	1928 Bentley 3/8 Litre Road/Race Car is marked as 'SOLD' on Stanley Mann Racing website as of May 06, 2010. Stanley Mann does not mention the Chassis No., Engine No. or Registration No. in the ad, which he normally does. The Reg. No. seen on the Reg plate is 'WM 1626'. The following text was found accompanying the photos: "Rebuilt in the 80s as the fastest Bentley 8 Litre Special... Cost her owner then, in excess of £650,000 to do... When he got tired of playing with her, I bought her to rally and race and spent some 9 years enjoying her with some success on the track... If you’re fed up with the Ferrari try something that will really blow your socks off... Full race international papers... A box of big boy nappies (included)"
