"Chassis #3
was the first production Bentley to
leave the Bentley factory and be delivered
its owner Ivor Llewellyn in Wales
on AUGUST 1921, a full month before
Van Raalte picked up his car, Chassis
#1 at the factory. Llewellyn would
eventually own three 3-litre Bentleys.
Van Raalte's "sale" was
clearly arranged for publicity —
he was principle in the K.L.G. spark
plug company, which most early 3 litres
were supplied with, and a playboy
race driver of some merit.
Chassis #3 still exists with its original
body, and still runs on K.L.G. K-1
plugs. It's here in Vermont in my
barn."
~~~
"Chassis 3 originally had Lucas
lamps on stirrup stanchions as did
EXP3. I have a set of lamps, just
need to replicate the posts and braces.
Fortunately I have two photos of the
car as delivered with its first owner
behind the wheel to substantiate the
light setup. A few more details and
the car will be as near to "as
delivered" as this human can
make it!"

More Info:
"Body by R. E. Harrison & Son,
Ltd. is original, as is 95% of the car.
Brakeless front axle is from Chassis
261. Reconditioned by current owner,
who bought it in 1994 as a non-running,
partially assembled rolling chassis,
body mounted — and lots of boxes
and buckets of parts. Running since
1998, first time since the sixties.
Historically correct, even to original
K-1 spark plugs." Source: Thurston
Twigg-Smith, Jr., Owner — July

axle to be fitted." |
