1929 Le Mans, chassis DS3557, Joel
Laub
Chassis UV 3957 originally carried
a saloon body by H.J. Mulliner. She
was restored in 1997 by well known
Bentley enthusiast Ulf Smith, a Swedish
diplomat, on the Azore island of San
Miguel, where he is honorary consul
to the Azores. The car lay dismantled
for years and required real Sherlock
Holmes work to find its original components.
Three years and 2,500 hours later,
the job was completed. Joel purchased
the car in 2000 and has since run
several rallies and tours including
a tour of the Azores with Ulf Smith. |
