The following advertisement text by Stanley Mann was found on the Stanley Mann Racing website on Jun 25, 2011:

"Registration Number: PE 6852, Chassis Number: NR 501, Engine Number: NT 3144

This is a very special Bentley.

Owned for 49 years and rebuilt by a very well respected and knowledgeable member of the Bentley Drivers Club.

This is Bentley is old school and all real vintage Bentley.

With her 4½ litre engine this 3 litre speed model has that extra zip we older BDC members fully appreciate.

This performance may have something to do with the fact that her engine block came from the 1928 winning Le Mans Bentley Mother gun.

CONDITION IS ALL VERY LIVED IN BUT I THINK THIS IS ONE OF HER CHARMS.

A REAL DRIVERS BENTLEY."

This car is for sale as of June 28, 2011.
