Chassis PL3481 was
originally fitted with a saloon body
and registered in 1929. It was crashed
in the late forties, and the damaged
car was eventually purchased by Tom
Gibson, who owned several damaged
Bentleys, and remained in storage
for some time. In the 1970's the chassis
was separated from its axles and engine,
and was subsequently rebuilt as a
two seater supercharged 4 1/2, using
heavy crank engine XT3629 and the
1930's body from chassis MS3949, an
original blower. Because the original
Registration could not be traced,
the car was reregistered SV 4904. |
