Karl Reitz's 3 Litre Chassis ML1523

Contributed by Karl Reitz (Owner)

 

I refer to your February 2019 newsletter cover.

 

I am currently the owner of the 3 litre Bentley as per the photograph, owned by L.W. Spratt in 1931. (We were sent this article via some BDC members that recognised it.) I purchased this car from Kobus van Jaarsveld in 2017 and have done several trips in South Africa covering a total of +5000km.

 


Here is Chassis ML1523 as it is today (2018). Part of our stable and very pleased with it.

 

This car is entered for the 2020 International Bentley Tour in South Africa.

 

Just to let you know that it was re-registered since the photos in December 2018 (when the registration was JSL472 GP). The new number is CAW 49753"
