From Stanley
Mann Racing website in Nov 2007
"The last owner's story
just makes this car:
Bought by him in 1953 as a crashed
car front end and amazingly
on the day of delivery they
managed to have yet another;
this time a rear end smack can
you wonder why he bought her!
Well, in those days vintage
Bentleys were so cheap, this
was the best way to have a ready
supply of spare parts (well
he was competing with his other
Bentley and this seemed a good
idea).
Having decided that after racing
for some 50 odd years, it was
time to hang up his racing gloves
he sold his Bentley 4½,
litre racer and made a decision
to rebuild the immortal remains
of this Bentley.
Although some of her vital organs
were missing this exceptional
restoration includes a full
engine rebuild on her original
engine no UK 3280 by Abbot (one
of the best engineers to get
his hand dirty on vintage Bentley
mechanics).
Other work included rebuilt
back axle, gearbox brakes, etc...
The body is by H M Bentley and
Partners and would have been
fitted in the 30s. Not original
to this car but taken off another
Bentley, it is very correct
and restored.
Needs running in as only 800
miles since rebuild finished.
Excellent value, please phone
or e-mail.
Get on your bike as I think
first who sees will buy.
Stanley"
