1923 Tourist Trophy
3 litre Bentley, originally the property
of H.R.H. The Duke of Kent.
This truly delightful Short Chassis
Tourist Trophy 3 litre was Prince
George's first Bentley. He was to
become a real Bentley devotee, later
purchasing, in turn, a Speed Six,
an 8-litre and a 3.5 litre. Chassis#
360, Engine# 861 was originally a
very pretty Park Ward Doctor's Coupe.
At some point in its life, the original
body was replaced with a four-seater
sports. Richard Moss, the doyen of
the quality Bentley restorers, was
commissioned to recreate and rebuild
the car exactly as it was originally.
The car is a delight to behold and
to drive. Its original B Type gearbox
has been replaced with the better-ratio
A Type. The attention to detail and
the superb condition, along with the
Royal provenance, make this a very
cherishable and enchanted early 3
litre. £135,000
SOLD sign found
on Tim Houlding's website on Jun 25,
2011. We cannot be sure when this
car actually sold. - VintageBentleys.org |
