Daniel van Lierde,
owner of Chassis No. HF3193 says:
"I have the original invoices
of the car from Bentley, bill of lading
of the car up to Buenos Aires, insurance
of the car for the freight, bills
of Bentley when the car was rebuilt
in 1931 giving the specifications
of engine and body, etc.
The car lies in my collection of mostly
Argentine race cars, and today remains
in Italy after participating in the
Mille Miglia (1986 (car # 86), 2003
(car # 40), 2006 (car # 32) and in
2007 (car # 31)). I plan to be at
Goodwood (Great Britain) with HF3193
by the end of August and enjoy a small
rally in England with some friends.
Afterwards I will take part in Mille
Miglia 2008 and come back to Argentina.
I am a member for more than 25 years
of the Classic Car Club of Argentina
(founded 1965), and also the Sport
Car Club of Argentina (founded 1948)."
"Since new and still original
today, the car has had three modifications
done in 1930 by first owner, Forrest
Greene… The car remains with
his original chassis and engine. Also
radiator, gearbox, dashboard, etc."

Owner: Eric Forrest
Greene - First owner has always been
Mr. Eric Forrest Greene, who also
owned at the same time a 3 liter Bentley
(now lying in Great Britain). He owned
both cars and raced them continuously,
as he did with Bugatti and Delage
(1500 CM3, the nicest and difficult
one!). Chassis No. HF3193 set an Argintine
Flying Kilometer Record of 184 KM/H
in 1932. It was raced extensively
up to 1934. Mr. Greene died in a car
accident in 1954 during a race with
an Aston Martin DB3 in the: 1000 Km
de la ciudad de Buenos Aires.
Car was special ordered with:
* High compression engine
* Special gearbox
* 6 1/2 hood
* LeMans suspension with Telecontrol
* LeMans driver seat
* Special dashboard
Eric Forrest Greene carried out three
modifications in 1930: He changed
(1) the position of the spare wheels
from tail to the front fenders, giving
space to (2) a larger tank (LeMans
style), and (3) changed the material
of the body from aluminium to vinyl.
As you may notice, he liked to race.
