3 Litre Bentley

This previously 'unidentified' vintage Bentley has been identified by Olle Ljungström.

Ljungström says, "Originally VdP tourer, body 1050. According to Hay: Bentley the Vintage Years, converted to 2 seater by unknown coachbuilder about 1928, probably on shortened frame. Wings might be retained from original coachwork. Subject to comparison with 3½-litre Derby Bentley in "The Autocar", March 30, 1934."
