"In The Motor, 3 January 1923, page 1081, appears a photo of a Bentley 3-litre 2-seater by Mann Egerton. No other ID, of course.

However, I believe that chassis 167, with a guarantee date of October 1922 is the only M-E bodied car within the range of chassis 150-220, which is the relevant period. Hence, it is likely that the photo shows chassis 167."

"This is a photo of 1924/1925 blue label 3-litre which my late father purchased for £30 in 1936.

He didn't keep the car for more than a couple of years, but I remember him telling me that it suffered a broken piston during his ownership, which was replaced although the associated con-rod was simply bent straight!

The coachwork was by Mann Egerton and was a two-seater plus dickey."
