"Regrettably I sold my 3/4½ a number of years ago (big mistake) so I am now again looking for a WO Bentley in any condition, year or model, from a bitsa to a nice original car. Would consider an incomplete car or in bits.

I have some pictures of my 3/4½. I will dig them out and send them over. Its chassis number is HT1633, I bought it in 2005 and sold it in 2012. I purchased her from Mr Gerard McCosh, Scotland.

My father also had a couple of 3 litres back in the day and was a trigger happy photographer and has stacks of pictures of WOs from the late 60s to 90s. He owned chassis numbers 387 and BL1620. These were the cars we grew up with from the 70s and 80s."

Although starting life as a late 3 Litre Bentley (1928 chassis which is the same as a 4½ ltr) she has been uprate with 4½ bonnet, radiator, bulkhead and genuine 4½ Litre engine - great for flying up hills, also uprated brakes for going down them.

Having done this rally in it, go touring in it, race it and enjoy it This is the stuff that memories are made of.
