"1926 Bentley 3 Ltr Red Label Speed Model
Registration Number: YM 7101 Chassis Number: AP 312 Engine Number: DE 1209

This is a late 3 Ltr Red Label Speed Model with a 4 seater VDP style tourer body. Finished in classic British Racing Green.

She is fitted with the close ratio A box, twin sloper carburettors and the late big sump engine. These engines can easily be converted to 4½ Ltr if extra performance is desired.

Being the late model she has all the best bits that a good 3 Ltr should and she drives fabulously.

Ready to drive away."
