1929 4½ Litre
Le Mans
Chassis Number NX 3454, Engine
Number NX 3456.
This very unmolested, everything matching
car is, without question, the best
4½ litre Bentley on the market.
A superb specification - heavy chassis,
self-wrapping brakes, plate clutch,
original HVG 5 carburettors - combines
with fabulous good looks and a meticulous
25-year present ownership.
Recent work includes a £20,000
engine top-end overhaul by Elmdown
and a radiator recore by The Vintage
Radiator Company, retaining the magnificent
original German Silver shell.
A nice archive file accompanies the
car, with copies of Factory Records,
photograph as new and a copy of the
original 1929 Sales Invoice. |
