1929 Bentley 4½ Litre Le Mans
Fully rebuilt to 100% perfect condition in 2006 or as they say in the ads fresh.

Got to be honest here, didn’t want to put the price on as it’s not cheap but does have a very, very high spec.

New racing crank, rods, pistons, valves, etc, etc.

Full racing undertray, racing seats, zeiss headlights plus all the normal goodies for a Le Mans.

Yes, it’s even got matching engine and chassis and gearbox and axles and steering. Well, in fact, the only thing it doesn’t have is her original coachwork but then there’s not a great call for black saloons (body removed in the 50s).

A joy to drive, a nightmare to convince the wife she’s worth it but with many years trouble free motoring ahead.
