1929 Bentley 4½ Litre Le Mans Short Chassis
Registration Number: UW 4420 Chassis Number: XF 3515 Engine Number: TX 3247

A rather nice vintage Bentley which has seen some recent expensive professional restoration work carried out on her which looks like money well spent.

She drives very well and feels strong.

With her high Back axle ratio touring in the 80s and above should prove a doodle.

Fresh looks and quality shine from this Bentley.
