into the hands of his son, who in
turn sold the car to a 1998 Dutch
Bentley enthusiasts. By that time
the vehicle was mounted and original,
but not maintained in good condition.
The new owner had the car, therefore,
through the English Bentley specialists
Arthur Archer restored completely.
This restoration took a year and a
half was so good that the Dutch owners
took part in 2000 with the car without
problems at the London-Beijing Rally.
In 2001 he started then at the Bentley
Drivers Club rally in South Africa
and 2002 in the Classic Malts Rally."
