"I bought this car from Stanley Mann / Steven Russel in 2015. I was very lucky to learn to know Stanley! Steven Russel gave me a great service with the car. We drove up to Scottland and now my Wife and me enjoy the Bentley in Switzerland, where I imported it in 2016."

The following advertisement text by Stanley Mann was found on the Stanley Mann Racing website on October 6, 2015:

"1930 BENTLEY 4½ LTR LE MANS
Registration Number: SC 6561 Chassis Number: PB 3533 Engine Number: 3532S
Price: POA

SC 6561. A late model 4½ Litre Bentley from the final year of production and therefore benefitting from the heavier pattern chassis and self wrapping brakes.

The factory records show that she was supplied by Bentley Motors to their agent Rossleigh of Edinburgh with coachwork by Krolite of Edinburgh and was the only Bentley bodied by them.

We have a list of owners from new until the present day. She was enjoyed by the last owner for 12 years and by the previous Bentley loving family for 17 years. They really do know a thing or two about Bentleys. Engine fitted with Phoenix crank and rods, team car brake adjusters within reach of the driver, Le Mans fuel tank and D type gearbox fitted with overdrive for unstressed long distance motoring. Body and trim all in perfect order with excellent hood and tonneau."
