"My 8 Litre Bentley has been restored from the ground up to the highest Concours standard by P&A Wood and was offered for sale as the last owner regrettably died… Built in 1931 as a 3-position drophead. Capable of well over 100 mph with brakes and handling to match, and an absolute joy to drive." - Geoffrey Foster Taylor (Owner)
