1929 Bentley 4.5
Le Mans
Chassis No. FB3312 was registered
on 16th January 1929 to a gentleman
named Captain J. P. Flood. The car
has continuous history, all original
log books, old V5 and current V5 included
(original number plate from new!!).
The car has extensive notes, letters
and service history and requires nothing
to be enjoyed.
The car, like all of these cars, was
not originally Le Mans specifications
bodied in period, but later added.
This last restoration / rebody, chassis
work, etc., were all carried out in
1993 by Stanley Mann. The car has
been in the same private collection
since then, to date 2006. The car
has been serviced by Huckle Bros.
for many years and has just been fully
serviced and has just received a new
radiator at a cost of circa £5K!
The car is stunning and drives without
issue. It is fitted with an original
cone clutch, not modern alternative
4 Speed.
Car has a wooden dashboard, is in
correct British racing green, and
is fitted with good Dunlop Racing
tyres. The car is a 4.5 Litre on SU
carbs and is noted to have original
specs gearbox (Bentley 4 speed!)
It is U.K. road registered and and
is registered with the Bentley Drivers
Club.
