This Speed Six Bentley was restored by Stanley Mann in our old work shop in 1980.

At the time I was rebuilding this Bentley with the intention of racing her but this rather nice friendly chap walked in and said, "No, I want one of those because I want to do rallies and continental touring and that Speed Six ticks all my boxes."

So the next day we were finishing this car for him.

I think he must have liked her because he is the only owner she had in those 26 years.

Never done as concours car although even now she’s very smart and has a graceful look about her.

Recommended if you want W.O.’s finest and not at a break-bank price.

1930 Bentley Speed Six

Restored some 20 years ago, last owner 20 years & last time I saw her also 20 years ago.

Driven and thoroughly enjoyed by this last owner being both reliable and comfortable so now looking for a new Bentley boy.

Please come in and see.

The last Speed Six we had lasted in our showroom 48 hours and sold!!

Price, well, come and talk to me.

Ian James owned this car from 1981 to 2007.

"We bought the Bentley for fun and did a number of European rallies in the early 80's ranging from Portugal to Holland and France through the Czech Republic, etc We regularly put 300 miles into the day and the car was really trouble free." — Ian James

The car was sold to Stanley Mann in 2007.
