Although the vast majority of the Vintage Bentley owners want chassis originality to be determined and want those cars, which are not built on original chassis to be openly established — those in charge of that information will not release it.

Needless to say, buyers will now be very leery of most cars for sale without a documented history and sellers will have a harder time selling their cars without a clean history. Lawsuits will become common.

But you are now free to build (or buy) your own chassis and create your own car. There are a multitude of chassis numbers available for cars that no longer exist that you can stamp on the chassis. Note, that this has never been an issue for switching engines or replacing bodies. Both have been common and acceptable practices. Only the chassis is the issue.

Why is an original chassis a problem, some may ask? "What difference does it make?", "Who is to say what is right and what is wrong?", "We must not be judgmental". For those people, let me help you get started building your Bentley (Build a Vintage Bentley). There will be consequences to these actions.

Best wishes,
Robert
