"I regret to this moment selling my 3 liter LM1350 (100mph Green Label) in 2002. It went back to UK and resides in the West under the stewardship of Ernie Warrender. Enjoy this clip. I don't need to be reminded that I should not have sold this car."

"The archtypal 3 Litre Speed Model is that by Vanden Plas and Bentley Motors used their 3 Litre model to dominate the 24 hours of Le Mans race as well as Brooklands and Montlhery endurance speed lap records in the mid thirties.

Chassis number LM1350 started life as a 100mph chassis but was rebuilt as a two seater on a 9ft 9 1/2 chassis in 1934. In 1963 it was subsequently rebuilt on a Blue Label (10ft 10in) chassis with a Freestone & Webb four-seater tourer body. This body was then replaced for the Vanden Plas replica body currently on the car.

This particular example has the unique distinction of being the longest 100mph chassis Bentley extant. This car represents one of the greatest periods of motor racing dominance by one of the greatest marques in racing. A vintage car that you can drive like a modern car."
