"So many Vintage Bentleys have been rebodied that one expects to see a replica VDP tourer — witness the fine one on Tom Lester's early 4½ Litre. The original H. J. Mulliner Weymann saloon doubtless passed away many years ago."

The following information was received from Gerry Cohen:

"Chassis no: RN3047
Engine no: (Not provided - VintageBentleys.org)
Registration no: YU 8559
Ownership years - From: 1955
Ownership years - To: 1957

I bought this car from an advert in Motor Sport from a man in London. I drove it home to Manchester and kept it for about 2 years as my daily driver. It was not until I had owned it for some time that I found it was a 4½ litre fitted with a 3 litre engine. I sold it to a dealer from New York and have been looking for the last few years to see if was still listed as being in existence."

This car was owned by Gerry Cohen from 1955 to 1957.
