1927 Bentley 3 Litre
Chassis No. DE1223
Engine No. DE1224
Registration No. UA 1007
 
 

"The Red Label Bentleys Reg UA 1007 was owned by my father Joseph Leslie Cowland in between the wars. My Dad died in 2003 and I have just come across the typed Instruction book relating to UA 1007. My Dad has annotated it as 1927 which I guess is the date of the car. It's a fascinating book with instructions as to changing magnetos etc. It has 45 pages with a hand drawn maintenance description on a sort of cloth like paper at the end.

I wondered if the owner of this Bentley would like to buy it before I put it up for auction as I am sure that my father would love the two to be united again. My Dad raced at Brooklands and id many great things and owned many great cars."
