Sigurd Bølling's Chassis MR3392 (Page 1 of 3)

Still madly in love with his 4½ litre Bentley MR3392, owner of 30 years Sigurd Bølling shared with us the following:

"I found MR3392 at Coys in 1985, in commission for the owner a Mr Deverill(?). I then had the choice between one superbly restored Le Mans replica parked next to it, but fell in love with this totally original car. Have never regretted since.

Registration No. BN 25777 :: Chassis No. MR3392 :: Engine No. NX3452
 

This is actually a car which still retains the original body as well as all components. It is exceptional, having the long bonnet and a V-shaped windscreen, half of it to fold down.

I am the lucky owner since the last 30 years (date 2016) and have used and enjoyed the car touring through UK, Scotland as well as in Scandinavia. After 20 years of use I had to restore the mechanical parts, due to wear — a job left to Clive Oliver in South Stoke. The front lamps have been changed and the car has been given a considerable facelift, all thanks to Clive Oliver, who did an excellent job."

V-shaped windscreen and aluminium body. Wheels still in the front fenders — later moved to the rear.
