The following
information was found on the Stanley
Mann website for this car as of Feb
19, 2009:
Registration Number: GJ 5686;
Chassis Number: RE 1396; Engine Number:
NT 3150; Price: POA
Says Stanley Mann, "This vintage
Bentley still carries its original
VDP coachwork and is in very nice
order... it went back to the factory
in 1930 to be reconditioned for sale.
In those days the factory would do
a complete once over, put up the car
for sale and give a new guarantee."
According to Stanley Mann the upgrading
to 4½ litre took place sometime
in the late 40s namely the fitting
of a 4½ engine and 4½
litre steering, etc.
He says, "I remember selling
her in 1983 to a really super nice
chap who then sold her back to me
in 1985. He then decided, like his
good lady, he couldn’t live without
her and bought her back (the Bentley
not his wife ) and kept this Bentley
until his demise... The engine has
been rebuilt with rear axle, water
pump, all less than 4000 miles ago...
It is now for sale and in mint usable
condition having always been looked
after as a Bentley should be."
